The Skiffy and Fanty Show is changing. Sorta. We’ll keep doing the things you all love — interviewing amazing authors, discussing news and topics of interest to the SF/F/H community, and reviewing crappy movies (and books) selected (usually) by you — but we also want to expand.
That’s where all of you come in. We’re looking to expand our content by adding contributors. What are we looking for?
- Reviewers
We get a too many books for Jen and I to read, and that makes us feel bad. Really. That’s why we want to add some reviewers for the show. If you’re interested in getting a free book in exchange for a review, send us an email! So far, we’ve got one taker, but there are plenty more books to be read!We’re also interested in movie reviews. If you’re a nut for SF/F/H movies and want to review them here, we want you like a rodent wants a piece of cheese.
- Contributors
Jen is running for President and I’m trying to get a PhD. so I can wear suits and bother undergraduates for the rest of my life. That means, with all our other online and real-life engagements, Jen and I can’t fill up this blog the way we’d like. And when it comes right down to it, we shouldn’t. You learn a lot about what we think by listening to the show. We want new voices. New ideas. New humorous reviews based on the book cover. New ?s of the Week. And even new features altogether. If you’ve got an idea, or if you’d like to occasionally blog about major things happening in the SF/F/H community, let us know. All it takes is your soul, two gallons of Red Stripe, and a pack of gum. See? We’re not that demanding… - Guest Posts (from authors, filmmakers, etc.)
We’re interested in guest posts for two reasons: 1) we can’t read or review everything we get in the “mail,” and 2) we think it’s a wonderful thing to hear what authors have to say about their interactions with the genre. As such, we’re interested in guest posts on all kinds of genre-related subjects. See the Contact page for more information on that.
Those three things don’t really cover the range of possibilities — so if you have an idea and want to contribute it to this site, send us an email at skiffyandfanty[at]gmail[dot]com.
Thanks for reading and listening! Here’s to a very interesting month-ish of 2011.
