Matt Cheney over at the Mumpsimus has a conversation going on about the equation of fantasy fiction with escapism. Join us here.
Other interesting things include, Why Young Women Reject the Lable “Feminist”, some coolish story links at Lithaven, they’re making a live-action movie of Aeon Flux with Charlize Theron and directed by Karyn Kusama (director of Girlfight) (who’da thought?), these fuckers would like you to believe unemployment is down (and yet, nobody says that all those “new” jobs are minimum wage, and several people are working two or three of them just to eat food and live out of their cars), and in other news, I’ve got a three day paid weekend, and will be writing my ass off.
I *will* get this next goddamn set of stories done and in the mail. Goddammit.
