I am in the departure lounge of life. So. File 7. 70 Mike Glyers news of science fiction fandom1 THE PHENOMENA BEHIND LEGENDS. Kim Huett has added two new posts to Doctor Strangemind. The first is about the Orson Welles War of the Worlds radio transmission The Great Radio Hoax. As appealing as I find the idea of Wells story taking in so many thousands of people who had been looking down their noses at science fiction I cant bring myself to believe it. The prosaic alternative, that the supposed mass panic was in reality a beat up by a newspaper industry hoping to scare advertisers away from radio back to print by labelling the former irresponsible and untrustworthy, seems far more likely to me. Not surprisingly while CBS was keen to refute such newspaper claims Orson Wells was happy to play along in return for the massive amount of personal publicity it gave him. Now as it happens I recently discovered a small piece of evidence to back up my preferred assumption. During yesterdays Blue JaysIndians game, a man who was at the game tweeted pictures of a shirtless fan who had prominent swastika tattoos on his back.

Leprechaun is an article by Gerry de la Ree all about this incident. This is the Gerry de la Ree who later went on to publish books such as The Book of Virgil Finlay, A Hannes Bok Sketchbook, and Fantasy by Fabian The Art of Stephen E. Fabian by the way. In his article de la Ree repeats most of the claims that appeared in the papers injured people were admitted to hospital in New York, Minneapolis switchboards were inundated by calls, hundreds were fleeing by car in New Jersey. However amongst all this second hand reporting Gerry de la Ree describes his own encounter with The Mercury Theaters Halloween production. I suspect this hits closer to the mark than any of the newspaper hysteria. The second is about the Flying Dutchman and sheep Far Beneath, the Abysmal Sea. The first reference in print to the ship appeared in 1. George Barrington mentioned the matter in his book, Voyage to Botany Bay. According to Barrington sailors had told him of a story about a Dutch ship that was lost at sea during a horrendous storm. This it was claimed was due to Captain Bernard Fokke for he was known for the speed on his trips from Holland to Java. The story went that Fokke was aided by the Devil and that he and his crew eventually paid the price for dealing with Old Nick and so were consequently doomed to sail the seas forever more despite their demise. Sighting the Flying Dutchman was said to be very bad luck. Now what strikes me most about all this is how late in the piece this legend comes. The general agreement seems to be that the Flying Dutchman legend originated in the eighteenth century and that my friends is passing strange. If the Flying Dutchman obeys the principle of reality conservation in fiction then what changed to make such a story suddenly possible Clearly some new phenomena was needed because mysteriously abandoned boats drifting with the currents is a scene as old as sailing itself. If it was simply a matter of sailors wanting to explain boats apparently travelling by themselves then I cant imagine they would wait till the eighteenth century to invent the Flying Dutchman story. Huett also says hes working on a revised edition of his John Brosnan collection You Only Live Once for Dave Langford to add to the ebook page of TAFF freebies. JOT AND TITTLE. Youve heard of the Oxford comma. Now theres the Straczynski period. LOVE AMONG THE RAYGUNS. Sy. Fy Wire names The 2. The Ponds are two of The Doctors most beloved companions. Amy Karen Gillan is best remembered for her eagerness to see every inch of every universe but her most compelling story arcs always foregrounded her relationship with Rory Arthur Darvill. For example, when a trickster time lord traps the three time travellers in two potential realities and asks them to determine which is real lest they die, its up to Amy to sort them out. But she doesnt rely on logic to guide them, she uses her heart when Rory dies in one timeline Amy decides that it must be the fake one because for her no world without Rory could be real.

Nicola Griffith hunts for sff that passes The Fries Test for disabled characters in fiction Most readers will be familiar with the Bechdel Test. Today I want to talk about the Fries Test for fiction Does a work have more than one disabled character Do the disabled characters have their own narrative purpose other than the education and profit of a nondisabled character Is the characters disability not eradicated either by curing or killingThere are more novels in which the main character is disabled and isnt cured or killed, such as the Miles Vorkosigan series by Lois Mc. Master Bujold, but those characters are alone in their disability. Novels in which crips talk to each other Novels in which we talk to each other about something other than wanting to be cured, or how to get cured, or why we want to die because we cant be curedNovels in which we dont die Im drawing a blank. Think about that. I read a lot. I can only think of four novels for adults with two or more crip characters who talk to each other and who are not killed or cured. Its true that until recently I might not have noticed whether or not characters were disabled but, still, five. FIVE. Surely Im missing some. Please tell me Im missing some9 BREW MATCHMAKER.
