In Dragon Raja, i like professor Schneider, but there's a moment in his backstory, which i think is wrong. In short: during mission in Greenland, Schneider's student got attacked by a dragon and died. When professor went down on the seabed, trying to save them, he shoot on that dragon, causing it to bleed, and was, too, attacked by the dragon, resulting in necrotising his face, and ruining his respiratory system, as well as dragon blood pollution. Quote: "“Fortunately, the rescue helicopter arrived in a few minutes. After I woke up, the doctor said that I had suffered from the extreme cold. I danced with the god of death and inhaled that cold air it breathed out at minus 200 degrees. It necrotized my face, the temperature of my brain dropped and my blood was frozen. My chance of survival should have been non-existent.”

“The doctor tried his best and managed to save my tongue. But I must wear an oxygen mask at all time, and change the plastic trachea every two or three years, otherwise my respiratory system will fail and I will die.”

“Only one in 100,00 people can evolve safely after being in contact with the blood of an elder dragon. I was actually one of the lucky ones. I was able to survive the bottom of the sea because it had already begun to increase my potential. But I am not a person who is fully able to accept dragon blood. My body is riddled with holes. strengthening me while destroying me. I have endured the pain for 11 years. The most likely in the college to turn into a Death Servitor is not Chu Zihang, but me.”

Moment, that i hate.

"No, No. Eleven years ago, that was in Greenland. We found a similar embryo.” Schneider spit out a complete smoke ring. “You might have guessed it. I was talking about the unresolved case in the Greenland Ice Sea. The dive team was annihilated, but the school board ordered all files to be sealed and the investigation was forcibly terminated. If you want to hear this story, you have to be patient, because this story is very long, and please order Norma (EVAs human personality) to leave this room. You with a black card now, you can do it.”

“Why should Norma leave?”

“Because Norma doesn’t know. The so-called top secret cannot be stored in the system or the drives. It can only be stored here.” Schneider tapped on his forehead. “After listening to this story, you can’t say a word. You can’t even write a memo for yourself. This is a rigid rule of the college. You can only remember every detail I said firmly as far as you can. If you forget it, there’s no remedy.”

From here:

Why it is wrong - because writer (Jiang Nan) doesn't provide any reason for it. Even his student, Johann Chu, doesn't know. I, honestly, think it's unfair. Of course, i can write a fanfic and change that, but still.

So sweet UwU💙 Lmao imagining Luminous say “Da fuq?” XD

“I didn’t even know I was ticklish there!” - Luminous and Erii :3

“I want to go to New York Central Park. 4th of July please.” She’d texted him at 3 am on July First. He woke up to two more texts.

“Where can we find the Italian Ice Cream Man?”

“And the guitar man”

“Da fuq?” Luminous had stared for several minutes at his phone trying to figure out once again what she was on about.

“Slow down what do are you talking about?”

Rather than explain she just copied and pasted the text.

Saturday in the park I think it was the Fourth of July Saturday in the park I think it was the Fourth of July People dancing, people laughing A man selling ice cream Singing Italian songs >:D

After much investigation and, a little begging for spending money from Caesar, they found themselves in Central Park, on the fourth of July. Erii was barefoot in a cute yellow dress, digging in a paper cup of gelato with a little wooden paddle.

It was hot and the grass was itchy, but she was so happy, looking around. He was shocked to find that there was a singing Italian man. She had googled the Guitar man and was stunned to find out he was naked in Times Square. She glared at her phone for several seconds before shaking her head.

Luminous happy she didn’t insist on seeing that guy.

She paused and started writing in her note pad and held it up. Luminous held his breath in dread. “Not many people are laughing and no one is dancing!”

“Well, I mean, there are some kids...”

She shook her head, tossing her fiery red hair.

What could she possibly want? The world couldn’t entirely cater to her imagination. “Okay, close your eyes and dancing and laughing will appear.”

She nodded and closed her eyes.

Feeling a bit mischievous, Luminous scooted over and ran his fingers up her ribs.

Erii brought her notebook down on his head three times before he could protest, and then paused, holding up the book in shock.

Luminous flinched, “Easy! I just tickled you!”

