rivers solomon @riverssolomon.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Maddening. I am not at all opposed to another revisioning or adaptation but to act like Wide Sargasso Sea doesn't exist is not only erasure but...the adaptation cannot be credible if you've done that little research to not know about it?? The ignorance?? The arrogance?? 192

rivers solomon @riverssolomon.bsky.social · 07/09/2026It's a stunning first sentence, and it's the long build of it that makes that "thrusting farther and farther into the wilderness" clause really hit. However, the degree to which my children would NOT tolerate this opening is approaching a number that can only be expressed with scientific notation. 010
rivers solomon @riverssolomon.bsky.social · 07/09/2026That's from The Eagle of The Ninth. I recall making a similar lament last year or the year before re: Treasure Island's opening. Ah yes, here's the post - bsky.app/profile/rive... 070
rivers solomon @riverssolomon.bsky.social · 07/09/2026From the Fosseway westward to IscaDumnoniorum the road was simply a British trackway, broadened and roughly metalled, strengthened by corduroys of logs in the softest places, but otherwise unchanged from its old estate, as it wound among the hills, thrusting farther and farther into the wilderness. 3120
rivers solomon @riverssolomon.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Imagine a children's book published today starting thus -- I actually can't post the opening line because the sentence is too long to fit the Bluesky character limit. Am posting below, joining the place name to make it fit, so you can see. 290
rivers solomon @riverssolomon.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Yes, all of this as far as what might be nice to see out of fantasy in the upcoming years, but for me, also: slowness, reduced scale/epicness (without having to make it a particular flavour of "cosy"),academic-level considerations into the worldbuilding especially re: economics. 2335

rivers solomon @riverssolomon.bsky.social · 30/08/2026It's not really about anything other than surviving in unsurvivable circumstances. I suppose it's about stories, too, and how we are all one. I do believe that truly, some days, at least. 1553
