All are welcome to join us!

We meet today, 17th of June, 13:00h. The invitation to Zoom will appear in the introduction post right at 13:00h.

Guest Speaker: Author Olivia Atwater

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 repair person.

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.

Joe Aspler: These are the Voyages…: There have been many fine ships named Enterprise. In this presentation, I will summarise their origins, their history, their battles, and the exploration that they carried out.

Discussions: August meeting at the Legion in Lachine, what are we reading or watching, or creating!

 Raffles: Nine prizes are on offer to lucky winners!

And Keith’s SF trivia quiz!