She lowered her book, still wide-eyed. Then she wrote. “I didn’t know I was ticklish there!”

She reached up and gave him a gentle pat on the head.

Interview with Son Ji-Sang; Genre definition of SFF and the current situation in South Korea

Introduction by Terrie Hashimoto

Do you know that two SF organizations were founded in South Korea in 2017? One is Science Fiction Writers Union of the Republic of Korea (SFWUK). Another is Korea Science Fiction Association that not only writers can join.

Son Ji-Sang (1986-) is a South Korean writer and translator (JP to KR), and a member of both organizations. He had loved reading since when he was a child and read Asimov, Heinlein, Edgar Rice Burroughs and so on. But what made him decide to write stories by himself were Ooyabu Haruhiko’s crime novels and Tsutsui Yasutaka’s short stories. (Both are Japanese writers born in the 1930's.) His other favorite novels are: Tiger, tiger! by Alfred Bester, Stranger in a Strange Land by Heinlein, Old Man's War by John Scalzi, A Night in the Lonesome October by Roger Zelazny, Slan by A.E. Van Vogt. 霊長類南へ (Reichōrui, Minami-e) (1969) by Yasutaka Tsutsui, 果てしなき流れの果てに (Hateshinaki nagare no hate ni) (1966) by Sakyo Komatsu.

When I had a chance to exchange replies with him on Twitter, I was really surprised to see a term Widescreen Baroque on his pinned tweet. It is the term which was originally invented by Brian Aldiss to describe a kind of space opera, but it must be long forgotten in anglophone countries. The index of that term was finally on the SF encyclopedia this year (2019). http://www.sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/widescreen_baroque

I asked him about the use of the term and dug into the definition of science fiction in South Korea from the inside view.

*Note: This conversation was originally in Japanese and this is my translation. Japanese and Korean names are written on family name first order.

[[MORE]]

Rikka Zine (RZ): The term Widescreen Baroque is common among Korean SF fans? I was actually surprised to see it on the copy of your novel.

Son Ji-Sang (SJS): No, not really. Despite Alfred Bester is known and highly acclaimed here, the idea of Widescreen Baroque isn't known at all. I read and write Widescreen Baroque alone. Sorry to say, but I think it is not the genre which can be taken well in South Korea.

RZ: I see, thank you. In Japan, even some younger SF readers know the term. Possibly it is known better than anglophone countries. By the way, Bester is a really good writer.

SJS: I think that the reason Bester's popular here is because his works have some of the elements of good adventure fiction.

Actually, when I saw the term in a Japanese book for the first time. What I write always becomes Widescreen Baroque-ish and has some similarity with authors like Alfred Bester, Van Vogt, Komatsu Sakyo, and Hirai Kazumasa. I think that I am one of the most intensive readers of the Japanese SF writers at the Golden Age in South Korea and even in Japan possibly. I struggled to collect second-hand books.

RZ: Now I am remembering that you talked about Ooyabu Haruhiko with Matsugawa Yoshihiro (@Colorless_Ideas).

SJS: That's right. Ooyabu's novels were the trigger for me to write fiction.

RZ: I have wanted to interview with someone about the SF convention which was held last November by Korea SF Association. Can you let me know about a panel you managed? Was it about Widescreen Baroque really?

SJS: Sure. I hold a panel to expand the definition of Science Fiction and introduce the ideas of Innerspace, Widescreen Baroque, and Speculative Fiction. In current South Korea, SF is used in the improperly narrow definition. For example, movie Inception (2010) is tended to be thought that it is fantasy. So I named the panel as it was and presented that Japanese comic Baki by Itagaki Keisuke is speculative fiction. Here are the other topics on my panel.

-Fantasy and science fiction are not opposite ideas really.

-New Wave movement and it was influenced by hippie and psychedelic culture.

-SF started as a future prediction. But it turned to speculative experiments.

-Inner Space is a kind of autobiography. Widescreen Baroque is very opposite.

RZ: Great. What panel did you feel interesting the most?

SJS: Unfortunately, I was so busy preparing for my panel and needed to attend another panel unexpectedly which was held by my eager friend, writer and critic DCDC. So I couldn't see the other panels.

