this in a conversation where i said “labour and no money works but money with no labour gets nothing done” and he called that “idealistic”

lmao

i think contemporary english readers generally do not realize how many of what we today consider classics were originally written for cheap and published in a serialized fashion in some magazine

pulp fiction has always been an industry, and the only reason why china is powering ahead right now is because historic anglosphere publishing corporations are all conservative, racist, and pretentious

what concerns me the most about these new platforms is ⓐ globalization making it difficult for workers to organize, and ⓑ DRM and the complete lack of archival copies for even the most popular and significant works

this is a lie i remember a time i was interviewed

zelda fanfiction writers really need a healthy dose of "if it sucks… hit da bricks"
