As I start Season 2 of "Based on a True Story" I'm discussing with friends who mostly consume SFF & realizing I crave very different things from SFF vs realistic.
I'm having a hard time articulating the difference, but for those who consume multiple genres, do you find different things in each?

Also hello fellow #dragonage nerds!
I still lack the hardware to run Veilguard (😭) but have been an OG Dragon Age fan since Origins.
I was also a cosplayer for about a decade.

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.

Hi! With new followers recently, I wanted to do an introduction.
I'm Amy, fantasy author. I love everything camp & cheesy 80s fantasy ("Talk to me about Legend/Labyrinth"). I adore all things gothic. Muppets are my jam.
The venn diagram of gothic horror, fairytale, & absurd humor is where I live.

On a random Muppet deep dive tonight and found this sick burn:
"We call this a medium joke, because it's neither rare nor well-done."
And DAMN, Statler and Waldorf, that is COLD. It wasn't even pointed at me and I had to walk that one off a little.
