@cstross I find that I'm bewildered by all the sub-genres. They seem to come and go with the tides, and the definitions depend on who you're talking to -- but many agents demand that you identify your work according to those hyper-specific classifications.

@cstross I struggle with this. I'm told that my older, white, gay male protagonists are not what the readers want to see, but as I'm not a "feisty young woman coming from a challenging racial, economic, and social history" (plus dragons), I'm not sure how to take that advice.

@ironchamber -- I've been haunted for most of my adult life by "solder." Why the hell isn't that pronounced "soul-dur"? And why didn't anybody tell me it wasn't?

Arkansas, here. I feel your pain! I voted in the Fayetteville Public Library, amid a cluster of non-Trump voters, which eased the pain somewhat. The electoral college has to go.
