Sharing my February Wrap-up: A Month of Reading and Creative Projects itsnotjustfiction.wordpress.com/2024/03/06/feb…

she doesn’t deserve to be harassed but it’s crazy to blame and accuse a 18yo chinese reader and reviewers of color with valid criticism of putting the author “in real danger” for simply sharing negative reviews. they’re not responsible for the harassment other people started

Or perhaps they didn’t want to continuously be hounded by randos 🤷🏻 c’mon now, the whole “someone going priv/blocking ppl means they’re in the wrong!!” is so juvenile

so you mean to tell me that criticism of the book from individuals who have no connection with one another, but are affected by the portrayal of the book are more of a hate campaign than her fans pinging us just to say "u are too sensitive" to our criticism for the 30th time?

so it's not ok that the author is receiving criticism from bipoc reviewers and doxing them but when they try to protect themselves it's ok for you al to harass them?? To the point they have issued statements and gone private??

Wow so the colleagues were jealous and that magically translated into genuine reviewers leaving criticism for the book??? Make it make sense

I’m so removed from booktwt these days but y’all don’t get to attack Thya on my watch. On the one hand, you have someone with actual reading comprehension calling out problematic behavior WHILST defending the author/the book —

I just finished rereading descendant of the crane, one of my favourite fantasies ever and i was looking at my review and NOBODY TOLD ME - nobody told me I spelled caiyan as cassian??? what was i on? what was wrong with me like he's my favourite character, someone just stab me 💀

Happy release day to Icarus!!! (currently reading this book and I'm hooked!!)

I accidentally edited my sign-off graphic block on WP out of existence and now I have to go to every post I've made and re-insert it ajwkdshbcqlwakcswbnasm 😭😭😭

SOUND THE GONG is out today, concluding my reimagining of the epic and brutal war classic that is 三国演义, and I cannot think of a story that I would have wanted to tell across 700pgs more (thread) joanhewrites.com/stg

all im saying is that if this is your vibe, you're going to really like Don't Let The Forest In (oct 29) which is like the codependent queer forest/botanical body horror dark academia fairytale fever dream you never knew you needed

Therapy can only do so much if you’re not able to get your basic needs met. Mental health is affordable housing. Mental health is free healthcare. Mental health is free education. Mental health is food security. Mental health is financial stability. Therapy can’t fix the system.
