ESFS AWARD NOMINATIONS: THE CROATIAN PROCESS
ESFS AWARD NOMINATIONS: THE CROATIAN PROCESS
The ESFS Awards are the annual awards awarded by the European Science Fiction Societyand voted on at that year’s Eurocon. I wish I could say they were like the Hugos, but they are nowhere nearly as popular or widely known. Europe being Europe, language will get in the way. While this brings diversity and fresh perspective in abundance, it also brings the impossibility of ever reading or seeing or…

Accountability: March 2020
Image by Nattanan Kanchanaprat from Pixabay
Well, that title has a whole new layer of meaning now. TBH, I have very little memory now how I spent the first two weeks of March. Working mostly, as the Bronze Girl script was supposed to be turned on March 25th and we were only on draft one. That and a lot of other deadlines, as well. As usual.
Exactly one month ago, on Monday, March 16th I…

Spring Convention Season
Photo by Ante Vukorepa
Spring is convention season in Croatia – Fanstastikon in Split, Istrakon in Pazin, SFeraKon in Zagreb all happen March to May. And that’s just getting started. Usually. Am feeling a bit blue, even though I have attended more SFera meetings (online!) in the last 2 weeks than I have in the last year. So I am going to this: WiFi SciFi, A Virtual Mini-Convention 15:00 CET on…

Time for Accountability
I think last year might have been the one where I burnt out but was too busy to notice. I set a goal for Rantalica for 2019 – a minimum of 4 posts a month, one of them accountability.
I managed it in February, April, May, June, July, September, October and November. 8 out of 12 is not bad. Neither is 61 posts in all, because it brings to about 5 a month, which is…

ZAGORKA
My mother used to swallow romance novels. Printed on cheap paper and equally cheaply written, there were so many around the house. But one day, I discovered such romance – even better, because it was set in Zagreb of old! – on the shelf with all the thick, boring books. I discovered Zagorka.
The moniker stands for “She Who Belongs to/is from Zagorje”. Years later, I was surprised to find out…

China Science Fiction Convention 2019
The fourth annual China Science Fiction Conference was held from November 2-3 in Beijing, and I was lucky enough to be among the people that the organizers, China Association for Science and Technology, invited to attend.The con was held at the Beijing Expo, right next to the Riverside hotel where I was staying.
It is surreal to me that it has already been more than a month since this trip…

Accountability, Almost on Time, For a Change
Accountability, Almost on Time, For a Change
November started out quite peacefully: I was in China and cut off from Google and social networks altogether, which brought its own kind of rest I apparently needed more than I knew. Also, I love being on planes and traveling halfway around the world does mean 10 or so hours on planes, and that was really restful too. (Yes, I know, crazy, but still.) Also, meeting some big names of SF for the…
