hey old sport u look fresh

Hearing about Book Drama wherein somebody's publisher or whoever pushes to market their book as romantasy because it's #marketable and then romantasy readers read it expecting it to be romantasy and are understandably shocked and confused when it's Not. On like a semi regular basis. And I'm starting to thuink maybe we should aim for people who would "actually want to read it" instead of "demographic that makes the most money for the publisher"

Now, the "falsely advertised not-romantasy book" in question typically also has Other Problems making people Hate It. But. Yknow. Maybe the false advertising set it up for a Not So Good reception. I think we need to start hunting publishers for sport. This is not to say I am fond of Authors. Frankly the written word is of the devil

New question: would it be funny if I started lying about my own work being romantasy. It is sff and technically involves relationships between characters. Scaring the hoes would almost certainly be detrimental to, like, everything. But it might be funny to call it that. Like saying Alien (1979) was a romcom

@little-tiny-raccoon-hands and I have been lying about Rabbit Heart being a "cozy fantasy" and it certainly hasn't hurt our numbers. genre deception is okay when it's funny.

Everyone says @derinthescarletpescatarian 's writings are normal and maybe contain new adults, so it has to be true. Copy|Paste especially should be New Adult (a genre that apparently exists).

Good point! Copy|Paste contains so many new adults!

Lies. I read it and it only contained one adult.

But she was new so many times

Character duo where one *remembers I don’t like fitting characters into trope boxes* is a completely fleshed out and realised person *remembers treating characters as real people and not story devices written with intent is bad* who is written by the author and *remembers death of the author* uh. And *fumbles and drops my pile of queue cards* ah fuck wait no *the menacing horse* what was that.

i wish people would stop romanticizing not eating breakfast and not getting enough sleep and being dependent on coffee to function and always being in a bad mood and treating yourself poorly because that behavior is very unhealthy for you

I should add that I did not see a single other guest the entire time I was there, which intensified the whole vibe.
