Positive
Asking the Wrong Questions — Science Fiction and Fantasy Ethics is a new group blog founded by author Andy Remic with the aim, up until yesterday, of "celebrating all that is positive in genre fiction." If that sounds rather vague to you, you're not alone--the good folks at SF Signal invited Remic and his cohorts to a ...

BLOG Interview with the SFF Ethics Group
SFX — ... think we live in a culture of 'meh'. The default response so many have to so much is to either criticise it, declaim at great length what they'd do differently or decide that because they don't like something it's the worst story ever told and the people behind it should be murdered because the episode that played in someone's head isn't the episode that played on their TV. This has to change and now a group of the best and brightest in English genre fiction have banded together as the Science Fiction And Fantasy Ethics Group to do just that.

So, first came a new group blog, lumbering itself with the name Science Fiction and Fantasy Ethics . I saw a link to it sometime over the last week or so, a mention of it that piqued my curiosity. I’m always on about ethics (and morals, and the distinction between them) over here at the Geek Show, so I was intrigued to see what their angle was. Ethics as subject matter in strange fiction? Ethics as evaluative standard applied to the writing or ...

On Reviewing, Round 63
Torque Control — ... It may appear to verge on the perverse for me not to have mentioned this conversation until now; in fact it’s down to a combination of lack of time and, for once, not having much to add. But for those who haven’t seen it yet, here are as many of the iterations of the latest discussion about reviewing as I’ve been able to track down: A new group blog has launched, Science Fiction and Fantasy Ethics, which, as this Mind Meld at SF Signal explores, initially had a slightly confused remit. Quoth Andy Remic: “I chose the name ...
