Larry Correia has planted a flag on the mouldering corpse of George R.R. Martin’s literary career. There’s a fisking in the linked article, which involves MSN.com relitigating the whole Sad Puppies/Hugos drama from ten years ago, because they want to sell the narrative that Correia and Martin are rivals, explaining this mockery. Correia fisks the… Read More The Ruins of Westeros
There is an idea running through some forms of Internet Discourse, known as Elite Overproduction. Which is to say, the high emphasis on College and University education has produced more people trained to do Academic Thinking then there are actual jobs requiring such. In the old days, of course, a college degree in English was… Read More The Joylessness of Reading
Occasionally, I check the reports on Kindle Direct Publishing, to see how many copies I have sold of things. This puts me in the group of “Authors who sit in front of their computer, compulsively hitting Refresh over and over to see their Amazon ranking like one of those perpetual motion bird toys. Peck. Peck.… Read More New Versions of Void now Available
I find again on Monster Hunter Nation content worth discussing: I was on another author’s page in a post where they were announcing the release of a new book, and some dude rolled in to whine about how he shouldn’t be writing this new book, but should instead be writing more books in the other… Read More You Don’t Own The Author – The Wages of Fandom
lol. lmao, even. Apparently the Hugos were hosted in China in 2023 and apparently the Chinese government let it be known that certain authors had offended them, and apparently the Hugo committee complied by declaring certain books and authors ineligible to be voted on. There were other shenanigans and frauds and blah blah blah, and… Read More China Ate the Hugos
I’m the sort of guy who likes minimalist covers. A single image, one or three colors, something striking, a bold font. I like seeing those kinds of books. I like buying them. One of the things that hold me off from a lot of Fantasy literature, especially the Pulp kind, is the genre of cover… Read More Cover Aesthetics
Apparently he committed thoughtcrime by criticizing Little Angry Climate Girl, whereupon the usual gang of Two-Minute-Haters jumped up and down, whereupon his most well-known book shot up to #1 on Amazon. Larry Correia has the details. Now, logically speaking, we must stipulate that Correlation is not Causality, so it’s entirely possible that the Legions of Woke… Read More Dan Simmons Demonstrates There’s No Such Thing as Bad Publicity
Is that a Hasty Generalization or a Sweeping one? I lack the data to tell. I also don’t care that it’s illogical. It’s how I feel, therefore it’s true. What am I talking about? This. Long story, short, an author allowed internet bullies who spoke for the “community” to shame her into not publishing her… Read More Anyone Who Refers to Themselves as Representing a “Community” is an Ass
A rare political post that I’m throwing up because it touches upon an area I just finished writing about. Larry Correia takes the world’s dumbest tweet by a Congressman, and drops a hydrogen bomb of truth on it, and makes the rubble bounce. Last week a congressman embarrassed himself on Twitter. He got into a… Read More We Don’t Actually Want Another Civil War
Supplied by no other than Larry Correia. He’s in rare form, beyond calling out the puritanical screeching that has become so obligatory on the Left, he makes this salient point: I often see people describe rags like the New Yorker as “intellectual”, and then they lament how America is “anti-intellectual.” No. America isn’t anti-intellectual. The problem… Read More A Glorious Fisking of the New Yorker’s Chik-Fil-A Snit
