[mecharose]

For the WIP titles game, can you give a quick summary and genre description for your 3 main projects? (I've followed forever so I'm familiar with them but please help refresh my old tired memory!)

The Clone Story - sci-fi psychological horror. a college student does a wildly unethical cloning experiment on himself, in an abandoned building's basement on campus. told from the POV of one of the clones (who has no name, he's just Clone B)

Escape Train - post-apocalyptic 1980s retrofuturism. the best way I can explain the plot is: it's among us but the impostors don't know the other one is also an impostor and keep sabotaging each other. takes place in a police state on a train (feat. neon 80s bowling alley carpet)

this ask is mad old so I actually don't know what my third main WIP would be that u were referring to? but for the most part, it's these two and then the third 'main project' im working on changes. rn it would be:

the Rando Cinematic Universe™ - a fantasy universe that slowly mutates into an urban fantasy universe, and the fantasy creatures are maddddd as hell that their world has changed. told through an anthology of short stories abt all different characters :)

(if you meant nDOT or Mixtape Ghost or smth, let me know and I can give u a summary of that one too! I have a loooot of projects so I would never blame anyone for not remembering, and I'm more than happy to re-explain XD)

you have to be careful reading too many things that are good/smart/well-written bc then you encounter something that isnt and you get confused like ? why didnt they just make this good ? were they stupid

Putting the term "Catholic guilt" on a high shelf where fandom can't reach it until everyone learns how to identify characters who are very very clearly coded as Protestant.

I’ve been kicking around a thought lately that when it comes to SFF we could probably bypass some of the perennial political vs. apolitical vs. everything-is-political-apolitical-storytelling-doesn’t-exist by instead formulating a spectrum from politically coherent to politically incoherent

Essentially, politically coherent works are works where the political message of the story is supported by all (or at least most) of the major story elements, and a politically incoherent work is a story where the political messages of different elements are seemingly all shooting off on different vectors.

The nice thing about this is it can bypass authorial intent (and the discussion of whether intent matters). This is about the text.

Like, politically incoherent works that had no authorial thought behind them are a dime a dozen of course, and politically coherent works that clearly had a lot of authorial thought are if not equally common than at least easy to spot. But there are also plenty of works that are politically coherent without the author intending them that way—like, whatever faults there are with Project Hail Mary, the overall opinion the book has about the nature of humanity & of science is consistent throughout. Likewise there are stories where the authors clearly meant a coherent political point and totally wiffed it. (The works @specialagentartemis has collectively termed “cozy colonialism” come to mind)

So there’s a utility in replacing the question “is this story political?” (Yes, always, but if the answer is always yes the question becomes kinda useless) with “Is this story politically coherent?” Because a yes or no there will tell a prospective reader something about what to expect.
