Where can I learn to be a hack too? I also want to be an extremely successful multi-millionare author with many nubile fans.

>>11900222

Those are the only decent writers in the genre right now.

Buy Stormlight 4

You did the thread too early, it's already gone to shit.

Great job. We're all proud of you.

>>11900222

Checked.

>>11900296
you're just mad you didn't get to post your stupid fucking spam early. you failed at the one thing that gives your life meaning anon, what now?

>>11900280
Daily reminder that Gene Wolfe is still alive.

>>11900307
Halfway through and I still don't get what's supposed to be so great about this book. Boring domestic shit, cucking, obvious and boring war economy/logistics, obvious and cringy morality preaching, and the main character shaping up to be a real neato Mary Sue.

>>11900309
Get a real girlfriend. You're pathetic.

>>11900280
Is it weird that I don't know any of them by their faces even though I've probably read their work? Sanderson is grrum are the only ones I know by face because they get meme'd so much around here.

>>11900317
>real girlfriend
Not worth it.

>>11900316
I'm not as far as you but I feel the same desu. It reads like some wish fulfillment written by a 16 year old. Like Conan meets Name of the Wind.

>>11900342
>Not worth it.
Do you know if they make body pillows with characters from western fantasy? Seems like an untapped market and maybe an additional source of income for some fantasy authors.

>>11900317
Projecting again?

>>11900426
At least I don't get upset because my imaginary girlfriend got mocked.

>>11900428
Couldn't care less git, just funny watching a kissless virgin pretending to be chad.

>>11900329
I only know Rothfuss and GRRM because they both look like fat hobos.

>>11900428
Why are you so obsessed with waifus? You're literally the only one that keeps bringing them up. That other anon is right, you're projecting so hard.

>>11900397
>body pillows
No thanks, I'm not a weeb.

>>11900445
Please, I get more pussy than you because I actually go outside to get it rather than kissing my monitor.

>>11900448
>You're literally the only one that keeps bringing them up.
Like fuck I am. Maybe you missed on Soulcatcher being spammed here for months before I got in on the action? You think that asshole doesn't count? You think that wasn't fucking annoying? I put a new spin on it to have a bit of fun with it and to point out what a pathetic weeb he is, and now I'M the villain?

>>11900450
If you weren't a weeb, you wouldn't be here. Just order your Lady pillow already you disgusting neckbeard.

>>11900455
>Lady
OH NONONONO

>>11900455
I'm sure.

>>11900455
>Please, I get more pussy than you because I actually go outside to get it rather than kissing my monitor.
yikes

jesus christ

>>11900455
You're unhinged lmao

>>11900455
damn soulcatcha anon, you havin a propah meltdown.

Not exactly fantasy but this was pretty great. Nice adventure and great battles.
Is slightly worrying that the protagonist's mother is abusive in all of his other work too.

>>11900498
That's Miles Cameron right? same dude who wrote Traitor Son Cycle.

>>11900461
The Soulatcher pillow would probably roll on top and beat the shit out of you anyway, you weeb weakling.

>>11900465
I'm sure you're sure.

>>11900466
I know it can be daunting to be face to face (well, monitor to monitor) with such a chad as myself, but don't worry, you'll get used to it. ;D

>>11900469
>someone is autist in the most autistic site on the Internet!
Wow, what a shock. I bet you're farther along on the spectrum than me anyway. I mean, you like Soulcatcher, you'd have to be.

>>11900473
I'm pretty well hinged actually, IN UR MOM! XD

>>11900479
Don't mistake me to that turboautist. I hate Soulcatcher and would never spam her in any thread. You insult me by merely insinuating such.

>>11900503
Yea. Now that I think about it, a love interest that rejects the MC is pretty common in his stuff too.
>>11900504
> I hate Soulcatcher and would never spam her in any thread
Drawing red scribbles on your Soulcatcher spam doesn't stop it being Soulcatcher spam.

