For writers of speculative fiction (sci fi, fantasy, horror) and those who would like to be! Read and discuss your writing; share tips and inspiration!
If you write sci fi, fantasy or horror, join us for tips, inspiration and kind, constructive feedback on your writing!
We will be reading and discussing our responses to any one of the following prompts:
-For weeks, the county has ignored your requests for an explanation of the pit in your yard. Then, late last night, you look out of your window to see seven people in hazmat suits burying a large, shiny silver cube. In the morning, the pit is gone without a trace.
-The zombie apocalypse has occurred. It is not what you expected. The zombies are quite nice, actually.
-Every divine being who is born on Mount Olympus is the god or goddess of something. Generally, they discover it at about the time they reach puberty. But for you, puberty was literally eons ago, and you still don’t know.
-At least one thing has been radically different about you or your environment every time you wake up. You are the only one who seems to notice, and you aren’t sure what’s real anymore.
