Lancelot Schaubert — Thanks for joining us, Gordon Linzner. When you were growing up, what was the speculative fiction that dominated your imagination? Gordon Linzner — Hard to narrow down, after so many decades. I’d say initially authors like Isaac Asimov, Fred Pohl, and far too many others to name, I learned to read early on, to […]

Fiction Writing Help: 19 Types of Sensory Details

Lancelot Schaubert over at The Showbear Family Circus - Lancelot Schaubert's and Tara Schaubert's liberal arts circus. said ::

I’ve offered this bit of fiction writing help to friends in the discord server of the writers here, but I wanted to formalize it as a post for folks to refer back upon. One of those archived posts of mine that to make link copying easier. (It’s getting eerie how often I have to google […]

The Best of CL Moore — Catherine Moore’s empathy

Lancelot Schaubert over at The Showbear Family Circus - Lancelot Schaubert's and Tara Schaubert's liberal arts circus. said ::

As I continue to work my way through classic science fiction short story anthologies, The Best of CL Moore came up next. The books I borrowed (all at once and for an insanely long amount of time) are almost exclusively first editions from the Brooklyn Public Library. I’ve treated them tenderly. As I’ve gone through […]

Lancelot Schaubert — Zoe Kaplan, thanks for joining us. When was the first time you speculated in a scifi or fantastic way? Zoe Kaplan — Probably infancy, but the earliest physical evidence I have is a fantasy “novel” I hand-wrote on notebook paper in the 5th grade. It was based on a game a friend and I […]

Lancelot Schaubert — Hey there Benjamin Chandler. When was the first time you imagined another world or the implications of a new tech? Benjamin Chandler — Oh, I’m sure it was during childhood, setting up plastic dinosaurs in the garden or playing with toy monsters and spaceships. It wasn’t until high school, though, that I tried […]

Andrew Najberg Interview

Lancelot Schaubert — When was the first time you made up a story, Andrew Najberg? Andrew Najberg — Hm. I started writing short stories in 5th grade. To put it nicely, I was a bit…disruptive…in my classes. I’d just been moved to a new city and school from a place I’d been very happy, and […]

ADHD Background Noise and International Coffeeshops

Lancelot Schaubert over at The Showbear Family Circus - Lancelot Schaubert's and Tara Schaubert's liberal arts circus. said ::

I’ve talked to several writers lately about ADHD background noise. When does it help? When does it hurt? How do coffeeshops play into that? I’m noticing something simple about myself. I do benefit from coffeeshop noise, but not from active conversations in my own language nearby. Whatever’s happened to my brain since moving to NYC, […]

FC Shultz Interview

Lancelot Schaubert — When’s the first time you played pretend, FC Shultz? FC Shultz — I don’t remember the first time, but I remember the first time I almost stopped playing pretend. This was the mid-90s and I had an awesome metallic blue power ranger where the head flipped to helmet/no helmet. A few bricks in […]