>>11900510
Haha holy shit, didn't know it was a thing with him, I've only read a couple of his books. Most recently I've read Cold Iron and sure as shit the mc gets rejected in that too.

>>11900510
And he apparently uses the pen name Miles only for his fantasy books.

Ruathain is kinda like General Butt Naked.

>>11900528
Ruathain is such a bro, Meria doesn't deserve him the fuckin cunt.

>>11900455
>>11900504
Come on anon, at least you could post something in high-res while pretending to be a tuff guy on the Internet.

>>11900450
>No thanks, I'm not a weeb.
You are certainly similar to a weeb.

>>11900553
Don't try to copy my style, impostor.

>>11900510
It's anti-Soulcatcher spam, therefore the total opposite, therefore you're a fag.

>realize that my own writing isn't as terrible as I had thought.

I recently read through Perdido Street Station and I fell in love with New Crobuzon. The only other cities I’ve loved as much are Jeff VanderMeer’s Ambergris, and Fallen London.
Are there any other books with cities that capture that same sense of mystical decay? Where the disgusting and horrific are everyday occurrences, and the city’s weird denizens take them in stride.
I’m going to pick up more Miéville and VanderMeer soon, but the only other writer I know of who’s come close is Robert Bennett with his Divine City books.

>>11900732
Viriconium is the gold standard I believe. Very weird stuff.

This seems like a very odd choice for a monthly reading book. It's neither popular nor critically acclaimed, and even the retards at goodreads don't like it.

>>11900544
Does something happen in the later books that makes you say that?

I really like fantasy that plays with dream/fairytail logic, and multiple planes of reality.
Any recs? Bonus points of the mythical creatures are independent of human faith

>>11900908
That's how we roll

>>11900908
I don't think our monthly readings should necessarily be popular or critically acclaimed but I have a hard time understanding why a majority voted for a 450 pages long first part in a series, especially compared to the three other excellent alternatives. But I hope they enjoy reading it anyway and I'll be back next month.

>>11900914
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
Lud-in-the-Mist

>>11900955
Probably because the vote was split on the other three kek

>>11900914
Just about everything by Moorcock.

>>11900914
Chronicles of Amber

>>11900964
You know you can vote for more than one, right?

>>11900914
Iron Dragon's Daughter.

>>11901114

>>11901090
As usual, Russians do the best fantasy art.

>>11901131
Really? People hate those illustrations here and prefer to buy Alan Lee work.

>>11901145
It's hit or miss in face department but the rest looks at least ok.

>>11900732
Would you recommend the Divine Cities stuff?

>>11901033
I forgot just then. Always only vote for one anyway.

>>11900914
The Knight by Gene Wolfe sounds like exactly what you're looking for

>>11901200
I really enjoyed the first two, have yet to pick up the third.
They’re not the best books ever written or anything, but they’re unique, well-written genre fiction.

>>11900310

>>11900280
I want to breed her so badly....

Looking for well-written horror recs with emotionally tortured characters like Silent Hill 2.

>>11900307
I'm asking again. What is the GRI APPROVAL?
Does the protagonist also try to fuck his mother and sister?

>>11901453
She's always happy and smiling in every picture I've seen her but damn if her books aren't full of melancholy and often depressing as fuck. Definitely one of the best living fantasy writers though.

>>11900280
Ummmmmm?

>>11901482
Pick up a Laird Barron collection

>>11901522
So you too wanna use her as a cum dump?

>>11901453
She looks sweet.

>>11900914
Kingkiller chronicles

I've opened a telegram group, if you want: @sciencefiction1

>>11901939
I stopped using telegram because it’s impossible for me to use it and avoid the awkwardness of encountering an online friend group that I alienated myself from but have yet to leave completely.

I’d join a /lit/ discord though.

>>11902028
how is discord different

>>11902065
I don’t have communication with said alienated friend group on Discord

>>11902079
i've quietly alienated myself from many friend groups on discord, it's all the same

>>11902089
Even so, I’ll just stay off Telegramfor the time being. It’s easier that way.

