Upcoming Meetings and Events<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n

Our June meeting will be on the THIRD<\/strong> Saturday, June 17th, to avoid a schedule conflict with Scintillation <\/strong><\/a>and MonSFFA member Phyllis’ birthday party<\/strong>, to which all our members are invited. The party will be June 10 at the same hall where we had our Christmas party.<\/p>\n

You won’t want to miss our June 17th meeting–we have a writer guest appearing via Zoom. Our thanks to Danny for arranging her appearance.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Olivia Atwater<\/strong> writes whimsical historical fantasy with a hint of satire. She lives in Montreal, Quebec with her fantastic, prose-inspiring husband and her two cats.\u00a0 She has been, at various times, a historical re-enactor, a professional witch at a metaphysical supply store, a web developer, and a vending machine repairperson.<\/p>\n

Fantasy as Satire:<\/strong> Though you can write a satire in just about any genre, fantasy lends itself particularly well to the idea for reasons both structural and psychological. Olivia Atwater discusses a few well-known examples of satire within the fantasy genre, and elaborates on why they succeed so well at their aims.<\/p>\n

Missing Friends<\/span><\/h5>\n

MonSFFA is saddened to learn of the passing of member John Mansfield<\/strong> and MonSFFriend, Jaime Yip<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

WARP<\/span><\/h5>\n

Danny and Val have WARP113 just about ready to hit the presses! The next issue, 114, will need your input! Write a review, a short story, draw a cartoon or create a puzzle! Don’t wait for the deadline.
