Cynthia McMurray (377)   Cynthia McMurray

Author: Michael J. Merry
ISBN: 978-1-4196-8702-0
Although Michael J. Merry’s The Reluctant Colonel is quite a tall tale and a bit far- fetched, I have to admit it did suck me in.

The Top Five Epic Fantasy Series of All Time -
Will Kalif (8,302)   Will Kalif 
This is a list and description of the top five epic fantasy series of all time. I have left Lord of the Rings off the list because it stands alone above even these. The main criteria I used are popularity, longevity and length of series.
There are a lot of massive epic fantasy series out... ( added 16 days 21 hours ago.) |

Metafiction and the 4th Wall -
Bill Ectric (1,122)   Bill Ectric
Most "new" concepts are not really new. They come and go in various incarnations, ever growing in our mass consciousness, until they reach the critical mass known as "everyone is talking about it."

The Mystery of Water -- What Spiritual Force Attracted Me To the Old Well? -
Marty RicKard (1,931)   Marty RicKard 
No running water in our old farm home---we had walking water instead. At fourteen, I carried it from the well---150 steps east, 100 south. It was a hard trip with two sloshing buckets, five gallons, forty pounds, much harder through the drifts in a blizzard's teeth. Now, fifty years later, I had... ( added 29 days ago.) |
Homer, Western Civilizations definition of Culture, Masculinity, and the Silence of Sappho -
- Jennifer Cuddy (955)   Jennifer Cuddy 
In our now ethnically diverse culture of political correctness, can we justify the traditional canon as representative of a universal definition of culture?

Mood and Action in a Tale of the Far Future - Seeds of the Dusk -

Into this short tale are packed... ( added 40 days 22 hours ago.) |
A Plea for Pastiche in Science Fiction -
- Robert Gibson (184)   Robert Gibson 
A story should be judged on its merits, not on its date of publication. Most people, I'm sure, will agree with that.

Politics with a Difference - Science-Fictional Constitutions -
- Robert Gibson (184)   Robert Gibson 
It's fun to set the world to rights on paper, and SF authors are no slackers when it comes to inventing constitutions.

Solar System Development Area - Planetary Romance -
- Robert Gibson (184)   Robert Gibson

Colourful Institutions in Science Fiction -
- Robert Gibson (184)   Robert Gibson 
If you plunge into the vast literature of SF you will soon experience the richness of its sociological range, in particular, the institutions it creates.
Some of these, though splendidly described, are close analogies or even copies of institutions that have existed in historic reality. A... ( added 40 days 22 hours ago.) |
Humane Measures - Miles Not Metric in Science Fiction -
- Robert Gibson (184)   Robert Gibson 
Apart from the United States, which to its great honour has preserved its heritage of English-language measurements, we in the rest of the English-speaking world live in a style-deaf age in which the authorities would have us believe that "centimetre" and "kilometre" fit in with the natural...

Monochrome Science Fiction -
- Robert Gibson (184)   Robert Gibson 
Colour is not essential to a good story. As an analogy, think of film. High Noon (1951) could have been shot in colour, but it is much better, much more intense and atmospheric, for being in black and white.