>Monthly Reading for October: Sword in the Storm (The Rigante, #1) by David Gemmell

I've joined the book club. I'm not usually into sword and sorcery, so I guess it's something. I look forward to discussing the book later on.

>>11902259
Welcome to the club. I only wish you could have joined while we were reading something less shit - this will give you a terrible first impression on us.

Stick around, the other stuff is usually better.

>>11902268

I will stick around. I use Goodreads but it's a shit site and I just use it to log my reading now; their recommendations and reading clubs are trash. I hammer through these books on my kindle pretty quickly, so I'll definitely read a few more with you all.

>>11902268
Not him, but I’m glad the general opinion of the book seems to be low; I like the idea of a /sffg/ book club, but I have too many other books I’m trying to read now to pick up another. I’ll probably join in next month.

>>11901453
I heard her characters were gay

>>11901453
>I want to read her so badly....
Fixed

>>11901200
I thoroughly enjoyed them

>>11902371
Ill probably reread the first two and then finally pick up the third. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed them as easy reading, and I crave more of that urban-weird.

>>11900513
Is there also a cold/distant father? I feel like I know Cameron's life story haha.

Amber and Moorcock. Avoid Kingkiller - it's a meme.

>>11902404
Amber.

>>11902404
Amber.

>>11902315
Do I read her body signal to know if it's okay for me to stick it in?

>>11901453
she looks nice and writes a comfy setting but she can't write men for shit

>>11902417
Seeing how few male writers have known how to write women right, I suppose this is only fair.

>>11902404

>>11900914
>dream/fairytail logic, and multiple planes of reality
Wizard-Knight

>>11902422
Yea, but male characters are more important.

>>11902404
Kingkiller isn’t the greatest thing ever, but the hatred of it here is a meme. It’s a neat world, and makes for entertaining easy reading so lon as you go into it knowing the protagonist is a big Mary Sue

>>11902404
Amber
then Strange/Norrell
then Elric

>>11902424

>>11902437
This. It's if nothing else much better than sanderson

>>11902437
>the hatred of it here is a meme
I at least hate it sincerely, if that counts for anything
Last scene I remember reading was when he was cockblocking some dude in a library

>>11902437
I'm still hoping that Kvothe is a huge unreliable narrator and in the third book we find out what really happened.

>>11902437
>hatred is a meme
The author has been delaying for a decade, he has this guy knowingly allow himself to be used by a whore who won't even pity fuck him. Then he has the second book end with more questions than answers, that can't even be tied up in book 3. The hatred of Rothfuss is not a meme. We hate him because he does everything except write.

>>11902437
Even if we disregard the quality of the writing, characters and plot we're talking about an ongoing, unfinished series with two books released in 11 years and no sign of a third book.

>>11901131
>>11901145
those russian pics are pretty bad.

Any of the official Magic the gathering novels good? I still have the Guildpact one lying around.

>>11902508

Don't forget the third book, which is a 10 year anniversary release of the first book that was released last year.
Also don't forget the fourth book, which will be an anniversary edition of the second book that will be published next.

>>11902479
I dropped there too!

>>11902540
>Any of the official Magic the gathering novels good?
Resounding no.

That card's not in Standard.

I wish bro-duo fantasy was still a thing. Is there even any recent fantasy (long or short stories) that feature two bros just bro-ing it up without any faggot shit or bitches coming between them (unless those bitches CUM between them heh heh heh...)?

But check out Burroughs’ first few Barsoom books. Lots of bros fighting and adventuring, especially any time John Carter and Tars Tarkas team up.

>>11902608
And you got 2.

>>11902572
I meant the influx of interest in Mtg due to Arena.
They recently talked about expanding their intertextual storytelling and brand, to raise awareness and increase the amount of good content. Pipe dreams of making Chandra and Liliana household names and such. They even hired the prolific Martha Wells to be the lead writer of Dominaria. So we might eventually see good books set in Magic the Gathering. We'll see.

anyone find this series good?

