The Stages of TV Show Grieving. Why is a speculative show that really speaks to you cancelled? Why are dull ones renewed season after season? And what could networks be doing to spare us? Stage 1: Denial How can a show that I love not be considered worthy of air time, when stupid ad-grabbing reality [...]
In the early chapters of Lynn Flewelling’s first novel, Luck in the Shadows, wayward protagonist Seregil assesses his new companion Alec and concludes: “The lad was neat-handed, and there was a familiar quickness about him that had little to do with training. And he asked questions.” Fans, as a general rule, are like Alec (lacking, [...]

Admit it: authors are the celebrities of the nerd world. Well, to be fair, there are as many kinds of nerd as there are worlds to hold them—but in the world of the fiction-loving, book-reading nerd? Admit it: authors are celebrities, if not gods. One of the Internet’s best and worst gifts to the author-worshipping [...]
Through the masses of people who wanted to see Joss Whedon’s keynote speech at the Melbourne Writers’ Festival, I managed to acquire 4 tickets. The sell-out time for these tickets was amazing – I think they sold out the day before they were set to officially go on sale, when it was made known that [...]

Is it giving the public what they want, or an insult to a work of art and a cultures intelligence? Is it fanfiction, or a bandwagon that production companies jump on, to cash in while something’s popular? At the risk of this turning into a rant from the start, I want to explain what this [...]

I’ve been going through this phase, of reading ‘classic’ novels, owing mostly to the Classics & 3D Bookshelf apps for iPhone (I don’t have to lug a book around on the train? Great!). I’m not sure what I expected, but I’ve been amazed at how enjoyable most of these reads have been, with such interesting [...]

With only 12 episodes aired prior to Fox’s fateful cancellation decision in 2002, it must seem insane to many that it still generates so much support and enthusiasm.
