1. Not related to Philippine spec fic per se, but Chris Garcia writes interesting things about the possibilities of fostering a love for science fiction among Hispanic readers, in “Building Science Fictionistas.”

2. Charles starts a vote and recommend new stories meme. Not being up to date on a lot of works published this year, I’m afraid I can’t participate – but I’d sure love to know which works everyone else nominates.

Banzai Cat has already posted his recommendation. Anyone else?

3. Kenneth of Philippine Genre Stories says that in the next Manila LitCritters session, there will be a critique session for 3 stories from PGS3. In the same entry, he asks if we could bring up examples of stories that we like (or don’t like) that may fall under “Philippine” fiction, speculative or realist. Read his entry here.

4. Dean and Nikki Alfar post the Philippine Speculative Fiction vol. 3 TOC. My story “The Singer’s Man” will be there. And no, it is not what I consider to be a “Filipino” speculative story :)

I’ve already expressed my gratitude to the Alfars over SMS, but I’d like to do that again here. Maraming salamat po, Sir Dean at Ma’am Nikki!

  2. thanks bc :) (i’m afraid i still don’t know your real name!)

    actually it was MRR – i think it’s MRR in dean’s blog now. like a lot of people of my/our? generation, i was baptized with “maria” as a first name. so that’s maria rebecca. the other R is my mother’s maiden name :)

  3. The Singer’s Man is one of my personal favorites of the antho this year (and one of the best written), Bhex. Thank you for sharing it with us. It definitely deserves an audience.

    And by its inclusion in the TOC, you know I think its Philippine Speculative Fiction LOL. Sorry about the error in your name, made corrections. Banzai Cat is also in the antho, under his real name, so pester him about it :)

  5. @dean – thank you for always being so encouraging :) you and miss nikki are an inspiration to us all. i’m really happy you liked the story, too.

    as for bc’s real name: i’m too shy to ask anyone their real name directly. i’ll just pester mutual friends/acquaintances!

    @charles – thanks for keeping my anonymity safe, until i broke it in a big way :P and congrats, too! i have to ask you about that certain cat the next time we meet up…
