Re: Secrets you don't want to make...

There's more sci-fi and fantasy movies, TV and video games than ever before. And that's what people want. They want movies, TV and video games. They only read books because there wasn't enough movies, TV or video games to keep them happy, and now they have stuff that they like better than books.

NAYRT--I can't tell if you're trolling or just generalizing based on your own experience, and despite pining desperately for new Terry Pratchett books and him being alive and writing at all, I don't agree with AYRT that readers are deprived of new fantasy books.

But as someone who can't do videogames and promptly goes fishing for fanfic for films/tv I love because tv and film don't always let viewers see how the characters think from the inside, that's why I still love books. That and clever wordplay and rhetorical devices and metaphors that just don't translate to film, and a little bit stuff that's just not filmable.

AYRT - I prefer books personally, I just think that most people don't.

AYRT—I may be biased, because I've worked at a library for 20+ years, and while physical media (including book) circulation has gone down a bit since I started, ebooks and e-audiobooks have pretty much taken up the slack.

I'd read more books if authors wrote more stories that I'd like to read.

AYRT—such as? Not being snarky btw, just curious.

I dunno, I'm not an author, I don't know how to make the magic words work. I just know that the current crop of SFF works just leaves me cold. They don't grip me. I'm not generally a fan of urban fantasy, I know that, or first person narration, but on the other hand I loved Rivers of London until the copaganda in it got too much so even that is not a hard and fast rule. I just don't get engaged by the protagonists or buy into most of the premises, they seem so flat and boring right now. I'd like some trad fantasy, maybe, though.
