On the future of SFSS (sfss.space)

As you may have read earlier, I've taken a break. Today, I'm ready to relaunch SFSS in a new direction. I don't feel like publishing Western stories anymore, so I'm looking elsewhere.

I started with Vietnam, a country I'm particularly fond of (I spent the best year of my life there), but the SF scene there is almost non-existent and the few stories I've read aren't very good.

With the help of a Polish friend, the next few weeks will be devoted to finding good untranslated Polish stories.

Finally, if you yourself are fluent in an Eastern language and would like to collaborate with me, please don't hesitate to contact me: [email protected]

NB: any other suggestions/comments are welcome.

I'd love to read some non-Western sci-fi! I read a Soviet short story once that was decent, bar the required political messaging.

Check out novels written by Boris and Arkady Strugatsky! Roadside Picnic is my favorite, and spurred the creation of the STALKER video game franchise.

Thank you, I shall.
