Erin Snyder - Fantasy, SF, and Other Bizarre Fiction

If you're looking for my fiction, you'll find it on the fiction page.  Below, you'll find links to some of my other online projects and blogs, as well as a few other sites you should check out.
 

This is my tongue-in-cheek blog about my interests: comics, movies, and other aspects of geek culture are considered.  Updates vary, but, in general, I try to get something up about twice a week.

Don't let the name fool you: I'm not trying to sell you anything.  This is my website, where I look at the various action figures, collectibles, and bizarre toys I collect.  This updates regularly every Wednesday and Saturday.  In addition, there are occasional specials and extra postings on other days.

I post the occasional rant about politics or philosophy over here.  At present, I update very infrequently.

This one's a little different.  About four years ago, I made my wife a comic book about an anthropomorphic penguin secret agent.  As deadly as he is handsome, Elton Webb is making the world a safer place one bullet at a time.  One of these decades I'll go ahead and put together a sequel.

 

The Blue Fairy's Workshop is my wife's toy customization blog, where she posts information about her projects.  If you're not familiar with the hobby, it's kind of like found-art meeting geek culture.  You know what?  That description stunk: just click on the link, and you'll get the idea.  The Workshop updates when she finishes a project, which, depending on her schedule, can take months.  But believe me: it's worth the wait.

My wife's other blog focuses on her reading habit.  Some people read books; others read authors.  She reads entire genres.  This is a new blog, so there's not a giant archive yet, but it updates fairly regularly.

The blog belongs to Gabriel McKee, author of The Gospel According to Science Fiction, a thought provoking look at the relationship between the genre and religion.  Both the blog and book are recommended reading to fans of the genre.  For writers of science fiction, the book is invaluable as a survey of the genre.  I don't know any other resource that provides this kind of thematic breakdown, providing you with a look at the sort of work that's been done over the years.  If you're a new science fiction writer, this is your Bible.

A fantastic blog, updated daily Monday through Friday, run by two aspiring writers.  In addition to providing a barrage of clever articles on pop culture, TV, and politics, they post new fiction, a web comic, and satire.  One of the editors, Chris Braak, also wrote and published The Translated Man, a brilliant science fiction novel that's unlike anything you've ever read.
