Does anyone read Limyaael's rants?

[Spectrum]

These recent weeks and months I have been reading Limyaael's InsaneJournal. I don't know her, just found her by googling, but she is a reader and writer of fantasy fiction, and a very opinionated one.

She has written a great number of "rants" on the subject, all full of good ideas for writers: Discussion of clichés, annoyances and other things to watch out for. I have found them quite useful. Some of you might find them useful, too.

Take, for example, her category of rants on worldbuilding and culture (just one of many categories). Lots of interesting stuff.

Check it out if you want.

I've just read lots of them, and I really enjoyed them. As a side effect, I think I might have learnt a thing or two as well. Good find!

Yep, quite interesting, and inspiring in places.

Funny enough I was reading some of the rants (Rant on character flaws, Battle rant and Change in Societies rant) before coming onto this site!

They've been really helpful to me since I got back into writing

I've only read a few, but they seem quite interesting and thoughtful stuff. Thanks for flagging this site up.

Yes, although it does beat the feminist drum pretty loudly and incessantly, it argues the case for new viewpoints in fantasy very clearly. To my mind that's something the genre needs.

I thought they were very useful, gave me some good ideas too, plus, I now know how to avoid some of those pesky cliches

Does anyone know of other, similar sources of snarky criticism of the fantasy genre?