I read Starship Troopers then Dune and now I want to form a cult and overthrow the government

>>11902704
exactly! there is nothing stronger than love between two male best friends. that's why women immediately see it as sexual, because for them it doesn't get stronger than sexual romantic love (except for maternal love but that's different because it's between a social superior and a dependent social inferior rather than between two roughly equals who rely on each other)

>>11902768
The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress

>>11902768

>>11902768

>>11903151
ye its got some good tunes

>>11903128
>>11903162
I think in general this is the right choice
My favorite books are all first person, but on average I think third person would be better, as most writers will fuck up first person

>>11902468
Except that it's not. And, Sanderson will at least finish his work.....and everyone else's.

I've been away from this thread for a while, are all the Amber recommendations genuine or are people memeing? I honestly cannot tell.

>>11903341
Zelanzy is pretty alright, so I imagine there's an anon or 2 that really like Amber.

Tell me about Malazan, what do you like/hate about it?
I've seen is mentioned often here and I like the premise but 10 books is a big commitment so I want to know more before I get into it.

>>11903341
I haven't read any of his stuff yet, but websites/reviewers/writers I trust have praised his stuff like Lord of Light and Chronicles of Amber (the Corwin Cycle only though).

https://thinfiction.com/stories/13/long-lost-miranda

>>11903165
Look into Laird Barron my dude
Pick up Occultation or The Imago Sequence and you’ll have a pretty good idea from there whether you’ll really be able to get into his writing.

>>11903341
I haven't started Amber yet, but having read Lord of Light, I will. There's an audiobook series read by the author himself - I want to find a download for that.

>>11902437
I hate it in a very sincere way anon.
My hatred for asoiaf and sanderson books is a meme since I know they are not good but I still enjoy them. Rothfuss is 100% a hack.

imagine being named fucking Moorcock

Just finished Blindsight. Liked the aliens, they were interesting and managed to surprise me. The initial introduction of the Rorschach was also very neat, especially the way it parsed language. Took me a bit to get over the style of writing, but once it clicked in my head that the main character is a turbo autist I was able to get over it (maybe until reading the afterword). I didn't mind the vampires in terms of what they represented, but them being referred to as vampires and not some future jargon felt dumb.

>>11904547
You think ANY writer is worth checking out when they say shit like this?

>So if you’re using Cthulhu, are you an H.P. Lovecraft fan?

Oh, hell no.

This is deliberately a chance for me to kind of mess with the Lovecraft legacy. He was a notorious racist and horrible human being. So this is a chance for me to have the “chattering” hordes—that’s what he called the horrifying brown people of New York that terrified him. This is a chance for me to basically have them kick the ass of his creation. So I’m looking forward to having some fun with that.

i don't see anything wrong with that

Finished Dread Empire's Fall, it was decent, thank you anons

Found an absolutely amazing space opera series (Spiral Wars by Joel Shepherd, first book is Renegade) and blasted through it in two days. Very meaty, very delicious. Books are long, aliens are fun, tech is cool, the author sets up a ton of Chekhov's guns and fires them all, and the protags are heroic without being Mary Sues.

A+

I'm almost finished with the second book and holy fuck I hate his guts.

>>11904915
I'm working on my fantasy novel first but will do SF later. I did write a rough draft of 50k-ish SF for nanowrimo.

Please recommend me some dark fantasy, /sffg/
For me Prince of nothing = Malazan>Abercrombie stuff=Black Company>Witcher=Gzhendovich books

>>11905357
Grim Company

>>11903874
You do know we're infested now yes? The burden of catposting all these years is lifted.

Finished the last half of The Wizard yesterday. Two questions, if anyone's read it.
1: Who was the knight with the black dragon at the start? Not Arnthor, right?
2: What's Disiri's part in the whole "story of the womb" that is supposedly going on? I'm not sure I buy the whole "Arthur was never born so that Ben could live" theory, but there's definitely something going on with birth, given the scene in Parka's cave at the start.

