Sneak peak in FZ Continuum – A stitch in space

"The character’s weapon of choice, a needle, was chosen on purpose; I like to sew." Article in English (top) and in Dutch (scroll down).Pam Hage: “My piece was created for a contest a couple of years ago. The theme was “art avatar”: how do you see yourself as the ultimate, even godlike, artist? I wasn’t quite sure what that meant for me, but I thought that as long as my entry contained stars, feathers, painterly brush strokes, and an overdose of purples, people would know I made it. I’ve used Photoshop to make this, but I use a style that is reminiscent of a traditional oil painting. My entry made it to the finals, so something about this idea and execution must have clicked with the judges!The night sky has always fascinated me. I even wanted to study astronomy, but its sheer amo...

Redactieblog: Fantasize in print – How the f**k did we get here? (GB/NL)

By Karen van den Andel, owner and chief editor of FantasizeArticle in English (top) and Dutch (scroll down)In September 2016 I stepped into a small Fantasy website that generated 6000 hits a year.

By Ninja Paap-LuijtenOur readers would love to know a bit more about you. Can you start by telling us who you are and what kind of work you write?

Life in the Netherlands is good; I doubt I’ll go back to the States.I write science fiction and fantasy, mainly novels, but I enjoy writing a short story now and then as a creative break. Lately I’ve been writing more feminist or inclusive fiction, if you will, including nonbinary characters, but still in the science fiction & fantasy genres. I have a YA science fiction novel published, Offworlder: The Boy From Cell Town, which was translated from...
