The Judge:

Ernest Hogan, considered the Father of Chicano Science Fiction, has said that“Chicano is a science fiction state of being.” The Extra-Fiction Contest seeks the native/latino fantastic or the fantastic native/latino: brujas, rocket ranflas, vampiros under your bed, what Cucuy knows, mythologies you may chant to yourself, or robo abuelita time machines. It is thematically open season on mutantes and/or human beings.

A six-foot tall Aztec leprechaun, Hogan was born in East L.A. His mother’s name was Garcia, and his parents weren’t aware of Ernest Hogan, the Father of Ragtime. He grew up in West Covina, which he considered one of the most boring places in California. Monster movies, comic books, and science fiction, he says, saved his life. The author of High Aztech, Smoking Mirror Blues, and Cortez on Jupiter, his short fiction has appeared in Amazing Stories, Analog, Science Fiction Age, and many other publications. Recently discovered by academia, his “Chicanonautica Manifesto” appeared in Aztlan: A Journal of Chicano Studies. He blogs at mondoernesto.com and labloga.blogspot.com.
