Pulp to Fiction are fully operational

I’m Andy, the author of this blog, would like to welcome you to my world of ‘pulp to fiction’. The definition of this blog’s title was simply something that probably shouldn't be taken too seriously.

You must be wondering why I didn’t use the title ‘Pulp Fiction’? It’s because the blog’s URL is unavailable on Blogger and it’s too closely related to Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 movie with that title.

You see, I Google searched the definition and I got something saying like this;

The term pulp fiction originally referred to "pulp" paper magazines of the late 19th century, such as Weird Tales and The Strand, which featured the work of such prolific literary masters as H.G. Wells (The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds), Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, (The Lost World, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes) J.R.R. Tolkien (Lord of the Rings) and Edgar Rice Burroughs (Tarzan of the Apes). Generally, pulp fiction stories focused on man struggling with dark, powerful and often, evil forces -- both internal and external --beyond his control. By the early and mid-20th century, pulp fiction, with its mix of science fact and speculative fiction, launched a new era and genre of fantasy stories with compelling alternative or parallel realities.

Well, I’m not going to use this blog for literature, reviewing books and magazine. I’ll write about anything that’s cool, funny, sad, what’s happening, sports, etc. Hence, the description ‘Anything goes…’.

Well, thanks for visiting and please bookmark or email me if you want a link exchange.

 

Andy.
