Orange Cassidy getting his hands stapled into his pockets was hilarious, tho

Fatphobia is not a requirement of sword & sorcery (nor of anything, really)

Proud of my profile of JAS in New Edge Sword & Sorcery #3
35) Jessica Amanda Salmonson deserves more kudos.

As a writer, Salmonson's work is definitely a continuation of the WEIRD TALES tradition, including historical adventure fiction, S&S, horror, weird fiction, & poetry. Sadly, her peak of influence has passed, & not enough people read her now.

The critics will continue to be wrong for years to come, I'll bet, but I can say this: at her best, Gail Simone makes Sonja feel like a real person, an accomplishment I would've otherwise deemed impossible.
34) Gail Simone will probably never be recognized as a great Sword & Sorcery author.

This is not a diss. Simone has written more S&S than a lot of people, and she's done some great writing on the Red Sonja comics in particular. The problem is that S&S comics are still held in low critical regard.

1) More women should write sword & sorcery.

Please, for the love of Crom, save us from the men's rights douchebros that try to turn hardboiled fantasy into some testosterone-driven epic of macho bullshit.

I mean that sincerely, btw. The first @transgressivemetal.bsky.social album came out around the time I started "How Many Deaths Till Vengeance?", and those songs contain the same kind of anger, pain, and polemic I invested in my own work at the time. That's the kind of Transgressive I admire.
If for some reason, I ever say my short fiction is transgressive, please understand: I mean like Transgressive the metal band

For #MuppetMonday, let's have some monster mash (ups)! #1: a Muppet version of the poster for GODZILLA (1956) featuring Gonzo, Camilla and Lenny the Lizard!

The original was drawn in gray tones with mixed media on bristol board. This version features new, digital colors.
