Feminist SF Carnival

mebelifurniture ElhovoThe 21st Carnival of Feminist Science Fiction and Fantasy Fans up at Heroine Content!

Looking for a host for the 22nd issue. Please contact memebeli if interested.

Honorable Denizens of Cyberspace! As your wayward Carnival Organizer, I humbly beg your forgiveness! I would have a long in-depth excuse as to why we have had such a long hiatus between carnivals, but it ultimately comes down to my neglecting my bloggerly duties in favor of icky RL responsibilities, and no one wants to hear the details of that. Sadly until such time as I learn to sustain my body purely on force of will or am able to download my consciousness directly into the blogosphere I’ll have to deal with the hassles and distractions of meatspace.

But never lose your faith, feminist fans of the fantastic, for I have returned with a volunteer to host the next edition!

I’m sure you all remember Skye, who is solid, liquid, and gaseous awesome.

So without further ado, the skinny on the 21st Edition:
Where: Heroine Content (Announcement)
When: May 1st
How Long Until Submissions Close: Until April 28th
Who: skyekilaen[AT]gmail[DOT]com or avengingophelia[AT]gmail[DOT]com or the submission form
What: Suggested theme is “Who Do You Love?” but all posts relevant to gender issues in speculative fiction will be gladly considered.

As our last edition was way back in February, the upcoming edition will accept submissions reaching back to February 7th.

And *ahem* I still need a host for the 22nd. Contact me if you’re up for it.

February got away from me, and so my online responsibilities got the back burner. While I was distracted, the 20th Feminist SF/F Carnival was posted on the Podblack Blog. (Sorry Kylie!) And I’ve been neglecting to link it, or find a host for the 21st.

Well, enjoy the Carnival if you didn’t find it on your own, and if you’re interested in hosting #21 drop me an email.

Location: Podblack Blog
Submission Call: Feminist SF Carnival - 20!

Special Request:

I’ll be looking for any posts that fall into the idea of Feminist Sci Fi and Fantasy, but I’m hoping espeially to see a lot of posts on gaming this month - from Tabletop to LARP, from MMORG to MUDs, from Let’s Pretend to CCGs, anything that you’d define as gaming is of interest!
