Hacking is Magic!

Stefon Mears — Official Website Posted on January 23, 2014 by StefonJanuary 23, 2014

I’ve been trying to put my finger on what bothers me about Agents of SHIELD. Well, that’s not entirely true. I feel profound irritation every time they dismiss the existence of powers like telekinesis, telepathy, E.S.P. and other psychic phenomena. … Continue reading →

The Joy of Discovery

Stefon Mears — Official Website Posted on November 17, 2013 by StefonNovember 17, 2013

There’s never enough time. There always seem to be more books to read, more movies to watch, more songs to hear, more games to play, more things to learn, et cetera. We all do what we can with the time … Continue reading →

What is Science Fiction?

Stefon Mears — Official Website Posted on October 29, 2013 by StefonOctober 29, 2013

So, I spent my last week on the Oregon coast taking an intense class about writing science fiction. How intense? I missed the fact that the World Series started. I don’t mean I missed the first couple of games, though … Continue reading →

Homage Sans Fromage — A Look at Homage in Speculative Fiction

Stefon Mears — Official Website Posted on September 10, 2013 by StefonSeptember 10, 2013

As part of a workshop group I’m in, I recently had the pleasure of critiquing the first chapter of a space opera. (A genre of which I may have a few opinions. Ahem.) Within the first couple of paragraphs I … Continue reading →

Why Write Science Fiction?

Stefon Mears — Official Website Posted on August 16, 2013 by StefonAugust 16, 2013

Recently on GooglePlus, Jason Wade Howard asked the question, “Why do we write Science Fiction?” I couldn’t resist giving a flip answer first: Short answer: because those are the stories that play in my head anyway. I might as well … Continue reading →

Godzilla’s Back … from the Dead!

Stefon Mears — Official Website Posted on July 12, 2013 by StefonJuly 24, 2013

Khant Stop Laughing

Stefon Mears — Official Website Posted on May 23, 2013 by StefonJuly 24, 2013

I have a confession to make. I laughed while watching a big dramatic moment of Star Trek: Into Darkness last weekend. I don’t mean I snickered, chuckled, tittered or giggled. Heck, I can’t remember ever really doing the last two … Continue reading →

Oblivion and Why I Love Science Fiction

Stefon Mears — Official Website Posted on April 29, 2013 by StefonJuly 24, 2013

I saw Oblivion over the weekend. The special effects were great, and the story was fun, but for me it really drove home what I enjoy about science fiction. Some people get into the ideas and technology, others love the … Continue reading →
