It has strengthened my will power to not spend money on people that hate me. <br /><br />After 15 years of not reading fiction books, Castalia House and the like have given me a new source of entertainment. It is driving out my desire to watch TV and movies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8736129185935358578.post-28478968771125764412017-04-18T16:44:30.385-07:002017-04-18T16:44:30.385-07:00Castalia House has a comics project in the works.Castalia House has a comics project in the works.Bradford C.

How do we make sure that the money and time being taken from Marvel and DC go to better hands? This isn't about halting the money, but switching the way it flows.<br /><br />For a variety of reasons, I'm outside the culture loop when it comes to what's going on. I'm a prime example of someone who, after being properly warned away from going back to Marvel and DC, need to know "But how do I get my superheroes?" I've already got a lot of recs for My Hero Academia, so I'll probably be checking that out. But are there any smaller pubs that are doing good stuff? What titles should I be checking out? (I'll definitely be looking at the places you rec'd JimFear)<br /><br />The pulprev community is doing a good job for sci-fi/fantasy stories by putting together a list of old stuff to dig through and new stuff is coming out through places like Cirsova and some of the self-pubs. What about superhero comics though?Tomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09871814767313979455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8736129185935358578.post-28427989478705715062017-04-18T12:31:17.588-07:002017-04-18T12:31:17.588-07:00To anticipate some common objections that I've...To anticipate some common objections that I've heard when advising people against giving money to people who hate them:<br /><br />"I don't really want to go, but my wife/girlfriend really wants to see that movie."<br />You must carry a deep and secret resentment for your significant other to expose her to propaganda written by people who hate femininity.<br />If you must see a movie, go to a chick flick, where female characters at least act like women. Your wife/gf will respect you for your leadership.<br /><br />"But, I've been following the series since I was a kid and I just HAVE to see the latest installment, even if it sucks."<br />That's a sign of a severe obsessive disorder, akin to binge-eating cupcakes even when they're moldy or sprinkled with cyanide. Seek treatment.<br /><br />"But, [Author X] still writes for Tor! He's a decent guy, and I want to support him."<br />Tor is, without a doubt, fleecing [Author X]. The best action you can take to support him is to help him escape from his draconian tradpub contract. Bankrupting Tor by totally boycotting them is a good way to do this.Brian Niemeierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15276948258089365826noreply@blogger.com
