r/fantasy is like the ultimate collection of garbage white cishet dudes who think that peak literature is like. brandon sanderson. i hate that subreddit so much. if it has no haters i'm dead

People on r/fantasy keep asking “Why is modern fantasy all so UNORIGINAL and BORING,” and I immediately assume they must not be reading, say, N.K. Jemisin or Vajra Chandrasekera or Simon Jimenez or Premee Mohamed or anything published by Neon Hemlock, and frankly that sounds like a them problem.

like I truly do not care that he allegedly supports the LGBTQ community - as long as he is giving them a substantial amount of money, he is funding an organization that actively hates them + wants them to be removed from public life

anyway, reminder that Brando Sando is a mormon in good standing aka he tithes 10% of his income to a church that just announced they filed a brief saying that protecting trans rights infringes on their religious freedom ✌️

I'm working on my stats draft of my debut's first year in existence and discovering I am at 193 books sold (which, omfg, how amazing!?!). But also, literally *SEVEN BOOKS* short of that crisp 200.

Think we can get seven orders before October 1st? 👀👀👀
