- The comments on Bradford’s post are a fascinating example of how folks react to the mention of race. It looks like some aren’t responding to her commentary on the movie at all – they’d rather be angry about the mere concept of White Guilt and its possible influence on the psyche of white USians.
- It’s funny that you should feel awkward over the fact that your stories don’t make a point – I often feel uneasy with the fact that mine do. I’ve been wrestling of late with the knowledge that my current project is going to end up a tract on the abuse of the environment in the name of agriculture, and have been contorting the story in every which way to minimize that element. I’ve been reading the classics of SFF of late, and those that make a point – well, I wouldn’t say they lose value because of it, but it adds a strange and dated quality. So: fun stories are good stories. Explorations are good. Adding a ‘point’ wouldn’t make them worth more.
- Meds are great and also they suck. Best of luck with adjustments.
- Ooh, writer talk? You can find me at smw.writes @ gmail, if you'd like.
