So I have abandoned the hubris of calling this a list of top ten dragons (which actually started as a top five) […]

Speculative Chic – Page 4
October 19, 2017 A high school boyfriend once took me to see a Friday the 13th film on our first date, quite possibly hoping horror = fear = girl clinging to his arm. Instead I spent the entire film laughing my ass off, as I’d laughed at many a Friday the 13th film before it. […]

September 15, 2017 My experience this summer. If you’re anything like me, it can often feel like no matter how much I write, it is never enough.

Changing the Map: Screw “Here be Dragons” – Speculative Chic
It is 1983, and I am thirteen and hunting for dragons, on a winter Boulder, Colorado day with crystalline skies so clear that I know it is below freezing outside. But I brave the elements anyways, for I want dragons, and I have five dollars and some change earned from household chores. I take the […]
Yes, the Channel That Gave Us Sharknado Deserves a Hugo – Speculative Chic
Ok. I know that “Leviathan Wakes,” The Expanse’s representative in the Hugo Award’s Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form category comes from the same channel that is responsible for the Sharknado franchise. It’s also up against not just one but two episodes of Game of Thrones. You’re probably thinking, the odds aren’t so great that it’ll […]
