Quote from: A.Cow on 10 April, 2024, 12:40:38 PMSurely 95% of the market for Turbo Jones and Loner would be people who already know what Wildcat was? And, given that Wildcat's stories were inter-linked at points, why package them stand-alone?I had the same thought too, but since two already are out, and the remaining three are stalled (or abandoned), my assumption was that they'd decided not to bother with anything more.
Wouldn't there be more sales potential in publishing all the Wildcat stories together, as a full set, split across a couple of volumes?
QuoteWe are getting in touch with you regarding your pre-order of the 40 Years of Scream! collection.
We have been informed that due to ongoing delays to global shipping, we have unfortunately been forced to push back the release date of this title. Both standard and slipcase editions will now ship on or before the 22nd of May.

We greatly appreciate your patience as we work to get this book to your hands, but we believe the wait will be worth it.
Quote from: Funt Solo on 09 April, 2024, 05:51:21 PMI find it easier to navigate this argument when I think of the current debate around trans identity being played out noisily in the media. [snip for brevity!] The thing is, that violence against women by men is very real - and very prolific. So, her hatred is grounded in a lived reality.Again I agree, although I don't really have an opinion on JKR as I've spent almost zero time reading about the matter and I don't think I can judge anything based on the murmurings drifting in on the wind on the rare occasions that I have the metaphorical window open.
Quote from: Funt Solo on 09 April, 2024, 03:23:45 PMI suppose what I'm trying to say is that white and black aren't equal, and because they're not, one can validly complain about the inequality. The phrase "black lives matter" does not mean the same thing as "white lives matter", because of the context we live in.I agree with this. My exasperation comes from how this past inequality is handled now. The past differences are irrelevant to the remedy - or at least to what isn't the remedy. You can't fight bigotry against one group with bigotry against the "opposite" group. Racist aggressions (micro or not) against black people, for example, can't be negated with racism against white people. (And, please, let's not be a group who thinks it's not possible to be racist against white people.) All you end up with is more racism, regardless of the past inequalities between the two groups, and increased us-and-them thinking and 'othering.'
