MojoFiction has a shocking confession to make. We play video games. …Sometimes. Not all the time. Really, we don’t have a problem and we can quit whenever we want. Just let us finish this level first and then we’ll be done. Why are we confessing this marginal sin that only required one Hail Mary and... Continue Reading →
Starship Troopers Flies Once More Unto The Breach (A RiffTrax Event Review)
Ah, the wild days of youth, back when MojoFiction was a teenager and found himself presented with the weekend choice of either being social and meeting girls or hanging out with our equally girlfriend-less male friends and watching MST3K (If you don't know what that is, too bad, we're not explaining it). Looking back, MST3K seemed to win out... Continue Reading →
A LITTLE DISTRACTION FOR YOUR BUSY WORK DAY!
And now, a mindless waste of time. Yesterday, when we were supposed to be working (but we were goofing off instead), the staff here at MojoFiction ran across some interesting quotes across the webiverse and we thought we would throw them out there in the form of a quiz, to see if you pay attention to...

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE’S STAR WARS (A Book Review)
VERILY, A NEW HOPE This is a real book. Seriously. We here at MojoFiction couldn’t believe it either. Shakespeare AND Star Wars together? Break out the paper bags because we’re hyperventilating from too much excitement due to overexposure to a geek fantasy unlike any other. Sci-fi nuts, historians, and your college English professor together in... Continue Reading →
DISC GOLF HERO
We here at MojoFiction decided it was high time we started playing disc golf. We decided it after our brother-in-law wouldn’t quit talking about it and then his wife wouldn’t stop talking about it and since, if you’ve followed the lineage, his wife is MojoFiction’s sister, we had to respond lest we lose another battle...

ST. LOUIS CARDINALS FANS UNLEASH MASTER PLAN VS. CUBS
Anyone familiar with the baseball rivalry between the Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals knows that it’s the greatest rivalry in the history of sports where at least one of the teams constantly sucks. Since it’s baseball, I’m sure there’s a stat about that somewhere. So it’s a decidedly lopsided rivalry, which may be... Continue Reading →
The Girl From I.T. – A Love Story
Okay, so we here at MojoFiction are actually in the midst of writing our second novel and we hope to have it finished … some day. It’s the story of a Chicago girl trying to make her way in the world despite her tendency to get in her own way of doing so, including getting... Continue Reading →
Whisky Magazine Scores One for the Printed Word!
There has been a tennis match going on for some time now between those that think the printed word is dead and those who firmly believe that spending $50 - $200 on a gadget that gives you the privilege of spending more money on something to read is a little wacky. We guess you know what side we're... Continue Reading →
MURDER OF THE CENTURY: A Book Review
Paul Collins’ true-crime novel delivers just what MojoFiction looks for in a book: a really long title. Officially, the title is The Murder of the Century: The Gilded Age Crime that Scandalized a City & Sparked the Tabloid Wars. We were tempted to quit reading right there, since we were so satisfied with the title.... Continue Reading →
A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO CHICAGO (A Reflection on Film Music)
Overnight out here in the Chicagoland area it rained cats and dogs and, we're pretty sure, a few cows and at least one camel. It rained, according to Lionel Richie, all night long. Thankfully, the Metra commuter train system rewarded the folks here at MojoFiction with an extra hour and a half train ride. A nice... Continue Reading →
