Found a new cool author.

I dunno, when such "daring prose" translates into real-world as the whole Requires Hate/Winterfox scandal, a careful evaluation is needed before diving in.

Edit: Decided to provide some links to such, for folks not in the know. Here is a SFWA summary of some recent Requires Hate stuff, and a broader overview of some of the situation and ramifications of the whole affair.

Well, for better or for worse, I'm still inclined to segregate works of the art from the artist and evaluate them (as best I can) separately.

That said, and having only had a quick skim, for the second time today, I'm forced to say: fascinating!

Some degree of evaluating work on its own merit is vitally important, I think: especially with the whole issue of authorial intent vs reader experience of the work, etc, in addition to how it's relevant to this particular scenario.

Still, I'm hesitant to buy the works of an author who has been engaged in long-term crappy behavior including up to quite recently, for all that they claim to have changed, or to want to change. They might well write some really compelling and interesting stuff--but to buy their work is to tacitly support and reward their behavior.

It's a knotty issue, certainly, and there are all sorts of valid personal interpretations of such situations.

In the shadow of machine-gods I tell wayfarers of a time where my people was a nightmare the color of hemorrhage and glinting teeth.

The hard times of a troll must be hard indeed.

Y'all need to let the saviour into your lives.

Spoiler: Cegorach, that is. Much more enchanting than old misery-guts Commander Kurze.

Still, as I said before - fascinating.

Erm... that should be "my people were", surely? Nice image, mind you...

[David Earle]

Yes, it should be "were". That was the first sentence in Courtship in the Country of Machine-Gods, and it's what the "Nope" button was made for.
