It is again thus strange and somewhat unsettling for the work to be not only read but regarded and recognized. I AM grateful for it. I am just always going to find it disorienting, I think.

So I suppose: if you also find yourself alive, despite yourself, despite everything, Archive is for you too.

I wrote it for me, and I wrote it for my wife, and I wrote it also, I think, for the places my mind had gone while my body was shattered and still somehow breathing. It has been difficult to return to while my body is breaking again.

I did not expect it to be my debut. I hoped, and did not imagine it likely.

I did not expect it to be published by Tordotcom -- or to be edited by Carl Engle-Laird. I thought it worth dreaming about, but thought it fairly outlandish.

On a more personal note: I have always found Archive a tremendously strange book. It also grows, somehow, more personal with the more distance I gain from it. It is carved so deliberately from so many parts of my soul.

So essentially the white censorship committee penalized Chinese fans for existing and discarded all of these votes as illegitimate, which instantly removed all the most popular Chinese writers from contention and allowed for a US-dominated year in standard fashion. They did TWO levels of censorship.

Bringing up the award run by QWOC when the white folks are fucking up feels an awful lot what happens in every other industry when WOC are uplifted and expected to clean up white people’s messes. LD and Suzan deserve better than that. The Ignytes are tremendous enough all on their own.

Sometimes folks run an award that's like a perfect curated list of everything you know you're gonna like!!

What I don't get is, why be such an asshole to folks with predictable and understandable questions? Like, you can totally stick to the script without being a condescending ass about it. Why does condescending assery seem like the way to go?