>>11905244
If you have an Android tablet, you can get an Amazon app for it that will let you read on there. Personally, I like the Paperwhite.

>>11905357
They’re not amazing, but the Orcs books by Stan Nichols are pretty fun.

apart from the left hand of darkness and the dispossessed, what should I read in the hainish cycle?

What does /sffg/ think of Will Wright? Someone recommended me one of his books series, Cradle, recently.

>>11900910
yeah she turns into even more of a bitch
End of book 1 She sends Ruathain to his death by guilting him by saying "you didn't protect Varrcon at least protect my son Conn."

Book 2 she starts hating Vorna in her old age and alienates her from the village after everything vorna did for her.

>>11905512
Young Adult anime bullshit. It's crap and yes I've tried and dropped it,

And I'm not saying it's crap like all the contrarians here who hate the popular books, no it's unironically genuinely fucking shit.

>>11905181
Lol not even close

>>11905724
>I-I'm not fragile! Shut up!
Look at that rightfag seething.

>>11905512
It’s a lot of fun. His writing and characterizations are surprisingly engaging. Highly recommend

>>11905728
Keep up the projection if it makes you feel better poor thing

I’m thinking about writing an scp. Are there any good ones to look into or are they all just “slender man” type monsters?

>>11905740
There was the one about the living Lego blocks that I remember being rather fun.

>>11904576
Will read

>>11905740
There were a lot of good ones back before it got out of hand. 2008ish was the last time the site was worth visiting though, it’s all just self-insert fanfic at this point.

>>11905515
She didn't. She begged ruathain but didn't guilt trip him over varaconn
Totally rational irrational mother behavior

>>11904948
Fuck it, imma do it. Don't know how much I'll be able to take, though.

>>11905862
>Speak? What do you mean speak? You have to keep him alive, Ru. Once you promised me you would bring my husband back to me. He died. This time must be different. You are the greatest warrior of the Rigante. All men know this. You must protect him, Ru. You must stand beside him. You will do this for me?'

Bruh, she literally does just that.

>>11905157
Is it just me or there's something shady about her winning Hugo award three times in a row?

>>11905923
And you're just figuring that out NOW?
Not just Hugo's btw, Nebula's are also crap now.

>>11905923
you wouldn't say shit if she weren't black woman. Stop being an incel.

>>11905085
The doctor is my favourite character, I think. Pretty much every scene with him is god-tier.

>>11905446
Hey catfag. Did you like those litrpg book I rec'd you a few months ago? That featured the catgirls?

>>11906006
This is why Japan does fantasy better than the West, because they can write a story without it being a political screed.

>>11906017
> they can write a story without it being a political screed.
oh rly?

>>11906030
>Tanks mowing down knights
What else has this?

>>11906030
>Look at this one example, that means that Japanese fantasy stories are completely inundated with political propaganda just like western fantasy stories
Wow great point you really proved me wrong.

>>11906043
Since that was the exact same argument used to somehow prove that all western fantasy is political or SJW because of one example I thought you'd be certain to go for it.

>>11906055
I'm sure you're just as aware as I am of how common this sort of thing is in western fantasy, so there's no need to play dumb.

>>11906070
How about when the Japanese government pays their media creators to make things glorifying birthing and parentage

>>11906055
hah, rekt

>>11906082
Yeah what if they paid people to make media about how good it is to eat food or do other normal human activities?

>>11906092
What if they let media make stuff about whatever they like?

>>11906102
Did they start enforcing plot quotas or something when I wasn't looking?

>>11905737
>o-oh shit i'm mad, better start being condescending!

>>11906017
You're either dumb as fuck or need to absolutely be bludgeoned with a message to even notice it.

>>11906017
>he doesn't know
Anyways, do people post books here or is it all book themed shitposting?

>>11906228
It's all shitposting. We never actually read for shit. Obviously.

