Kreativity for Katz--charming! I just ran into this channel, just in time to see that you are going elsewhere. Thanks for all you have done so far. I love your selections and your presentation of them.
Welcome! Very kind of you to comment. I'm still going to be publishing on RU-vid, just slightly less frequently as the new stories will mostly be on Substack.
I've been trying to find KfK for over 40 years - thank you! My brother called one of his cats Gummitch having read this. He was old & venerable when he died.
Naturally I am probably not the only person annoyed by the use of the derogatory term "Sci fi" to refer to the works of authors of the calibre of Leiber or Reynolds. In the future please reserve this insult for things like "Space Vampires from Outer Space" or "Plan 9 from Outer Space".
Sci-fi is literally just short for science fiction. It's not an insult by any stretch of the imagination. That's like the pretentious turds who call movies "films" Nobody cares. It's just you getting high off of huffing your own farts.
from Wikipedia; the first known use in print was a description of Donovan's Brain by movie critic Jesse Zunser in January 1954.[13] As science fiction entered popular culture, writers and fans active in the field came to associate the term with low-budget, low-tech "B-movies" and with low-quality pulp science fiction.[14][15][16] By the 1970s, critics within the field, such as Damon Knight and Terry Carr, were using "sci fi" to distinguish hack-work from serious science fiction.[
