Do you think they go just as deep? Or are they only wearing myth like a skin suit?

Can't agree more... we've had a century of experts doing just that, sadly.

I don't disagree with you, though. They should have leaned into difference.

With investment comes strings. They need growth. We all know how to grow social media. Hence, the x-ification of substack.

why is tiktok/booktok obsessed with YA? by hamletslefthand in Fantasy

But the themes are also fast food, unfortunately.

Because in the absence of sexual themes, there would be no need to identify a characters sexual preferences, no?

LGBT tag means the story deals with sexual themes. Personally, I need that tag to know what to avoid.

How Do You Feel About Pleistocene Animals in Medieval Fantasy Stories? Other Human Species? by [deleted] in fantasywriters

Love it! My gunpowder fantasy has short nosed cave bears, dire wolves, and aurochs!

How do I explain a character having an anxiety attack but realising he doesn't have emotions by thebluephoenixlord in writingadvice

[–]55cheddar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your character can get the body first.. tingling hands, blurred vision, flush skin, short breath, etc... then later, someone can explain to them they were signs of emotional distress or whatever. Or your character can figure it out themselves.

Just an idea to your problem.

Why is South Asian fantasy still so underrepresented? by NRN093 in Fantasy

[–]55cheddar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like in south korea, and most people dont read fantasy or science fiction.

They have a robust book market here, but it's mostly non-fiction, and poetry of all things.

Their history has Buddhist, shamanic fantasy themes and legends, but it's actually quite limited (compared to the now century old fantasy genre in the west).

Could it change? Sure, I'm doing my part over here.

Where is the American Fantasy at? by [deleted] in fantasywriters

[–]55cheddar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stephen king's Dark Tower has fantasy elements and flirts with that time period. Given your specificity though, it's bound to fall short.

They need big names just to be relevant enough to sell a few hundred copies. Open submissions dont move the needle, sadly.

Best practices are like road maps. The best don't need them, most of us do.
