Sooooo.
A little advice.
When you finally get that book deal for your first fantasy novel? I do not advise review-bombing other novelists, 30 at a time, on GoodReads with single-star reviews with legions of sock puppets.

Let’s forget the blatant racism we NEED to address…just for now…and marvel at how this woman’s petty lost her millions and potentially a movie series.

Good advice?
I remember seeing that book getting a little buzz too and being like "I wonder what they had that I didn't..."
I do not want to derail from the seriousness of this conversation but it made me smile; thank you
So many rules to keep track of if you don't want karma to catch up with you being a jerk.
“Mmmhmm”
“Yeah, the one-armed man who ships Star Wars characters…but you can’t meet them. They, uh, have no face? Like a tiger bit it off, yeah, that’s it.”
“Mmmhmmm, oh don’t stop, keep digging”
“Ok, um, and I uh I don’t even know how to internet!”
What was even the plan, the goal, the *horizon* in front of her here?
I can’t even begin to fathom the mental dominos that must have been knocking each other down for her to do this.
One day I want to see a bad person just admit they are a bad person. It would be refreshing.
Just like “Look, I did this because I’m genuinely a shit human. That’s all. Just shit.”
Seems very on trend these days.
super glad we’re finally getting serious journalism that explains what’s going on in social media apps for those of us who can’t do the searches right (i am dead serious. i need this.)
Game of Thrones has nothing on real life hobby/crafting politics.
i’ve watched some. good shit.
like...floating signifiers don't stand-in for anything. like they don't...articulate quality of character and all that. so when bigots use them as shorthand to Other folks and treat them bad they're just being intellectually dishonest insecure weirdos lol
it feels nice to do that.
She failed.
It’s just SO much less effort to simply… NOT be a dick.
this is the wildest thing I’ve ever seen
and now other reylos are coming forward saying she was doing this in fandom on the sly
thinking they could create a fake member to blame proves cait never really understood how tight that group was even though they did write a popular fic in the fandom.
Good thing they kept receipts.
"And Reylo will answer."
You're not in competition with other writers, because genre readers will read other author's books too.
Wait your turn.
OMFG. This is wild. I'd heard this story swirling but didn'trealize who it was about.
She so did this shit. 100%
Also hi.
