#acotar shipwars 🫠

people clinging to sjm's words from interviews that are now three years old or whatever like she didn't just completely rewrite the trajectory of her own novel in a few weeks and publish it regardless lol.

Like... this woman literally said x and x and x will happen in her newest book- not just concepts or themes but actual events and storylines. And in the end she just... didn't?

Does that not tell us all we need to know?

idk just something to consider for those holding a deathgrip on her commentary. What readers should truly be grasping is that SJM herself is a completely unreliable narrator lol.

Okay, so it’s the 6th of June…and nothing from SJM. Am I being obsessive? I’m planning to exit the fandom (only reason I’m in it is due to leaving SF thinking Elriel was a sure thing and then finding out it’s a fucking shipwar 🫠). So I stayed for the past year + just hoping to get some validation for all the drama. Wondering if you have a timeline of “alright it’s def CC next, screw this”.? Everything has been so odd, her previous interviews and her now complete gag order on ACOTAR don’t match but shit, the fandom is hungry. Rant over.

I totally hear you. And it's really annoying and frustrating. Especially when I read authors who put out 2-3 books a year, and whose profiles are always updated and you know what is coming when. So this definitely gets old and also...confusing. Because what are they all trying to do, I am not sure? This whole secrecy is kind of laughable at this point.

I mean, I personally don't particularly care when they'll announce it. I have been waiting for a long time, and I suppose we'll just have to wait longer. I am reading other books, other authors, and I have other things to obsess over :) SJM is just part of my reading universe, and there are better authors that I enjoy more, but I am part of this fandom until the bitter end. It doesn't bother me, even with the shipwar and all the stupid BS that happens here.

But I am sure there are other things that are happening behind the scenes that we arent privy to in the publishing world.

Watching all 3 sides of the fandom say 'i thought it was obvious' in every single post to validate who should kiss actually eats so hard.

im tired.
