Samuel ProulxA reflection that's vaguely related to another discussion I just had: I wonder if it would be possible to write a <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.interfree.ca/tag/fanfic" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fanfic</a> of <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.interfree.ca/tag/xanth" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Xanth</a> (or any other Piers Anthony book) that re-contextualizes and usefully responds in some way to the yucky themes of pedophilia and misogyny present in those works? I *think* a fix-fic of the mode series maybe? Or a rewrite of the adept series where people behave more realistically? A XANTH <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.interfree.ca/tag/fanfiction" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fanfiction</a> would just devolve into puns; XANTH isn't really trying to say anything anymore, and hasn't been for a long time. I think the thing that appeals to me about Piers Anthony's works to this day is that I still wish I could pretend the world works the way he thinks it does, even though I'm older and wiser and I know that it doesn't. So it could well be that a fic like this would be depressing anti-fun, at least if I wrote it.
Andre Louis<p>Wait, does <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Xanth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Xanth</span></a> not have a 'Discriminate tree?' Haven't quite worked out what it would exactly do, as discriminating against everyone isn't technically discrimination at all but that's surely a pun for the taking.</p>
Regal Coffee Cobra :vOwOfied:<p>Just finished The Light Fantastic and I am now thoroughly enthralled by the series, and Pratchett's writing style.

Samuel Proulx<p>So it’s time to reread <a href="https://equestria.social/tags/discworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>discworld</span></a> for the first time ever since I was a teenager. I normally dislike audiobooks and the first time I read discworld was as ebooks. But the new audio narrations feel worth it. And they’re free to me on CELA so I have nothing to lose. Starting at equal rights because starting at book 1 feels unfair based on my memories of the series. Let’s hope they hold up better than <a href="https://equestria.social/tags/xanth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>xanth</span></a>! <a href="https://equestria.social/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a></p>
