Hermanos! The devil has built a robot!
Numero Cinco ,'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I wish. Actually, the entire short story, graphic story, pro artist, fanzine, fancast, and related work sections are RP; also all but one of novella, novelette, fan artist, fan writer, and new writer.
My one consolation is that Naomi, Nora, and Ann all made the final list for novels. Go them! And Nnedi Okorafor was nominated for a novella, which is also great.

I've actually read 3 of the Best Novel nominees which is a first for me! The Fifth Season (took me a bit to get into the world building, but it blew my mind!), Uprooted (loved!) and Seveneves (loved the first half, strongly liked the second half).

"Social Justice Warriors Always Lie"? Wtf? How is anyone supposed to take this shit seriously? I mean, really. Ridiculous.

I'm so not involved in that world so this may be a dumb question but "RP"?? Real people? Rotten potatoes?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Rabid Puppies.
As opposed to the Sad Puppies, who started the shenanigans in the first place.

That link goes to an error page, Consuela.

Ah, I'm too far out of the loop to have a chance of understanding what this means. Unless, I'm guessing, I spend some quality time in some dark rabbit holes!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
So what is, exactly, the goal of RP? It isn't clear to me if they are genuine in their reactionary political stance, or just a massive troll campaign. Like meara, whenever I read their stuff, I cannot really buy that they actually believe that crap.

I know, right? But I think they are genuinely angry. Like Trump supporters.
