(via Women Destroy Science Fiction! This Kickstarter Will Wreck Everything! | GeekMomGeekMom)

On January 15, Lightspeed Magazine launched a daring plan: an all-women double issue, to appear online and in e-subscription. To fund the project, guest editor Christie Yant and her team set a Kickstarter goal of $5,000. They came up with great rewards and described their goals:

It could be said that women invented science fiction; after all, Mary Shelley wrote what is considered by many to be the first science fiction novel (Frankenstein). Yet some readers seem to have this funny idea that women don’t—or can’t—write science fiction. Some have even gone so far as to accuse women of destroying science fiction with their girl cooties. So to help prove how silly that notion is, LIGHTSPEED MAGAZINE‘s June 2014 issue—our fourth anniversary issue—will be a Women Destroy Science Fiction! special issue.
Then, they pushed the Kickstarter button and waited to hear what the public had to say.

They didn’t have to wait long. Their project, “Women Destroy Science Fiction!,” funded its first level in less than 24 hours. It was faster than I could post the project to GeekMom’s Fund This section.

Now they’ve decided to expand their horizons.

Signal boost!


I’m broke, so all a y'all need to do the thing.

Challenge #00391 - A026: Ride the Pony

It says something about us as a species that we can see the most badass creature in any given biome, the one that not even the top predators will go near, and decide “I am going to ride that.”

They should never have gone planet-side, no matter how much Hwell complained about ‘cabin fever’. And, once they went planet-side, they definitely didn’t have to go on a tour.

And they certainly should never have gone on

Challenge #00390 - A025: Ferocious Flavour

Something about the other alien species and the sheer amounts of food that humans eat that would digest us alive if we didn’t digest them first. Maybe a human explaining why we want that legalised to be imported on to a space station (because nobody likes eating nothing but space bran flakes)

“Council will hear…” T'rev moaned. “The Human Coalition.”

“As secretary of the Human Coalition on this station, I receive numerous petitions and

Stand back, I'm about to lay some truth down.

I am a big fan of Steam Powered Giraffe.

And I was moderately upset to see that another fan couldn’t quite handle the fact that Bunny Bennet is a girl. Said fan has since deleted their blog, so I can’t tell if they’re a troll or not. But I figure it’s high time I gave the beleaguered transfolks a break and educate some people.

People who already know about trans* issues, feel free to

Challenge #00389 - A024: Killer Mutant Zombie Human

“You know, considering how resilient humans are most of the time it’s a bit surprising that their reproductive system is so unprotected, especially the males.”

*pained moaning from just offscreen* 

This was beyond surreal. Sitting next to a human (well, technically human) and watching an ancient, speciesist movie with a human starring as the main antagonist. With the unbelievable knowledge that the human had instigated this.

He had asked why, but her answer made no sense. “Because

Challenge #00388 - A023: The Sad Misadventures of Hwell Barrow

“So that’s how I accidentally wound up in an alien porn film.”

Bailing Hwell out of legal custody was nothing new. What was new was that he was naked, save for layers of assorted, melted and melting cheese. All of which he was busy licking off of his hairy arms.

Ax'and'l looked down at Hwell and his expanding mess and squeaked, “In your own words: what the flying hell, Hwell?”

Hwell continued chewing a long string

I love this photo and I don’t know why.

The Spine looks like he has a gap in his teeth.

Rabbit looks terrified of the audience.

And Hatchworth is all, “Yay! I can play a guitar!”

…and then I start wanting fic of how that even happened…
