Over on Tor.com I’ve got a piece up priasing FOX for its decision to cancel Dollhouse. I know, a bunch of you will disagree. A whole bunch of you won’t, though! I hope you’ll join me in supporting FOX at this difficult time. I wonder if I should grab up the URL dontsavedollhouse.com? Because there [...]
Over on Tor.com I geek out over the future of electronic comic books and ereaders. My worlds are colliding.
Today on Tor.com I’m mourning the loss of the Prime Star Trek Universe. You know, the one that now only exists in Spock’s memories? It saddens me, because I think Universe Prime deserves a good send-off at the very least. We have yet to see Captain Sisko’s return, perhaps many years later when Admiral Janeway [...]
Yesterday at Tor.com I nattered on about what it takes to create better magazines. Was at work when it went up, so I didn’t get a chance to post about it. The conversation in comments is actually interesting, though there does seem to be one person determined to make me out as a person who [...]
My review of the latest HP movie is on Tor.com. What I did not say was that, during the scene in the cave when they go to get the locket? I kept falling asleep. It was THAT FUCKING DULL. I woke up at the end of it because there was fire. That is one of [...]
At WisCon I was able to quietly sneak away with a copy of the latest Electric Velocipede (issue 17/18!). I was super excited to see it because my story Enmity is contained within. There are also stories by many friends of mine, including two other Altered Fluidians: Mercurio D. Rivera and Matthew Kressel.
I saw John [...]
Over at Fantasy Magazine:
Eliza Dushku has had the opportunity to dazzle us with the range of her acting over the course of this season. She did not. In this final episode she had one more chance to shine. She had a great example before her — Alan Tudyk as Alpha struggling with the different brains [...]
Like any geek worth her salt, I saw the movie this past weekend. I try not to pay too much attention to casting, spoilers, or even trailers, so I was really surprised to see will.i.am in the movie. As the sole brother, I expected him to make me proud. All I can say is that [...]
We’ve had some success with our TV columns and I would like to do more to cover TV on Fantasy. However, I do not want to bombard our readers with a bunch of TV coverage all the time. I think confining it to the end of the week is a good, and maybe not one [...]
At Comicon this weekend there was a special “last minute” appearance by Daniel Dae Kim who plays Jin on Lost. I am assuming it was kept under wraps to avoid prematurely leaking that Jin was returning to the show even though he got all blowed up. Before his autograph session the press folks got a [...]
I’m talking someone who knows all the original series episodes really well and can talk excitedly about how awesome they are. If so, please leave a comment. I may need your help.
Last week at KGB I was chatting with Mary Kowal about her new and shiny Eee PC. Yet another writer joins the tiny notebook cult! Huzzah! We were discussing the merits and drawbacks of the 901 model and she asked me which one I would get were I getting a mini notebook today. Without hesitation [...]
Working for a living is no fun.
Well, it is a little fun. But my new job is very intense and takes up a lot of time. It won’t always, but right now there are many Things To Do and I am doing many of them.
Why am I whining about this? Mainly because, due to this, [...]
It’s that time again: Fantasy Friday. Blog something and win Beer Money! woot.
Looks like the blog is back up again, thank goodness. I’m switching hosts soon; by next weekend probably.
In happier news, the latest issue of Cerise is now live and includes my review of Diner Dash: Hometown Heroes. If you’re a DD fan, you should download this game. You should also play with me in Multiplayer [...]
You can call me Tempest.
I'm a writer, most often committing acts of Fantasy and Science Fiction, though I have been known to slip in and out of genres. I'm famous on the internet, an editor of some repute, and hopeless convention addict.

fantatwee: a portmanteau of twee and fantasy; fantasy where the implications of the story and its themes are omitted so that the act of reading is mostly purely palliative.
