Not just rockets & robots...
"Science Fiction" means—to us—everything found in the science fiction section of a bookstore, or at a science fiction convention, or amongst the winners of the Hugo awards given by the World Science Fiction Society. This includes the genres of science fiction (or sci-fi), fantasy, slipstream, alternative history, and even stories with lighter speculative elements. We hope you enjoy the broad range that SF has to offer.






Created By...

"And there."
He held his hand out to the far new horizon and with his finger spread a white line against the turquoise sky. From behind him came a figure. It was a shadowy figure in a long black robe and a creeping form of movement.
It was some time before the dark figure was noticed, such was the intensity of his creating.
"What are you doing?" The voice matched the figure, a whispered scratchy unpleasing rasp. The question not sounding like a question but an accusation.
"I am creating clouds and thus adding the finishing touches to my creation tomorrow I shall rest."
"Sounds like you are an important fellow."
The tall standing figure ignored the derisive tone of the stranger and continued with his creating.
"Would you mind if I created something?"
Busy creating more clouds he continued to ignore the stranger.
"There." The figure pointed a thin, gnarled finger to the ground. A black liquid came oozing out forming a thick black lake in front of the two. He discontinued his attention to the sky and looked down at the landscape blotted with a black that light could not penetrate.
"What is it?" He asked.
"I am going to call it oil."
