KEY UPDATES FROM THE QUEER FANTASY PANEL WITH TAMSYN MUIR AT THE BRITISH LIBRARY
We will find out in Alecto the Ninth whether Kiriona’s chest has teeth or ribs.
She cites Final Fantasy and Animorphs as intros to SFF. On Animorphs: “Nobody’s safe in that book. Everyone’s dead by the end. It was an influence.”
The 1.5 page outline of the Locked Tomb was written in the back of a notebook which Tamsyn was using to teach herself Latin. She has (except for the detail of Gideon being a fireman) followed this guide throughout.
She is still writing Alecto the Ninth. She feels tremendous pressure, primarily from herself, to produce a satisfactory ending.
On Tasha Suri saying she still doesn’t know what Homestuck is after watching a 2 hour video about it: “Neither do I.”
She says she is working through creating the balance between a Catholic worldview and the critique of imperialism. She hopes that the balance will be struck correctly. “I’m kinda worried about being excommunicated. For one scene in particular.”
Hope to post a full transcript tonight or tomorrow.
it’s just so special to me when like a character is a massive loser and yet they get someone who falls head over heels for them. like yeah boy pull some bitches with your weak-ass game and cringefail demeanor
one of my favorite things about gideon is the characterization of “born 2 be jock 😎🔥💪 forced 2 be goth 😔☠️🦴” like quite literally one of the funniest character choices i’ve seen an author make and pull off