But I can say that the panel I wanted to see the most. It was named "A conversation between female scientists" and the panelists were a science writer and an astro scientist.

RZ: Can I ask a little more about the situation of the genre? As for Webzine Mirror, an amazing platform which has provided SF for free which was launched in 2003, when and how did you join it?

SJS: I had posted some stories as an amateur writer from 2007 to 2009 and joined as a nonfiction contributor in May 2013. I posted some articles about how to write fiction and it gave me a chance. I have been a fiction contributor since 2016.

RZ: I would like to know how genres are called and defined in your country. Webzine Mirror's official name is "Webzine mirror for fantastic literature (환상문학웹진 거울)". I feel that fantastic literature is not a common equivalent term of SF. Why it is named as it is, not science fiction (공상과학) nor fantasy (판타지)?

SJS: If I explain it, it will be a really long complicated story. So I try to explain a summary. You know, narou-kei or Isekai has been a boom in Japan. (Interviewer's note: narou-kei is a Japanese word for the trend of Website “Shousetsuka ni Narou (Let's become an author) which is a platform for fiction writers. The trend basically means "the heroic savior of another world". Isekai means another world in Japanese.)

That kind of thing was once popular in South Korea almost 20 years ago. Since early in the 1990s, online fiction has been already common. Some titles were scouted by publishers and printed. An example is Dragon Raja (1998) by Lee Yeongdo. It was a big hit and translated into Japanese. The boom had continued and made a trend in the early 2000s which was quite similar to the current Japanese isekai boom. This movement keeps alive today and IT is called fantasy. So generally, fantasy means this. It is really like Japan's Isekai ore tueee genre (Note: A meme. "I am so strooong in an alternate world") stories and there is a cliche I-Go-Ken, it is an abbreviation from Isekai - Highschool boy - rampage.

　By the way, the banal plot is summoned to an alternate world, so it's basically just transportation to an alternate world, not a die and reincarnate into another world. Besides, the way of transportation isn't getting run over by a truck and die. The pattern here is jumping off into Han river to commit suicide and enter into a portal to another world. It's a meme.

　To separate the "fantasy fiction" after Dragon Raja from fiction that internationally recognized as fantastic literature or fantasy (e.g. E. T. A. Hoffman's late romanticism, Italo Calvino's fantastic tales, or Kadono Eiko's fantastic children literature), we often call it fantastic literature in South Korea.

　Moreover, the definition of SF in South Korea is generally much narrower than that in Japan. Fiction that can be regarded as SF in Japan with a high possibility is often regarded as fantasy or fantastic literature in South Korea. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (by Yasutaka Tsutsui) is regarded as fantasy in South Korea, too.

RZ: Can you tell us a little about your story that is in 2018's Best of Webzine Mirror anthology 아직은 끝이 아니야 (It's not over yet)? Is it a cat story?

https://www.aladin.co.kr/m/mproduct.aspx?itemid=181730305

SJS: Yes, of course. It isn't SF actually, it's a horror story told from the point of view of a girl. An old garbage man happened to have a cat, the cat gave birth to kittens. But a kitten was kicked to death by a cat hater. The man used cats as decoys and revenged mercilessly. (Oh, I spoiled all the story.) It was inspired by a true story which I've heard of.

RZ: You translate Japanese books and the author of this anthology's title story, Ko Hokwan (고호관) also translated books of Arthur C. Clark, Larry Niven and so on. Are there a lot of SF writers who translate foreign SF? Is it common?

SJS: Yes, it is. Writer and the chairperson of the SFWUK, Jeong Soyeon (정소연) translated over 10 science fiction including "Flatlander" by Larry Niven, The Speed of Dark by Elizabeth Moon, and Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang by Kate Wilhelm. There are more SF writers who also translate.

RZ: The number of current members of SFWUK is about 50 people, right? The ratio of men and women looks almost 50/50 and many young emerging writers belong to it. Is my impression true?

SJS: It's true. We are about 50 people now. Almost 50/50. But we have a bit more women than men. Most members are young.

RZ: Thank you very much!

