Those of us standing against Social Justice in SFF have very few current periodicals that are enjoyable. The two that I managed to get in on were SciPhi Journal and Cirsova, and I missed the Kickstarter for issue one of Cirsova(issue two is live now, go help them out). I missed out on Skelos, and am trying to figure out how to get that one. I know of at least one other periodical that will likely suit my tastes coming up, but I can't find the interview on Castalia House currently.
So, here's the deal: I like short fiction, serialized fiction, and poetry in SFF. I HATE SJW style work(if you haven't read my book reviews). Send me some information, and I'll go over it. If I get enough, I'll be happy to have a periodicals post ... periodically, and pop up another page with constant links.
Eligibility: Get me a website, a patreon, SOMETHING I can read; if you have a free sample, all the better. I can't throw money at you if I don't know you exist. DeFile will largely scoff at you. Black Gate might give you the time of day respectfully, but you'll be lost amid their sea of information.
I might not have much influence yet, but I am given to believe my influence is growing. Let me help the cause of good SFF.
Current known actors:
SciPhi Journal
Cirsova Magazine
John C. Wright's Superluminary
Skelos Press
Superversivesf (on occasion)
I know this was a short post, but I believe it to be important.
When you play Social Justice, the world loses.
To Mr. Nick Cole, while I love your writing, you're the wrong type of actor for this. Until you do some serialized fiction, at least.
ReplyDeleteAh, you like SFF poetry... congratulations on your good taste. I am a (sometimes) published poet (since 1989) and often write poems with SFF themes. I do usually resist the temptation to post the poems online since most poetry markets consider that previous publication.
ReplyDeleteBut I did something in a fantasy vein recently that I foolishly shared on my blog, which is linked here: https://myantimatterlife.wordpress.com/2015/05/17/becoming-a-dragonfly/
Anyway, my friend 'Masha K' shared this blog post with me thinking I would be interested.

Thanks for the shout out!
ReplyDelete" I know of at least one other periodical that will likely suit my tastes coming up, but I can't find the interview on Castalia House currently." Might you have been referring to Compelling Science Fiction and the interview I did with Joe Stetch?

I really need to get around to reading their first issue; I've downloaded it, but with everything I've had come up, I just hadn't gotten to it yet. I think I saw that they've got the second issue about to come out, too.

ReplyDeleteCompelling was what I was thinking. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteLate to the party, but I reccomend checking some of the fiction listed at www.topwebfiction.com. The best one on there is Worm - a superhero story about a girl that controls insects. It was published in serial format but is now complete.
