You remember how robots used to be terrifying, powerful automatons that could do everything we couldn’t and kept coming back in time to kill some whiny kid we all wished was dead after a few minutes anyway? Then, at some point in the 90’s they got friendly, and we got things like Asimo, and Ai-bo, and even when they were trying to kill us, it looked like Steve Jobs had designed them specifically to be really bad at killing people. Well, it’s time to be afraid of robots again. Really afraid.

That said, if one of these fuckers could run at a decent clip and it didn’t sound like someone trying to cut through a mobile home with a chainsaw, I would totally ride it. I would ride it, while wearing an unlikely hat.

I was just thinking; What would an electric (not electronic) abacus look like? I bet it would be awesome.

I was thinking about it today, and I think that there might be some disconnect in my brain. Women (okay, not just women, sometimes I do too) wear eye makeup to accentuate their eyes, make them pop. For some reason, I can’t see peoples’ eyes if they’re wearing eye makeup. I only see the makeup and the eyes vanish. The overly made up person stops being a person to me, and might as well be a robot.

I was mulling this phenomenon over when I realized that it could be due to early exposure to things like this (Blade Runner is the second movie that I can remember seeing, A New Hope is the first). I’m not sure if I should blame my parents or the eighties. It’s easier to get my parents to act guilty.

I was going to hold out until I had the story I mentioned earlier all typed out, but I had to to share this. Apparently, if Russians encounter alien life, they will eat it. All ethical discussion of whether or not alien intelligence is a viable food source or not aside, that shit’s fucked.

Turns out it’s not an alien, it’s a guitar fish, but still, that’s awesome.

So, I keep talking about the new fiction project. Here’s what it is:

A news blog, set in a post-apocalyptic-oid future, documenting the crumbling of society. Creative types of any medium will write stories, stage pictures and shoot video of what’s going on in this theoretical age of economic standstill, societal decay and environmental collapse.

Rather than setting up a relatively simple fictional world where one sits down, figures out what the main focus of the story is, and patches together the external details (the ones not central to the story that make it seem believable), we have several people, trying to think out as much of what’s going on in the world as possible. Then, within that world, we find the stories ourselves.

I’m not sure if that’s as coherant as I wanted it to be, whatever.

If you’re interested in this, and you’d like to contribute to any stage of it (the planning, or the actual implimentation), let us know. We’re open to anybody’s ideas, and any area or level of expertise would be appreciated.

So the DVR recently recorded my favourite episode of the X-Files ever and I realized that the guy in it, the guy I knew I’d seen elsewhere and had a lot to do with it being my favourite episode, was Bruce-motherfucking-Campbell. I’ve gone years, I’ve seen the episode a few times, and it didn’t click. I’m a moron.

Now, realize that I’m bareing a part of my soul here; I’m aware that there are some episodes of the X-Files widely regarded as better, but don’t beat up on me. I came to it late.

It’s why I’ve been quiet for the past few days. My gang of writers, creators and degenerates and I have been kicking around ideas about a massive collaboration project that will be such a goddamned mess that everybody will have to love it. It’s knd of a scifi-journalism thing. It’s awesome. I’ll post some more details later, when I’m less exhausted. I’ve put off the planning for tonight, though, so I can get down to the best part, the writing.

Dig it.

(more…)

So, I took a couple of days off for my birthday (yesterday), and I haven’t gotten as much done as I’d hoped. I’m not sweating it, though, as I’ve come up with some massively awesome ideas about fiction, specifically an exciting (to me, anyway) new way to go about the whole storytelling thing. I’ve got some potential collaborators in mind, so some people who read this should expect an email about it soon.

Some of you have noticed that the whole comment thing doesn’t really seem to be working. I don’t know what’s up with that. It will probably start working again at some point, we’ll see. The web-nymph is all over that shit. For now just email me if you want to say something.

Also, since the comments are boned I haven’t been able to add this to the comment to my doom and gloom end of the world post. Jeremy sent it to me, and it ties in with the whole social decay thing going on in New Orleans.

I had to use tinyURL, because the actual URL seems to be the only thing consistently making wordpress lose its shit…

That’s it for now, my head is buzzing with mad fictions.

Around this time of year people start talking about where scifi is going (Ellis is a good example of someone talking about it, but it’s mostly been through his email list). Maybe not people you talk to but, trust me, people are talking about it. Even if examining things like this closely isn’t all that important to you you’re going to recognise the difference between the world that produced Startrek and the one that produced Bladerunner. Hell, look at the difference between episodes 4-6 and 1-3 of Starwars. Fiction is culture, and thus an important piece of the picture.

So, I find myself wondering, ‘what’s the next step?’ All of the old subgenres are dead and we need something new. I’m not really sure what exactly, but I have a feeling that it’s something in my peripheral vision that I’m not looking at quite closely enough. The of the matter is, though, the moment it’s defined, it’s over. It happened with cyberpunk, with the seventies’ new wave, it’s even the case with the Mundane SF stuff that everyone is so excited about right now. The act of defining a genre establishes the boundaries and kills the fun (and the possibility) of exploration. It’s the same deal with everything, really. Most of the important impressionists did their best work before impressionism was really define. That’s not to say that it can’t be fun to read a new book written in a dead genre, or even profitable to write one, it’s just not doing anything new which is, fundamentally, what sci-fi should be about.

So what does that mean? It means that all of the jerkoffs who sit around talking about genre drift and trends (myself included) should leave that to scholars and define the next genre by writing it. Unless you’re one of the people who wants the next big subgenre to be re-tellings of StarWars, I don’t really recommend writing that.

Anyway, that’s what I say, but who’s going to listen to me?

Nobody.
