Planetary Fiction, Jupiter - Submissions Open

I'm editing my very first anthology. It will be the volume of Planetary Fiction, Jupiter, for Superversive SF. Stories should ideally play with Jupiter related themes of power, authority and leadership. With a stronger thematic connection the story itself doesn't need to be set at the planet Jupiter. Hard science fiction or Space Opera, even fantasy is acceptable if it is a great story. I've said that there will be extra points given for including diamond snowflakes so long as the crystal structure and physics are reasonable. I maybe should not have said that (though it's true) because sticking snowflakes in every story would get silly very quickly. I might end up having to pick between them. So please, only do that if you're carried away by the idea and can't resist. ;)

I am also open to a bit of poetry or non-fiction science, mythology, or historic pieces about Jupiter, though non-fiction should be on the short side of short.

I don't know yet what the plans for cover art are. With all the amazing pictures from Juno it would be a shame not to use them. Payment is going to be royalties based on sales, in the event anyone buys the anthology. I don't have a idea of the schedule for publication at this time but submissions will close sometime this fall. I don't believe in leaving people hanging longer than necessary.

Please send any questions to jpascal@homeplanetpress.com. If you've got a story to submit, please send it as an attachment to an email with the subject line "Jupiter", with contact information in the body of the email, to submissions@homeplanetpress.com. If either of those don't work (they are new) leave me a note here.

It's Not Projection

Take the case of "fascism". When you can see clear as day that the person who is accusing you of fascism is a fascist, they aren't projecting. They're talking about something ELSE. Basically, in the case of fascism, the basic set of fascist government controls are the default assumption of reality for a whole lot of people. The government is supposed to control every part of your life. The government is supposed to make you moral and good and reflect "justice". The government is supposed to do this by picking winners from the good people and losers from the bad people. The government is supposed to control the way people do business, how businesses (and farmers) function and what they produce. And people should be made to cooperate with this control because they are part of society and society is dependent on everyone being in compliance. This is simply the Truth. It's how the world works and how the world is supposed to work. The Socialist Nationalism, ...

Compulsion is Compulsion, no matter who does it. This is Brilliant Theft is Theft, no matter who does it. Freedom of Association has no room in it for *private* action that takes that away Freedom of Association. If I have a business and have voluntary associations such that I choose to serve some people and to not serve others, that might make me a jerk and it might lose me business, it might make me smart and it might gain me business, but it's got to be my choice. If I would normally serve the current disliked minority in my shop except for the fact that if I'm SEEN to serve them by the wrong people I'll have a private campaign against me as those people do everything possible to ruin me by preventing me from doing business physically or by attacking my customers or suppliers, then I am NOT free to make those choices. Does it really make a difference to losing my CHOICE to voluntarily associate if there's a law that says I may not serve "those people" o...
