Hello, friends and amazing readers! I wanted to take a moment to sit down, breathe, and reflect not only on last week, but on the year that we’ve had here at Speculative Chic. I know that we usually throw the roundup party on Saturdays, but given that it was a holiday week, and that this is New Year’s Eve, I…

Welcome to the very end of 2018! For the past few years, we have challenged our contributors to come up with a goal for the coming year. Those goals have varied from “read a certain book” to “consume ALL of the Game of Thrones content currently available.” You’d be surprised and perhaps a little amused that those of us who…

It’s so very close to the end of 2018! We are packing away the year, clearing the debris, and preparing for the coming of 2019! May it be an excellent year in all things speculative fiction! We are looking ahead at the year to come, and we cannot help but get excited about what kinds of media will be coming…

Each Monday, we are pleased to present someone’s favorite things! We’re madly in love with so many things and we love sharing those things with the whole world. However, once per year, we convene to discuss the things that disappointed us. Perhaps it was something that we had been anticipating and we felt let down by its reality. Maybe it…

The year is nearly finished! You may recall that quite a few of us set ourselves some goals for the year with our 2018 Resolution Project. How did we do? Let’s talk to a few of our contributors and find out!

‘Allo! Welcome to December! Is it just me or has 2018 been the longest year ever? I normally reach the twelfth month and wonder just where the time went. Not the case this year. Anyway, it’s December, and that means that soon I’ll be reading Terry Pratchett’s Hogfather for the fifteenth or so time, because some traditions are too good…

Hello all! Happy Thanksgiving to those in the USA who celebrate it. The “official” winter holiday shopping season kicks off tomorrow (even though there are some businesses who have decided to open up today, but that’s neither here nor there, and nobody wants to hear me gripe about that). Either way, the gift-giving season is upon us! I asked our…

Without getting in too deep, the last few years have been tough on a lot of us for a variety of reasons. Many things haven’t exactly gone the way that we would like them to. People are even throwing around the term “the darkest timeline” in reference to the way the world is going. When we find something that makes…

Happy Saturday, friends! And happy almost-Halloween! It truly is the most wonderful time of the year. Pumpkin everything, spooky stories, decorations, candy…I adore it! Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to observe the holiday season as thoroughly as I usually do. I’ve watched some movies, and I’ve had my fair share of seasonal treats, but I want more. I can’t believe…
