Ah, science fiction.  Like any good genre, it has its ups and downs.  But perhaps like no other, its downs can be just as entertaining as its ups.  You won't find cheesy monster suits in an old western.  Or campy silver rayguns in a romantic comedy.  No, only science fiction has the diversity needed to be either truly great (as, say, District 9), or truly horrible (as, say, Plan 9 [from Outer Space]).

This website is all about highlighting science fiction at its best and worst, with a few jokes thrown in for good measure.

Writers Wanted!

Would you like to write for Scifi Hairball?  No? Well, then click "Back" and get out of here, strangey.  For the rest of you, all you need to do is use the Contact link at the top of the page, and point me to a writing sample (or another blog or website) that demonstrates your style.  I'm looking for witty/funny writing that doesn't take itself too seriously.  Reviews, short stories, feature essays, poetry, songs, etc.  Anything well written and about science fiction.
