Yeah, fair point. I’ve got to watch Dollhouse and Firefly eventually.

Thanks! A great one is also BookFinder - there are a few versions of it, I know .com and .de and I’m sure there are others.

It’s making me get into book collecting and finding older/out-of-print editions, so at least that is a silver lining.

Hey, I’m just the messenger – blame the publishers. They’ve gotten sloppy, too, have you noticed? I’ve seen major grammatical/continuity errors and typesetting issues, even if the book is from the Big Five – even Tor. It’s disappointing, the ‘enshittification’ is happening before my eyes in real time.

Branch out of American media; European and Asian media have much less tolerance for on-screen hardcore violence. American media freaks out over a nipple in children’s media, but war and graphic fighting are A-OK!

I don’t think you are. The intrusion of “romantasy” is a serious issue with book publishing because they’re chasing what makes the most profits, and right now that’s the trend. No matter that romantasy is not proper fantasy…

I was thinking of some of those too - Buffy, Xena, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, etc., but aren’t those also targeted towards a female demographic?

In terms of practicality, probably UTC+0 since, after hardening my tech, it tends to be my default timezone when I’m browsing the net.
