Today’s topic comes from QSFer Jim Comer: “Where are the tales of Santa Muerte? Of the demons that infest Google Glass? What haunts the Pacific Garbage Patch? Yuck!”
Our world is full of cultures and situations ripe to be exploited in LGBT sci fi, fantasy, and even paranormal. To add to Jim’s list above:
–Are supernatural forces behind Global Warming to get hot guys naked?
–Is the local Farmer’s Market a modern-day portal into Faery?
–Will Uber’s software become self-aware and take over the world?
Let’s have a little fun today and mine the culture for some great new story ideas. What would you like to see in a new speculative fiction story? Watch for plot bunnies and squirrels (and maybe some sloths) underfoot!
