Nalo Hopkinson's wise and oh-so-wonderful words about being a fan of color in SF/F can be found right here. I definitely encourage you to read and ponder everything she's said.

Also? I am total support of foc_u's Shatter the Silence and I have really been enjoying seeing the many things coming from it, and how right and good it is. This story, entitled "Fairies Come In Brown" is one of my new favorite pieces of literature.

While I am always going to be saddened that Bujold made the comments she did and how it made many people feel, I am very happy about how people responded. It really was humbling to see all the responses of people who did not stand by and let the remarks go unanswered. I definitely am happy about seeing Shatter the Silence, and the people participating in them. I am happy about those who have stood up and said that they are not and will not be invisible ever.
