Complete side note: I love seeing Ursula K. LeGuinn mentioned when talking about masters of the craft. She’s a god damned genius and the entire reason I got into fantasy, which is the reason I read so much to this day.

To at least pretend to be on topic: a lot of folks, myself especially, missed out on a lot of really cool shit because it was enjoyed by teen girls. I was bad about making fun of those things (I hated anything popular for a long time, especially if it was aimed in that particular direction). Twilight was not for me, but good for her for putting out stuff people enjoyed. Very few people have the honor of doing that and I’m happy for her.
