There’s been a lot of heated debate in the SFF community of late (Shocking I know) but I’m gonna put it out there, lay it down and damn the twitter-torpedoes: it’s all hand-wavey, glittery, flib-flab hoohah. We all know it. But we’re too scared to say it. The REAL issues, issues that have been chaffing […]