Sensor Sweep: Hall of the Giant King, Henry Kuttner, William Stout, Alex Nino

RPG (Grodog): Thinking through the mega-dungeons I’m familiar with, the stand out qualities that I love to play through, and the mega-dungeons that bring that to the table are: Best Environments to Explore and Map: Castle El Raja Key, Maure Castle, Caverns of Thracia, Foolsgrave. Most-Fun Encounters: Castle Greyhawk, Foolsgrave, Rich Franks’ mega-dungeon. Most-Fun Puzzles, Enigmas, and Centerpiece Encounters: Castle Greyhawk, Maure Castle, WG5, ASE1/2-3, Undermountain.

Science Fiction (Alexandra Rowland): I was groomed and abused by Scott Lynch and Elizabeth Bear for several years. For a long time, I never wanted to talk about this in public. I didn’t want anybody to know about this. I only began rethinking yesterday and I was still considering what to do about it, but… …Apparently I don’t have that luxury anymore.

Art (Modiphius): The Art of Robert E. Howard’s Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of features a selection of some of the most incredible art associated with the classic barbarian hero ever assembled into one set of covers. With one of the most successful gaming Kickstarter campaigns of all time, Conan set out to be the definitive treatment of Conan in games: central to that was recruiting a stellar lineup of artists for covers and interior illustrations. The Art of Conan presents a variety of art drawn from the incredible core rulebook and the expansive line of sourcebooks and supplements, organized by book, allowing players and fans of amazing sword-and-sorcery art to enjoy this fantastic art on its own.

New Release (DMR Books): Cahena is a historical novel (with fantasy elements) dealing with the brave and beautiful warrior queen who reigned over the Berbers in the seventh century. The Cahena, as she was known, was believed to be a sorceress and prophetess. She led an army forty thousand strong, wielding javelins and scimitars, in a valiant struggle against the Mohammedan invaders who were fresh from their conquest of Carthage. Rich in historical detail and dramatic action, this is a story to rival the great war epics of all time.

Publishing (Amatopia): There’s been talk on social media by Big Prominent Authors who’ve been paid a lot of money to write stuff about how hard it is to stay prolific in these totally unprecedented and difficult times. These writers–whose only job is to write–can’t seem to squeeze in a page or two amidst the chaos. It’s emotionally taxing do perform their job, you see. It’s so hard because evil bad people who may or may not be orange keep them from focusing. What a bunch of weenies.

Genre (Pulprev): Today when people think of science fiction and fantasy, chances are, they think of two separate genres. Science fiction, the genre of starships and computers and technology. Fantasy, the genre of knights and dragons and castles. Two distinct genres, and never the twain shall meet. The meeting of the two, science fantasy, was the exception, the red-headed stepchild, never part of the mainstream. This wasn’t always the case.

Art (Heavy Metal): William Stout has had a long and eventful career as an illustrator and production designer—you can read all about it in the biography on his official website. His work has run in numerous publications, including Heavy Metal. And then there was Masters of the Universe. The 1987 movie seemed like a good idea, given the popularity of the toys, but the Cannon Films production, starring Dolph Lundgren as He-Man and Frank Langella as Skeletor, was a flop.

Paleontology (Phys.org): Lions were once far more widespread than they are now, with several subspecies of lions dividing the world between them. They were found in much of Europe and Asia including the Middle East, in Africa, North America and maybe South America. Previously, the cave lion Panthera leo spelaea was found across much of Eurasia and as far as Alaska and Canada. But cave lions died out 13 000 years ago, perhaps partly due to humans, although paleontologists suspect that climate change played a major role. The American lion P. leo atrox suffered the same fate.

T.V. (Kairos): Loyal readers know that a key mission of this blog is shedding light on Hollywood’s hatred of their audience. Much as A Bridge Too Far proves Pigman’s Caine-Hackman hypothesis, the1998 movie Pleasantville epitomizes Hollywood Death Cultism. YouTuber Devon Stack, who reviews movies with a keen eye for both literary criticism and propaganda, explains this superficially innocent film’s subversive depths. “As much as the baby boomers fought to overturn and rebel against and eventually destroy the American culture that existed before them, one thing that I have always found interesting is how much the same champions of counterculture that sadistically dismembered their heritage and mocked every tradition their parents have gifted them, but at the same time romanticize this same culture they worked so hard to undo.”

