#sciencFiction #Firefly

I'm not sure I would really like to see the wonderful Firefly tv series - cancelled way too early - be resurrected / reimagined / brought into "The New Era" of modern audiences (been burned too often here when the potential had been wasted in instances in favour of money shots and just rehashing old stories).

But the Firefly crew teaser brought tears to my eyes. Spot on in concept and execution. Love.

Wie sah in den frühesten 80er-Jahren die Werbung für mein Fanzine SAGITTARIUS aus, die ich laienhaft zusammenstückelte? Darüber schrieb ich in meinem privaten Blog einige Zeilen.

Hier könnt ihr's nachlesen:

The story for Shallow Trenches, Open Skies just isn't working. I think it's because I'm trying to force the plot to work in tandem with real-world events.
I think I need to take a step back, lean into the scifi of it all, and refocus on authenticity over historical accuracy.

Starting over with some movie research today. Maybe Wonder Woman (2017).

In meinem privaten Blog schrieb ich über die zweite Ausgabe des Fanzines SF-Nachrichten, das seit einiger Zeit wieder eine Wiederauferstehung feiert.

Just discovered this on the web, an academic journal devoted to analysis of science fiction.

"Science Fiction Studies (SFS) is a refereed scholarly journal devoted to the study of the genre of science fiction, broadly defined. It publishes articles about science fiction and book reviews on science fiction criticism; it does not publish fiction."

Nach dem Streit. Alles wieder gut oder abkühlen, Zeit nehmen, sacken lassen etc...

Was hat der gestrige Streit bewirkt und wie geht es jetzt weiter, was hat sich geändert?

(aus "Die Schwarmkönigin")

Today's writing research included:

The Welsh custom of Mari Lwyd
Some more research on weirs, locks and sluice gates

Also I might have figured out the title of the book. Makes it seem so much more real!

Bless the little cottage industry coders who honour a payment made in 2012, I purchased Astrosynthesis 2.0 many many machines ago and after delving into Traveller Lore these past few months it's time to dig out the old universe I made.

Now if only I could remember which one of these old hard drives has the starmap data on it.....
