I will do it as long as I’m able, and there’s an audience that wants it. I am going to try and make this an annual memorial/tribute to the late great Sir Terry Pratchett. Just not a trend I like in fiction.Welcome to the 2018 Discworld Giveaway!!!!! They aren't scoundrels with a heart of gold who finally realize that they should do a good deed (anti-heroes). It feels like lately the main protagonists in a lot of recent stories are evil and despicable but "do the right thing" for a selfish reason or because of a whim. *Anti-villain is something that my wife and I joke about these days. I am an amateur terrible poet and an amateur photographer. Other things about me: I am a stay at home dad to a cute little girl (toddler) and she is a lot of my life. I read a lot of nearly everything, Fantasy was the first genre I ever read and, even though I am not a huge fan of the anti-hero/"anti-villain"* trend of dark/grimdark of recent years, I still find myself returning to my first love. I'm /u/SageRiBardan and I'm fairly new to the Reddit with mostly a lurker tendency.Īnyway, I am looking for new authors to read and people to discuss them. Maybe you can tell us your reddit id and/or what your looking." Lisa wrote: "For anyone interested in sharing, I thought it might be nice to have a place where we can list out who we are on reddit. And even though you didn't ask here are two recommendations: Chambers' The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet and Fletcher's Beyond Redemption. Schwab, Jim Butcher, Brandon Sanderson, Becky Chambers, and Michael R. Some of my current favorite authors are Neil Gaiman, Ann Leckie, R.A. Most of my "reading" lately is done through audiobooks so please feel free to recommend any that you've particularly enjoyed. I just finished listening to a dramatic re-reading of Richard Howard's Conan short story "The Temple of the Elephant." Today I started N.K. I recently finished Richard Kadrey's Sandman Slim urban fantasy series and enjoyed its pulpy fun before that I bounced between Gene Wolfe, Terry Pratchett, and Guy Gavriel Kay for a bit. I could say I prefer space operas and epic fantasy but the truth is I'll give anything a chance. Feel free to add me: I'm open to discussion about pretty much anything. My academic work deals primarily with medieval British literature (Old English), translation, and critical theory but I'm constantly finding ways to integrate speculative fiction into both my research and teaching. Hi all-I'm /u/nabokovslovechild but I am not very active on the forum yet as I am finishing up my PhD and use my limited free time to read as much sff as possible.
