In case you missed it, here is the map of the Metro that was posted on May 4th. Thanks to Josée who sent in a pic.
Upcoming Meetings and Events
Our June meeting will be on the THIRD Saturday, June 17th, to avoid a schedule conflict with Scintillation and MonSFFA member Phyllis’ birthday party, to which all our members are invited. The party will be June 10 at the same hall where we had our Christmas party.
You won’t want to miss our June 17th meeting–we have a writer guest appearing via Zoom. Our thanks to Danny for arranging her appearance.
Olivia Atwater writes whimsical historical fantasy with a hint of satire. She lives in Montreal, Quebec with her fantastic, prose-inspiring husband and her two cats. She has been, at various times, a historical re-enactor, a professional witch at a metaphysical supply store, a web developer, and a vending machine repairperson.
Fantasy as Satire: Though you can write a satire in just about any genre, fantasy lends itself particularly well to the idea for reasons both structural and psychological. Olivia Atwater discusses a few well-known examples of satire within the fantasy genre, and elaborates on why they succeed so well at their aims.
