Please remember that Sunday is the first day of the Oxford Week, so please check the dates below if you are unsure.
| 15 Jan | Sunday | 1st Week | Jesus | Plans + Werewolf | We will start by discussing our plans for the coming term, followed by a game or two of Werewolf. Werewolf is a party game about finding a murderous traitor among our number. We have our own version of the rules, carefully honed over many years. |
| 22 Jan | Sunday | 2nd Week | Jesus | Discussion |
Collaborative storytelling discussion, Tentacular Vikings
takes a theme and runs with it as we all work together to write a story.
Last term's epic documented a miners' strike on the surface of the sun.
Previous stories have involved
Boom Sticks,
the real reason the world ended in 2012,
the St Giles' Fair's role in keeping freshers
from disappearing into parallel dimensions,
and finally an explanation for why we keep crashing on that dratted desert planet.
Oh yes, and tentacular Vikings. |
| 29 Jan | Sunday | 3rd Week | Jesus | Discussion | Do non-standard media allow for novel ways for telling speculative stories? |
| 5 Feb | Sunday | 4th Week | Jesus | Discussion | Create a game. We will design a game and play it. |
| 12 Feb | Sunday | 5th Week | Jesus | Discussion | World-building discussion, led by Rory. |
| 19 Feb | Sunday | 6th Week | Jesus | Discussion | For this week we hope to be discussing the intersection of Horror and SF&F. |
| 26 Feb | Sunday | 7th Week | Jesus | Discussion | This week Paulina will be running a discussion on bizarre fiction. Can you write a story by making up random ridiculous ideas and stitching them together? Or just make it appear that way? Moreover, what if it was actually scary? We'll talk about bizarre literature (with examples), and related horror and ask - how seemingly random can a story be to still make sense (or does it even have to?) |
| 5 Mar | Sunday | 8th Week | Jesus | AGM + Werewolf |
Annual General Meeting, at which we elect next term's committee and
have the opportunity to subject the |
| 9 Mar | Thursday | 8th Week |
CANCELLED!
Due to scheduling conflicts and a lack of enthusiasm, we have decided to cancel the Oxford Geek Quiz this term.
We are going to attempt to run it next term instead, the provisional date for which is Sunday 5th week (21st May). |
