I'm sorry, I know this is unrelated to the actual secret itself - but how does anyone eat a burger like that? Do you eat it layer by layer or try to eat it like a snake with an unhinged jaw?

[(Anonymous)]

With a very firm grip. All these multi level burgers smoosh down real good.

[(Anonymous)]

Yep. I have a tiny-ass mouth but I can still easily eat them once I've squished them down.

[greghousesgf]

with a knife and fork.

[(Anonymous)]

Heresy! Burn the heretic!!

[(Anonymous)]

He's a witch!

[greghousesgf]

you can call me a witch but don't misgender me. The gf stands for girlfriend.

[(Anonymous)]

What are you, French?

[(Anonymous)]

HEATHEN!

I wanna know how anyone actually finishes it in one setting. I think I might get through a quarter of it before being stuffed.

[(Anonymous)]

I do love my discworld group! After all this time, we still find things to talk about. (though, of course, we wind up talking about quite a lot of other things as well)

[(Anonymous)]

I always feel like the best fandoms are the ones where the source actually skimps on the info. Leaves all those fun gaps to fill with a million different theories and discussion topics!

[(Anonymous)]

Appeal to the common denominator. We're in a literacy crisis and authors are writing to follow suit.

[(Anonymous)]

I think it depends on the author. While reading The Kiss Quotient (by Helen Hoang), I've found that the character and setting development has been solid. Autistic characters, in particular, are developed in ways that go beyond stereotypes.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, yeah? Not every author is going to do every trend, but it is a trend. Saying "Authors are doing this" is known to be a shorthand for "trend". No one says that and means Every. Single. Author. On. Earth.

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT

I'd wager that the commenter's use of just "authors" instead of something like "many authors" Can be seen as making a blanket statement about all or the vast majority of authors (especially in genre works).

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know. I've read a lot of shitty books from the past and I don't think they were really better than the typical shitty books of today.

I think there are two things that are really different. One, I think that people didn't really talk as much about generic crappy pulp 40 years ago or 60 years ago or 90 years ago, whereas today there's this whole new medium of communication where people talk loudly about it. I think this is basically a result of fandom culture becoming mainstream in a way that it historically was not at all. And two, I think high culture and high-end-middlebrow culture has generally collapsed in society over recent decades. But that's not really a literacy issue because it's shown up in tons of mediums. That's a broader cultural trend.

[(Anonymous)]

Just a weird secret.

Why is it exclusively about book fandoms? And haven't loads and loads and loads of fandoms always been based on things that are extremely thin gruel comparatively speaking? That's why they often don't endure. And third, TLT.

[(Anonymous)]

Not all stuff needs deeper metaphors, though? I feel like that's part of the problem with fandom these days - they expect everything to have some sort of deeper meaning when sometimes stuff is just shallow and that's okay!

[(Anonymous)]

We keep having these secrets that criticize "fantasy" (Books? The Genre in general?) and then the last sentence goes "But Pratchett (fandom) never had this problem)... It's starting to feel more like "my fandom is superior" secrets than anything.

[(Anonymous)]

Pratchett fandom was superior.

[(Anonymous)]

LMAO it has the same problems as every other fucking fandom

Is the February thing an in-joke?

[(Anonymous)]

I am (obviously) not in Pratchett fandom and was wondering about the "except in February" thing

Re: Is the February thing an in-joke?

[(Anonymous)]

I own pretty much all of Pratchett's books and reread them often, but was never in the fandom so idk. I don't remember if new books were released in March every year, maybe? So people were snippy because they'd run out of stuff to analyze from the previous year?

Or maybe it was something else idk.