Science Fiction (Adventures Fantastic): “Trog” appeared in the June 1944 issue of Astounding. It has never been reprinted. The story is set in 1956. Civilization has been collapsing for four years. The general consensus is that humanity has a collective, mass consciousness that has tired of civilization. It takes over people at random and causes them to destroy things. Supply lines have been disrupted. Food is scarce. Things that break cannot be replaced. People destroy things. Those that do are called trogs, short for troglodytes.

Book Review (Marzaat): In the summer of 1565 on the parched ground of Malta, the future of Western Civilization was decided. Would the Moslems continue their expansion into the Mediterranean, preying on European ships and taking Christian slaves as far away as England? Or could they be held back? It was an epic struggle, an astounding tale of resolve and leadership, of disunity in command and disunity among allies.

Tolkien (Notion Club Papers): Tolkien and The Silmarillion by Clyde Kilby. Lion Publishing, Berkhamsted, Kent, UK. 1977 pp 89. (US edition, 1976.) This is a hardly-known, slim, minor, but fascinating contribution to the writings about Tolkien. Its centre is an account of the summer of 1966 which the author spent meeting with the seventy-four year old Tolkien a few times per week, ostensibly to provide him with informed and enthusiastic secretarial assistance to get The Silmarillion ready for publication.

Pulp Magazines (Black Gate): This third installment of the Weird Tales deep read covers the eleven stories in the October 1934 issue, including the first Jirel of Joiry story by C. L. Moore. Her flame didn’t burn as long in the Unique Magazine as the Lovecraft-Howard-Smith trinity’s did, but it did burn as brightly. Moore had sixteen stories in Weird Tales between 1933-1939, twelve in an incredible burst of creativity in the years 1934-1936.

Travel (Last Stand on Zombie Island): Outside of Moscow, reportedly on the location of one of the principal stavkas of the 1941 defense of the city from the German invasion, now stands the so-called Main Cathedral of Russian Armed Forces. Built by popular subscription (with lots of help from the military and government) the immense Eastern Orthodox church is a living, breathing memory to the Russian (not Soviet) effort against Hitler in the Great Patriotic War.

Art (DMR Books): The result was The Fantasy Worlds of Alex Nino, which came out in 1975, just a few short years after Alex began doing work for American comics. The publisher was Christopher Enterprises, a somewhat shadowy company about which I’ve been able to discover little. They emerged on the scene in 1975, put out portfolios by Nino and Michael Kaluta, then followed that with a Bernie Wrightson portfolio in 1976. Also in 1976, Christopher Enterprises published several awesome posters by Wrightson and Stephen Hickman.

Weird Tales (Tellers of Weird Tales): I first wrote about Earl Peirce, Jr., on May 17, 2017. I misidentified him then as Earl Monroe Pierce, Jr., based on his age and his residency in Washington, D.C., where Peirce/Pierce is known to have lived. A month later, an anonymous commenter let me know that I had the wrong person and provided a link to an online discussion about the right one. I removed what I had written and promised an update and correction. By then it was too late: my mistake was memorialized in the Internet Speculative Fiction Database (ISFDb) and you can still find it there today. I pride myself on doing good work.

Old Science Fiction (M Porcius): Here at MPorcius Fiction Log we are beating the heat and staying off the streets by reading old issues of Thrilling Wonder Stories at the internet archive. In our last episode we read three stories by Leigh Brackett; those tales of rough men trying to master their environments and find or create a place where they belonged–and the women who loved them–were later reprinted in Brackett collections and theme anthologies. Today we read three stories by Henry Kuttner that have not been quite so widely reprinted–you might call them “deep cuts.”

RPG (R’lyeh Reviews): 1978: G3 Hall of the Giant King. 1974 is an important year for the gaming hobby. It is the year that Dungeons & Dragons was introduced, the original RPG from which all other RPGs would ultimately be derived and the original RPG from which so many computer games would draw for their inspiration. It is fitting that the current owner of the game, Wizards of the Coast, released the new version, Dungeons & Dragons, Fifth Edition, in the year of the game’s fortieth anniversary.
