SEAsian SFF communities?

I know the Malaysian and Singaporean SFF communities tend towards more anime and graphic design, and I've been talking to Paolo Chikiamco (of Rocket Kapre) about SFF there. Would anybody like to talk to me about SFF in other SEA countries?

Sunday Linkfest!

Hello peoples! I have been working on applications to Clarion and Clarion West, as well as developing a business strategy for a SEA SFF zine. Sekrit plans! But I did quite a bit of reading this week too!

First up, there are 20 days left for WisCon36 programming! I wonder if anybody's submitted programming on anti-racism in SFF and/or Asians in SFF because I would like to. And if you're a POC worried about getting to WisCon, Con or Bust! helps out with that sort of thing.

As I mentioned, Clarion and Clarion West SFF workshop applications are now open! They've been open for a while. And again, if you're a POC, you're eligible for the Octavia E. Butler Scholarship that Carl Brandon offers.

I know I mentioned this last week, but it bears mentioning again: Stone Telling 7 reading period is open, looking for queer-themed submissions. Check out the Outer Alliance's interview with editor Rose Lemberg here.

And Expanded Horizons' fundraising period is still going on, I believe. Help EH pay semi-pro rates!

( OK, stuff under a cut, because it gets long )

Hope you enjoy the links! Hope you have a happy week!
