Early 20th century science fiction was often written as erotica, a connection I don't understand.

Speculative Fiction is the most difficult genre to write well. It requires not only a plot, character, descriptive narrative and language spoken by a culture that either never existed or has not yet existed, but creating an internally cohesive and consistent new universe. The story itself is the easy part.

Why is there no Kathleen Mac award? We need to start a petition!

I use this database quite a bit. It's especially useful to identify sf artists.
