FLASH FICTION CONTEST Pikes Peak Writers Conference offers many ways for you to further your writing career – from classes to chances to have your work critiqued, to opportunities to pitch your works to industry professionals. The contacts you make at PPWC can be invaluable. This year our onsite writing contest is designed to assist with making those contacts. Several members of our faculty and staff have each been given a writing prompt (word or phrase). Your job is to introduce yourself and obtain as many of those words as you can. Participating faculty will be identified by a silver star sticker on their ID badges. Using a minimum of 5 prompts (there will be 20 total), write a short work of fiction, up to 250 words. To your entry, attach a single sheet of paper with your name/contact information on it. Please fold that second page such that your name is not visible. This will facilitate blind judging. Entries may be turned in at the Registration desk, and are due before dinner on Saturday night. Among other things, points will be awarded for the number of available prompts you have included. Winners will be announced on Sunday as part of the Conference final luncheon. PPWC TIP #246 SEATED MEALS: Where do I sit? Our faculty members host tables at every meal, giving you an additional chance to meet them.

Swartz The Hugo Awards originally were called the Science Fiction Achievement Awards and first were given out at Philcon II, the World Science Fiction Con- vention of 1953, held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The second oldest--and most prestigious--awards in the field, they quickly were nicknamed the Hugos (officially since 1958), in honor of Hugo Gernsback (1884 -1967), founder of Amazing Stories, the first professional magazine devoted entirely to science fiction. No awards were given in 1954 at the World Science Fiction Con in San Francisco, but they were restored in 1955 at the Clevention (in Cleveland) and included six categories: novel, novelette, short story, magazine, artist, and fan magazine.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} This Immortal by Roger Zelazny Roger Zelazny's This Immortal: in Dire Need of Hip Replacement Surgery
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} This Immortal by Roger Zelazny Roger Zelazny's This Immortal: in dire need of hip replacement surgery. In 1966 (or so I've been told), Roger Zelazny seemed like the future of science fiction. He was one of a progressive breed of SF writers who came to be known as "the new wave" in homage to the French film directors who were said to have influenced them. These authors were generally characterised by a determination to move the genre away from its pulpy origins, to tackle difficult political issues and use sophisticated literary devices to do so. Typical to SF sub-genres, there are all kinds of complexities, arguments and disqualifying criteria relating to the new wave, but the point, as far as this blog is concerned, is that after publishing a series of pioneering short stories, Zelazny was generally regarded as hot, hip and bang up to date. So, with the irony that history doles out to all those who deal in modernism, he now seems horribly passé. Certainly, his first novel This Immortal (first published in slightly shortened form under the title … And Call Me Conrad) has not stood the test of time. While Dune, its 1966 co-Hugo winner, is still widely read (and worth reading), This Immortal seems more like a quaint period piece. The story, for instance, boils down to a standard cold-war mix of nuclear paranoia and alien invasion fear, even if it initially seems completely out there. It's set on a future earth, some years after a near-apocalyptic nuclear war.
