"The fans" review bombed the sequel to Witchmark before the manuscript was even *finished* because the next book had an F/F romance instead of an M/M and I do not want those "fans."
I like writing romance plots between people. I do not like people telling me what to do.

I also think this is partially why big franchises like Star Wars and Marvel are having such a hard time.
"You need to listen to the fans!"
No, you need to fucking tell your story and make your product and let people take or leave it as they like, while you move on to making the next one.

They're wrong.
What they want is something that makes them *feel as good as the last one*. Can't be the same though. That'd be boring.
My local bookstore seems to be able to get the prints, so I'll get right on that before it becomes even harder
I love so much about that book. SO MUCH. But I keep thinking about how Robin's free democracy "protest" was "Just joking...unless...no wait I'm not fucking joking, let's go have a parliament meeting."
LOOK AT ME
I AM THE PRIME MINISTER NOW
and then she just ... had a meeting! with all the elected people! and started working on issues based on constituent mail all "fuck you; we'll do it, then" and I LOVED it.
