What is speculative fiction?
[themify_box style=”dkgray info”]
Speculative fiction is a broad category of narrative fiction that includes elements, settings, and characters created out of imagination and speculation and not based on reality and everyday life. It encompasses the genres of science fiction, fantasy, science fantasy, horror, alternative history, and magic realism.   JOIN US!

We currently have an ongoing open call to all speculative fiction authors each blog hop.  Story links always due on the 20th of the month of the hop. You post your story on your blog and send the link to the host, which you will find listed in the Rules & Guidelines.
The theme is always optional unless stated required, e.g. Equal Rights-Freedom themes in January, April Fool in April, 4th of July in July, and Halloween in October. Â

That sounds like a fun blog hop. I wish I had more time to write flash fiction for it, but Imytrying to get more words done in my current books.
