Beyond SciFan's stories are written by our house authors — a stable of voices, each with their own corner of science fantasy. Meet the stable.
Producer & Chief Editor, Beyond SciFan
R.M. Mulder founded SciFan in 2016 and co-edited SciFan Magazine, the 2017 anthology that first flew the science-fantasy banner. He is the author of Conquest: A Dystopian GameLit Saga, and a decade on he still believes the genre he championed then — magic and technology in one coherent world — is the next great country of speculative fiction. As Producer and Chief Editor of Beyond SciFan, he sets the Canon, keeps the wall between science and sorcery exactly as porous as it should be, and writes at the top of the masthead he built.
Kade Thorne writes epic science fantasy with a romantic streak: bonded dragonriders, star-faring knights, and lovers divided by empires that run on both engine and spell. His stories favor big hearts, bigger battles, and magic that always sends a bill. He is a regular contributor to Beyond SciFan.
Sera Larkin writes lyrical science fantasy from the far end of time — dying suns, resurrected machine-gods, and hedge-witches who debug ancient technology with chalk, salt, and patience. Her flash fiction has a habit of ending one sentence after you expected. She contributes regularly to Beyond SciFan.
Quinn Harrow writes the dark end of science fantasy: necromancy with an engineering degree, haunted starships, and resurrections performed under laboratory conditions. Their stories ask what a soul is worth once it can be measured. Quinn is a regular contributor to Beyond SciFan.
Hollis Marek writes hard-edged military science fantasy — void-knights, siege-wizards, and the enlisted ranks who hold the line where the spellfire meets the rail-guns. No destiny, no prophecies: just professionals doing an impossible job. Hollis contributes regularly to Beyond SciFan.
Lucan Breck writes sword-and-planet adventure in the grand pulp tradition: airships over jungle ruins, duels at the edge of dead seas, and sorcerer-kings with orbital artillery. His stories move fast, hit hard, and never apologize for wonder. He contributes regularly to Beyond SciFan.
Owen Tarrow writes warm, ingenious magitech: arcane engineers, unionized golems, and small towns keeping the lights on with equal parts circuitry and cantrip. His science fantasy runs on tea, tolerances, and the radical idea that maintenance is heroism. He contributes regularly to Beyond SciFan.
Merrick Yates writes science-fantasy space opera at fleet scale: battle-mages in pressure suits, admirals who duel with both broadside and binding-circle, and wars decided by whoever's magic recharges first. Big canvases, human stakes. He contributes regularly to Beyond SciFan.
Tobin Hartley writes literary science fantasy in the deep-future register: torturers' guilds aboard generation ships, saints canonized by committee and algorithm, and worlds so old that technology and miracle share a pension. He contributes regularly to Beyond SciFan.
Ansel Grady writes frontier science fantasy — rail lines into dragon country, homesteaders warding their claims against things the survey maps left blank, and lawmen whose six-guns carry one silvered, rune-etched chamber. He contributes regularly to Beyond SciFan.
Sabine Corley writes gothic science fantasy: generation ships with family crypts, AI confessors, and inheritances contested by séance and subpoena alike. Her stories are candlelit, pressurized, and quietly terrified. She contributes regularly to Beyond SciFan.
Skyler Moss writes magic-return science fantasy: the decade after the spells came back, when the power grid failed upward into enchantment and every city had to renegotiate with the dark. Bright-eyed, sharp-edged stories about building the new world. Skyler contributes regularly to Beyond SciFan.
Warren Jessup writes gritty industrial science fantasy: factory thaumaturgy, company towns run by licensed sorcerers, and strikers who learn just enough magic to make it expensive. His worlds smell of coal smoke and ozone. He contributes regularly to Beyond SciFan.
