Hey BSFS!!!!
I just got Amullette Aflame back from the editor and wanted to give you all a chance to get it Free before the virtual launch May 1st.
FREE Sunday March 30th - Tuesday April 1
After three years in prison without trial, Amullette is given the opportunity for parole if she agrees to raise a stolen child named Mikaya as her own. Another condition of parole is marriage to a high ranking soldier of the Universal. As fate would have it, her selected spouse is her ex-fiancé, Admiral Semaj Kroan.
Adjusting to her new life is easier than she expected as she falls in love with Admiral Kroan and adores the little girl the Universal has asked her to raise. However, as Amullette and Kroan begin to build a beautiful life together they must face making the ultimate sacrifice to get Mikaya back where she truly belongs.
Hey there, BSFS!
You know, it has come to my attention that I NEVER posted any updates to my comic here!
::le gasp!::
My friend and co-writer, Terence Pegasus and I have created a new Wild-West-in-space themed webcomic called WILD SPACE SAGA, a three-arc epic series in the far-flung future.
The plot goes a little something like this:
***
The Future.
Far From Earth.
Mankind has spread to the stars; Earth has been lost. Civilization has fallen and arisen.
Since the devastation of the Imperium Wars, the danger of internal conflict among the Alliance of free worlds has become a constant threat, while the Second Imperium, a cruel mockery of the fallen old civilization, licks its chops for more worlds to increase its growing war machine.
Faced with the superior technology of the Imperium, the Alliance knows that the only defense against the Imperial war machine is unity.
But that hope is bleak.
And an ancient evil is coming.
***
Sound epic? It is! You like Gunslinging? We got it! Sexy catgirls (and boys)? Got that too! Epic space battles and giant freaking robots? We've got you hooked up! High stakes plot with the future of life as we know it on the line? Oh, yeah!
So the only question left is, is your body ready for awesome?
Of course it is!
I should have been sharing this with you all for awhile now, but it completely slipped my mind for some reason (Don't judge me. :-P ). But that means you're all in luck, as we have a good backlog of pages since this past August, when it began. Our first story arc, "The Last Warship" is well underway, So come on down and check us out! New Updates each week! And we have big things in store!
Also, to double your pleasure, we have new concept art and updates posted on our official DeviantArt page. I'll be sure to post some of our new works here as well, so follow my posts here on BSFS. But if you want to keep up with us a bit more closely, and especially if you have a DA account, devwatch us here:

The following is a list of people who will die:
Now what’s going to actually happen? After the events following the group’s hasty exit from the prison, surprisingly few people died. For a show that has no compunctions about killing main characters, there’s been too much build-up for all these main characters to make it. Combo that with the fact that Terminus looks quiet (one might say almost too quiet) that can only be foreshadowing that something grizzly is going to happen.
Read the rest here.
A little something to do while vegging on the couch (nothing on the "boob tube" except COSMOS, really).

NIST: Magnetic Attraction: Physicists Pay Homage to the SQUID at 50
I will ask the question.
What is Afrofuturism?, the crux and purpose of it? Is it a perspective or a cultural designation?
My interest is on material culture, cultural immersion, perhaps an ideal that embraces us all but not necessarily a racial/cultural identifier. So, what's the vibe?
I ask because I am an artist, interested in design (material culture) that we live with day to day. And I'm tired of waiting for the future to come, thinking about contrasting with the present.
