Whut. Um. Isn't the whole point of science fiction and fantasy that they're...er...not real? Or hell, any fiction! It is, by definition, NOT REAL FFS, as in no actual people, animals, or space creatures were harmed in the writing of this book! Zee mind, she boggles! And also....wtf? Clearly I have a deep misunderstanding of literature and writing in general, because I always figured that if an author is able to convincingly write characters that are completely unlike him\herself and have different life experience, it means the author is, you know, good at what they do. Silly me! Guess it just means that every single author in the horror, crime, and mystery genres are raging assholes IRL, along with a ton of authors in the SciFi genre, and let's not forget those horrible people who write episodes of cop shows! I can't even with this.
