this is arguing with people in the quotes but there's no length a book "should" be. some need to be short. others need to be long. and a long book is not a failure of editing, because the goal of editing is not inherently to make something short
Tell me your most unhinged literary opinion, as a little treat

In case you aren’t aware, any video you see with the label “Sora” is A.I. generated. It’s fake.
Do NOT make or share #AI videos. It contributes to misinformation, and to a larger culture of disrespect for truth and disregard of reality.
Plus it enriches capitalist techbros raping the planet.

Similar to my post about "liberation means even for that annoying guy you hate" - weird art includes art you personally don't get, don't like, wouldn't spend money on, find unsettling. Games you wouldn't play. Books you wouldn't read. Decommercialise your preconceptions of what art deserves to exist
Everyone saying "make weird art!" you better fucking mean it. There better not be an unspoken "but not too weird" tacked on at the end.

I never thought cranberry sauce would hurt me in the ways it has hurt me, but these are dark times. (I just sliced my thumb open on a can of it. Do NOT recommend.)

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 1579: If you’re going to write in any genre (children’s fiction, SFF, romance, etc), you need to read EXTENSIVELY in that genre. You need to read current authors in the genre. You need to know what’s been done; what tropes exist; how the genre has changed.

like there's discussion to be had about adults reading YA, who the age level is marketed to, and about adult publishing leaning into more commercial genre fiction, but just being like "everything that is shallow or commercial we are going to call YA" is ill-informed and lazy

is it not weird that every day there’s a new video of anonymous masked men having the time of their lives beating/shooting/disappearing people and the dem response from the top down is “republicans want to double your health insurance premiums”

There are real conversations to be had about thematic issues with romantasy, what publishers are buying vs what they're rejecting, YA being colonized by NA, etc. But what ends up getting the most marketing, into celebrity book clubs, and on bestsellers lists isn't representative of the whole genre.

They say they want new things in fantasy, then authors from marginalized groups do new things, but they don't like that, they want the new thing to be like the old thing except new.
What they really want is a book to rewind time and make them young again, something no book or anything else can do.

Every time someone gets on Beyonce's internet to whine about adult fantasy by blaming YA, I they should have to read one (1) recently released YA book first.

Nothing like finding a new writer you find insightful and respectful only to find out a few months later that they look down on you because you like cartoons and novels for young people.

Pretty confused by how TRON became a big-budget movie franchise. Was it a bit hit when it came out? No. Did it become a big hit on video/TV? Also no. Do people have fond nostalgic memories of it? Eh kinda but not really. Was it secretly great and critically acclaimed? No again
