Memories Wednesday, January 27, 2010As many of you know, having followed this internship period with great fervor (I have been assaulted by paparazzi no less than seven times), I will soon be vanishing from this land. ... There are some benefits to my departure. Once more I will be addressed by other people as Matt and not starving intern, which is less of a title really and more of the beginnings to a declarative statement (read: Starving interns, bookmark this PDF!). ...

Planetary Style Tuesday, March 3, 2009I'm going to talk a little bit about writing style today—not only because it's something that all of us should think about when reading in general, but in particular since it's something I think we should mull over when reading classics from the Planet Stories library. Writing styles change over time, some of them seemingly eternal, others appearing one moment only to flitter into oblivion in the next as the winds of fashion shift. A thousand...Tags: Planet Stories The Road to the Pulps... The Road to the Pulps Tuesday, January 17, 2009The paths to our most cherished obsessions take on many varied forms. For me, one such passion is reading science fiction and fantasy from an older, often more spirit-soaring, freewheeling era. My Yellow Brick Road to the type of pulps we publish at Planet Stories began at an early age with an uncle bequeathing to me a longstanding love of Edgar Rice Burroughs's works. Probably the foundation for my fascination with the pulps was laid much...Tags: Edgar Rice Burroughs Philip Jose Farmer Planet Stories Please Be Our Friend!Please Be Our Friend!

Planet Stories and Pathfinder: Together at Last Tuesday, November 25, 2008Science fiction and fantasy. To much of the literate world, they're the same thing—they even get shelved in the same section at all but the most enlightened bookstores. Yet among those who enjoy these genres the most, the lines between the two are sharp and expansive (even if no two people agree on where that line is drawn). Many of the friends whose book recommendations...Tags: Iker Serdar Yildiz Pathfinder Adventure Path Planet Stories Portraits Gary Gygax: Remembered... Gary Gygax: Remembered Tuesday, March 4, 2008The galley proofs for Gary Gygax's novel, The Samarkand Solution, are sitting on my desk right now, ready for the final check-off before we send the book to the printer. Sitting above my desk, packed into little cardboard sleeves, are dozens of copies of Dragon, the original RPG magazine for which Gygax served as publisher in its earliest days. Until recently, I served as publisher of that magazine, and it always made me proud to know I was...Tags: Appendix N Gary Gygax Planet Stories Portraits New Products Announced...

It seems like every time I turn around, there's more work to be done, or a social engagement... you all know the drill. So when it comes to buying novels, I tend to be pretty conservative. There are so many books to sift through out there that buying at random, or based on a 30-second perusal, just isn't viable—who can afford to start reading a random novel, only to realize halfway...Tags: Planet Stories Erik in Black GateErik in Black Gate Wednesday, September 12, 2007Many of you may be familiar with Black Gate, one of the biggest fantasy magazines around.
