| Re: Mundane?
I think it is all, yet again, that portion of the SFF world ashamed of what they do, ashamed of their genre, and who want recognition from the 'mainstream'. Puleease, I don't do that squids in space nonesense, please please notice me, please take me seriously. I've seen far too much of it and it makes me weary. Choosing the label 'Mundane' and then making a statement of policy is an attempt to be clever, but it's not, it's being blinded by self-importance to what dragged readers into the SFF world in the first place and it is painfully pretentious. But by all means let them produce their mundane fiction and let the market decide. I'll meanwhile draw up proposals for my fourth three-book contract of exploding spaceships space opera with a major publisher and keep struggling to supply those other publishers who want my stuff because it sells. Ho hum. |
