Currently reading a course on creative writing and worldbuilding as a break from regular courses and this was in the course literature and made me immediately think of the bikers..

Why ‘Uncomfortable’ Books Like ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ Are Precisely the Ones Kids Should be Reading -- We’re not going to learn anything if we skip over important pieces of history and avoid challenging literature merely because it might make people “uncomfortable.”

"Reading and writing train our people for logic, grace and precision of thought, and begin a lifelong study of the exceptional in human existence. I think literature is the history of the soul. Writing should be a journey into worthy perception." Barry Hannah

Discussion

Been getting into Hannah, reading his story collection, Long, Last, Happy. Been doing more reading on him, his techniques and ideas, and thought the sub might appreciate this quote - especially the person that recently posted questioning the value of a degree in Literature. Thoughts on the idea in the quote, or on Hannah and his work?

EDIT: link to the interview from which this quote comes. https://web.archive.org/web/20100307065624/http://www.oxfordamerican.org/articles/2010/mar/02/barry-hannah-19422010/

TIL that Alice Munro, co-founder of a bookstore with her then-husband Jim, started writing after reading some of the store's stock and thinking "I can write better books than this." In 2013, she won the Nobel Prize in Literature.

The dialogue at Clouds is the some of the best writing I've ever experienced in gaming, tv, film, or literature.

Discussion

Currently in my fourth playthrough and it really hit me the first time that V's conversation with Angel/Skye is so beautifully written and some of the most immersive and meaningful dialogue in the game. Thank you devs/writers for this.

Just an appreciation post.

What piece of canon do you dismiss/ignore when writing or reading?

Fic Discussion

It can be big or small but I was wondering what beef with canon y’all have. Personally, I will never personally pronounce Marquis as ‘Mar-kwiss’ because I did not grow up in North America where that is apparently a known pronunciation.

Basically, which pieces of fanon do you prefer over the canon explanation?
