Sure. And as I said, Dylan already got one... and one Dylan-adjacent.

This intrigues me, because I first think about "indie" with music, then film. In both those settings, I have no issue calling self-produced LPs or films indies.

If anything, those industries have big so-called independent companies/productions that stretch the definition that direction.

I really enjoyed the DFW-style chapter in PISSANTS comprising an obsessive deep dive into Mario Kart N64 speedrunning.

I've had comments from agents and publishers I've submitted to that there's no market for 'post-Praise' style (grunge) fiction... that my work is too 'sport-adjacent' to be of interest.

Maybe that'll change?

Just as important as daring & creative writers are daring & creative agents/publishers.