>>11906228
Of course we do. It's mostly shit tho.

>>11906237
I read.

>>11906237
fuck you. i've read over 50 books this year, they were mostly shit but i've read them.

>>11906247
>hurr durr my husbando wrote a video game tie-in better read it right away
At least you're not beating around the bush and pretending to be hot shit

>>11905512
Best indie author I've read if you like anything action focused, ignore the tasteless faggot >>11905522 who got lost on his way to outer /lit/.

>>11906262
Oh I am the hottest nigga ever livin'.
There's just no reason to show off here.
Gotta be humble.

>>11906298
Didn't you already get banned and all your posts deleted?

>>11905740
Write about traps instead

>>11906300
No, I haven't been posting all that much with work and real life.
Has something happened?

>>11906303
But traps are gay.

Just read Ball Lightning, it was fantastic. My favorite part was at the end, when Ding Yi is in a relationship with a random dancing girl shortly before, in The Three Body Problem, he is revealed to have been in a long relationship with Yang Dong.

I can't wait for the next Liu Cixin masterpiece

>>11905962
Actually the fact that her books are shit is why it’s shady more than her being an angry black woman with a chip on her shoulder.

>>11906326
And nobody wants gays in their literature. It’s abnormal and amoral

>>11906157
>I’m just going to keep repeating myself like a typical npc

>>11906082
>How about when the Japanese government pays their media creators to make things glorifying birthing and parentage
... so that is why my doujin and hentai always has guys creampieing girls (mostly forceably) and then taking responsibility.. They even have people trying to impregnate tomgirls...
I always wondered why this theme was so universal....
>get pregnant

>>11906481
I fully agree with you anon.

Anyone else hyped for the final book?

You may be the most pathetic troll on 4chan. At least you've achieved something.

I'm glad you recovered from your breakdown anon. I thought you'd be gone for a while after you deleted your posts.

>>11906730

I always miss the interesting shit.

A lot of comments disappeared, the ones not made by him as well but these ones should give you an idea. Basically, he lost his shit when someone made fun of his soulcatcher spam.

You man up anon. You could also hit the gym or equivalent thereof to channel your inner Zyzz.

>>11906790
Damn it. Of course I am always here for reddit rejects spazing and Throne of Glass poster.

>>11906853

Unlike you I am not a fag.

Do you guys think Sarah will be able to outdo the hype with her upcoming adult novel?

Pic unrelated but also a fantastic series from the maker of Throne of Glass.

>>11906909
>>11906898
Trannies fuck off. You will never be real men if you read and post on sffg

>>11906936
shouldn't bait be at the start of the thread?

>>11907008
And also no more often than once per thread.

>>11906986
But I also read Tolstoyevski and shit.

>>11907030
It's a different series tho. I hope there are no more.

It's all so tiresome.

>>11907041
Casw in point. You read, which means you are a women. Study after study has shown that literature is exclusively read by women, which is why sffg is only women. We don't need ftm's shitting up our sacred feminine garden

Does anyone have a copy of Watts' story "Defining an Elephant". It's not on his website, not in either of his collections, and I can't find a download on libgen. It was in "Tales of Wonder - Odyssey" edited by Julie Czerneda.

>>11902437
I disliked the second book a lot, and never seen why people raves so much about the first book, it had a magic sistem than was kinda of neat at least.

>>11903188
Eh, they can be meh for his characters, but Sanderson does interesting world at least. They are bland but not horrifically bad.

>>11907095
Oh anon you just had to go and make it weird.

>>11907136
You're weird

>>11907149
We're all weird.

>>11902437
I would hate it much less if it wasn't for it's popularity. I admit that. It's alright when it comes to writing style and the magic systems but everything else is either crap or mediocre.

>>11902491
This isn't going to change the fact that the first (and apparently the second) book are just him telling stories about how cool he is. It's Unreliable Narrator done badly.

WE'RE UP AND RUNNING AGAIN
