SM STIRLING FOUND MY ANALYSIS OF HIS PESHAWAR LANCERS AND WAS VERY UNHAPPY WITH IT.

He's going by joatsimeon. I thought he was just a fan so I entertained him until I followed through to his URL and laughed and laughed. And left his last comment alone.

There should be some sort of score-keeping mechanism for "number of major authors I've honked off" or something like that. ;)

If I had a Facebook that would be my status.

omg that book.
Its existence pushes on me.
Thank you so much for that essay and for reading the damn thing so I don't have to <3

[fantasyecho.livejournal.com]

You're not missing anything. In fact, I think it is a book you would throw across the room.

I would have, but Said my postcolonial squirrel peed on it, saving me the trouble of a dramatic expression of disgust for it =)

[shweta-narayan.livejournal.com]

I've known it was a book that would be massively triggery for me at best, so I haven't read it, but it's always had that "so what is that book" hook into my brain. WELL EXORCISED NOW :D

And yay for Said!

[fantasyecho.livejournal.com]

It kinda pisses me off because it could have been so interesting. But in the end it wasn't. It just didn't push enough. It was lazy through and through. Sadface.

[spacehawk.livejournal.com]

That is one awesome squirrel right there.

[fantasyecho.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I still miss him sometimes.

[tempested-bird.livejournal.com]

G'hehehehehe... Well, that was entertaining.

[fantasyecho.livejournal.com]

It was! I am Famous On The Internet.

[delux-vivens.livejournal.com]

i mean. what. just. what?

[salzara-tirwen.livejournal.com]

I think I... might have tried to read that once? Didn't it have steam-powered airplanes or am I thinking of something else?

[fantasyecho.livejournal.com]

You are thinking of something else. This one's a Still Colonized British India because the Global North has been destroyed by comets.

What's with white straight male authors getting so defensive with their work?

Ugh. Butcher. Now Stirling.

*amused snort*

[fantasyecho.livejournal.com]

Oh but this is a different sort of defensiveness though. Butcher is all IT'S JUST FANTASY and Stirling actually *has a logic* attached to his worldbuilding.

[chelseagirl.livejournal.com]

Wow, he came across as an arrogant git. Um, congratulations?

[fantasyecho.livejournal.com]

From what I hear, that's exactly what he is. I guess knowing that he trawls the Internet defending his work from critics though makes it a bit less special...
