Limyaael's Rants

[Brian G Turner]

Toby Frost posted a link in his resources section, but I thought this was too good to leave buried in a thread, so I've set up this one in the Writers Resources board.

Different areas where Limyaael's rants are posted:

Consider the following essays/rants as a decent introduction:

Rant on whores
Class/caste systems
Attitudes towards killing and violence
On using non-Western influence in fantasy
Writing fantasy about oppression

I just read a few, they are excellent. I am also sniggering at how many I used to have before betas here kicked them out of me and wincing at how many I still, maybe, have. I am not the biggest help reader in the world but these are good.

I’ve been looking through these again, and they are extremely good. If you’re writing SFF, they are well worth reading. And they’re free.
