My Superpower: Anne E. Johnson (Green Light Delivery)

/

My Superpower is a regular guest column on the Skiffy and Fanty blog where authors and creators tell us about one weird skill, neat trick, highly specialized cybernetic upgrade, or other superpower they have, and how it helped (or hindered!) their creative process as they built their project. Today we welcome Anne E. Johnson to talk about how the power of writing around chaos relates to Green Light Delivery. —————————————— I can write while surrounded by chaos. When I was an undergrad at a large university famous for its party life, I would often go to the Student Union on Saturday night. Hundreds of students and faculty would be there, hoisting beers (the legal drinking age was 18 back then) and carrying on. I’ve never been a drinker or a partier, but man, I loved the Student Union on Saturday night. Just me with a cup of coffee, doing my Ancient Greek or Latin Comp homework amid a crowd of half-soused revelers. They ignored me, and I them.

Torture Cinema Polls

Torture Cinema Poll for the Holiday Special!

/

We used to call this the Christmas Special, but given that the winter months are host to a number of holidays, we think it’s time we take a page out of the Star Wars playbook and call this the Holiday Special. You know the drill.  VOTE! (Note:  We’re still trying to fill out our list of holiday-theme sf/f-ish bad movies.  If you have a suggestion, leave a comment below.  We’re also trying to find non-Christmas-themed movies for this; if you know any, please let us know!)
