- From TV Series to Movie Screen: Will The Mandalorian and Grogu Work?
Lucasfilm is moving The Mandalorian from Disney+ to the big screen with The Mandalorian and Grogu. But will audiences follow the story from TV to theaters? With many viewers now preferring streaming at home—and with the series built around character arcs rather than blockbuster spectacle—the shift raises an interesting question: are TV and film audiences really interchangeable anymore? - Why Finding New Science Fiction Online Is Weirdly Hard Now
I sat down with a simple goal: find something new to read. Not search for a specific title. Not hunt down an author I already knew. Just browse — the way readers have always done. Twenty minutes later, I gave up. Not because there aren’t books, but because real discovery has quietly vanished. What used to be shelves are now funnels, and finding new science fiction online has become far harder than it should be. - Why Indie Authors Don’t Appear on “Most Anticipated” Lists — And Why That’s a Good Thing
Why do indie author books never show up on “Most Anticipated” lists? It’s not about quality—it’s about how the indie world works. From short release timelines to direct-to-reader communication, indie publishing plays a different game entirely. Here’s why that’s actually a very good thing for readers who love immersive series, creative freedom, and stories that don’t wait for marketing schedules. - Farewell to On Spec: A Pillar of Canadian SF Bids Goodbye
After 35 years, On Spec magazine is closing its doors—a loss not just for Canadian science fiction, but for the speculative fiction world at large. Based in Edmonton, On Spec championed stories with a uniquely Canadian voice and offered a home for emerging and established writers alike. Its final issue, The Final Voyage, marks the end of an era and raises the ever-relevant question: is this just another case of magazine churn, or a sign of the times? - When Bookstores Shrink Their Shelves (Even the Digital Ones)
Barnes & Noble has begun quietly removing books from its digital shelves — not because readers don’t want them, but because the retailer wants a “cleaner,” more curated catalog. Overnight, titles vanish. Algorithms shift. Indie books get harder to find. It’s the same old pattern: as big platforms age, they tighten the gates. The long tail shrinks. Choice narrows. And readers lose access to entire backlists, series, and genres without even realizing it’s happening. The good news? You’re not trapped in anyone’s walled garden. Buying direct from authors keeps your books permanent, DRM-free, and untouched by corporate inventory purges — no disappearing titles, no algorithmic roulette.
