Roll For Novel got a bunch of downloads recently and I was wondering why…
Someone wrote an article and featured my game? Roll For Novel is in a list with Thirsty Sword Lesbians!? 😲😲😲
I am still in shock 👁👁💦
anyways here's the link to the article: Bookish TTRPGs
and the link to my game: Roll For Novel
Put out by big publishers like Tor and smaller ones like Neon Hemlock, speculative novellas are seeing a resurgence in popularity.
“Typical novel length has fluctuated over the years, particularly in literary genres. So many classic adult novels of our youth are just beyond novella range. So it makes sense that we’re sometimes seeing that standard length boundary shift with novels that have a literary hybrid quality, like Karin Tidbeck’s Amatka or Jeff Vandermeer’s Annihilation. Ebooks certainly seem to have contributed a new appreciation for the novella, possibly by them appearing more commonly side by side with novels. Books that can be read in one sitting feel especially welcome during the pandemic as well; I know that’s true for myself at least.”

Book Riot gets it!
Just finished reading 'A Deadly Education' by Naomi Novick and l o v e d it.
I'm extremely interested in the choices of names in this book!
Galadriel - I don't know enough about Tolkien to deconstruct the name 'Galadriel' - apart from the idea i got from the movies that she has access to excessive power and struggles not to use it.
Orion - Orion is the hunter, out to kill all of the critters. Seeeeeeems pretty indicative. I don't like the theory floated thay Orion is a construct, but I do think his powerful parents fucked with him using magic. The word lake has etymology that involves translates the concept of an empty basin to be filled, which is interesting.
Liu - the only legit ish translation I found was 'killer', and it was on a pretty white/western site, so not particularly reliable. But it's interesting given her role as a maleficer.
Aadhya - verrry interesting. traslations seem to revolve around concepts of being the best, the whole world, another name for a goddess ... Aadhya was the only person to figure out who took care of the Maw Mouth, she's extremely well connected.
Jack - this one is too easy. Jack the ripper, spring heeled jack, etc. Edit: Jack's last name is westing, which is a nautical term meaning traveling west. choosing to interpret this as the west (US, NYC specifically being evil as he is evil, wanting El to give into her dark side thw way Jack does)
magnus - the great, the best, the leader. he does seem to be the leader of the NY kids.
chloe - young, green. meaning green as in a green shoot, but to me seems like a play on her naivete.
gwen - holy woman, blessed woman
ophelia Rhys Lake - heaning 'help'. well, ophelia drowned herself in a lake, so there's that. and Rhys is a welsh name.
I'm aware of the discourse. I tend to personally agree with Namera Tanjeem's take on it (article on bookriot).
It's kind of dumb that most posts online about it are copy and pastes of the same criticism from a handful of individuals, being shared without the poster necessarily having read the book. Edit: this does not mean that i think the original posters of those sentiments have dumb opinions of course - i always think individual critique should be voiced. i think it's impossible for positive change to happen without people speaking up.
I also tend to find that some of the criticism may be rooted in the conflation that some readers have in confusing the voice of a character with that of an author.
We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all of the power we need inside ourselves already...Leos are known for being dramatic entertainers, cocksure, charismatic, and for doing what feels right for them. That kind of energy makes them unforgettable as writers, most of them live in a state of mind which is free from doubt. So they create a plethora of iconic books, characters, and quotes. Fiercely intellectual, for them, writing is their platform to voice their philosophies about the world. Reading them makes us want to jump in their fantastic stories, making us believe we are invincible just like their larger-than-life characters. “It is our choices...that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.” J.K. Rowling “All generalizations are dangerous, even this one.” Alexander Dumas “I'm aware of the mystery around us, so I write about coincidences, premonitions, emotions, dreams, the power of nature, magic.” Isabel Allende No necesitamos magia para transformar nuestro mundo. Ya llevamos todo el poder que necesitamos dentro de nosotros mismos ... Los Leos son conocidos por ser artistas dramáticos, algo engreídos, carismáticos y por hacer lo que para ellos se siente bien. Ese tipo de energía los hace inolvidables como escritores, la mayoría vive en un estado de ánimo libre de dudas. Así que crean una plétora de libros, personajes y citas icónicos. Ferozmente intelectuales, para ellos, la escritura es su plataforma para expresar sus filosofías sobre el mundo. Al leerlos nos dan ganas de sumergirnos en sus historias fantásticas, haciéndonos creer que somos invencibles al igual que sus personajes más grandes que la vida. "Son nuestras elecciones ... las que muestran lo que realmente somos, mucho más que nuestras habilidades". J.K. Rowling "Todas las generalizaciones son peligrosas, incluso esta". Alejandro Dumas “Soy consciente del misterio que nos rodea, así que escribo sobre coincidencias, premoniciones, emociones, sueños, el poder de la naturaleza, la magia”.
