Crime News

After a long working day of drive-by shootings, meth cooking and mail fraud, American gang members want to relax. But bygone are the days of dogfights and cockfights. The new generation of criminals hungers for blood: Lit Bloggers fights. Our reporters witnessed it firsthand.

First, two bound and muzzled lit bloggers are put in a state of rage by various comments about YA and thrillers being much more readable than Sad Eastern European men, repeated exposure to book covers that are movie posters of the lesser adaptation, and claims that JKR was the first woman writer.

Driven to bloodlust by these cruel methods, the lit bloggers are then thrown in a pit with a single blackboard in the center. Ensues a brutal fight, often lasting more than two hours. An onslaught of symbolic violence, a salvo of historical re-contextualizations, met by a vicious gnaw of brutal deaths of the author. That's just the first twenty minutes. As the litbloggers grow more crazed, they send one another Andrea Long Chu pieces, categorize their analysis as dogmatically freudian or naively marxist, alternatively deride their opponent's affection for clear stated-out themes and their rejection of the political value of engaging fiction. Grueling stuff. At one point, the reigning champion, a Long-Haired Webweaver, grabs their rival by the throat and delivers the killing blow. "There's no book on your shelves I couldn't find in two minutes at a well-stocked Barnes & Noble. Why don't you migrate to #Booktok ?". The challenger collapses to the floor, defeated at last, in a posture of shame and ignominy.

To add to the brutal horror of these fights, American gang members do not hesitate to finish off with a razor to the throat any litblogger who is unable to quote any scholarly source outside of 20th century french theory. As it stands, the average American university litblogger only has a lifespan of three weeks in the fighting circuit.

most crime procedurals have a kind of low fantasy edge (the fantasy element largely is magical thinking, probablyhas more to do with how all storytelling has— and i do not mean this in a mystically shallow theory of Årt way— some aspect of legend but i feel like calling it low fantasy adjacency is more useful and clear). but if i say any more i will be one mary oliver reblog away from becoming one of those litbloggers who are always saying that storytelling is how we know we’re human and we’re all just stardust staring up at the stars and wondering how we got here and so on

Indie authors: want your book reviewed and boosted?

Well, good news! If you’re an indie publicator and your story has good representation of People of Color, we’re offering to review it and reblog our review to @fandomshatepeopleofcolor (our sister blog with 4 of the same mods).  

Giving recs and discussing different types of media is nothing new for us. We have over 6k followers who trust us, so we’re offering that exposure to those that need it.  All you have to do is email us your ebook at fans.of.color@gmail.com with a short synopsis. If you’d like to see a model review just send us an ask requesting it (off of anonymous). Please, if you decide to send in your story, include how many of your main characters are PoC. If there’s less than 2/5 PoC we won’t be able to review your book here. 

However, our mods from @fandomshatewomen​ could review it if there’s enough women or LGBTQ+ characters. 

We want to be represented fairly, and we deserve to be heard. Helping each other boost our own voices is our first step towards that.

Why Are You Not Reading?

The vast majority of people throughout the United States are unware of how different our country is depending on where it is that you live. It will rarely cross your mind that the people living in the Southwest are not experiencing the same thing as those living in the Midwest, and so-on-and-so-forth, there are, of course similarities, an example of which being McDonaldization and the illusion that efficiency and familiarity establish some deeply-rooted since of comfortability, though this is not entirely true. Yes, regardless, I did laugh at Tom Segura’s joke, “…the worse part, honestly, of traveling in our country is that there’s no surprises. I swear to you, I travel every week, and it’s really a disappointment. Every place is exactly what I thought it was going to be. You know? I can prove it to you. Picture a place you’ve never been to in this country. Picture it. Yup. That’s exactly how it is.” ​…because there is truth to that, it’s those similarities, or differences that we actually think about: I live in Texas, in a little town in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, I grew up here, I moved out of state after high school for ten years, and now I’m back, there are still people who believe that here in Texas we ride our horses to work, and granted in another little town about 40 miles from me called Bandera there is truth to that, but they do not speak for the rest of Texas, however, you would be surprised by how different things actually are. I keep repeating myself, why? Because it’s important for you to understand the differences. When I was living in Salt Lake City I developed a strong craving for Jamba Juice one Sunday afternoon, I drove around for nearly two hours just hoping to find a Jamba Juice that was open on a Sunday. I remember having a conversation with a female friend—or so I thought she was—until I asked her, “So, can men and women be friends?” Her response was, “Yeah, I think so.” I continued with, “What if one of them is married?” To which her response was, “Oh, absolutely not.” The way that people think, what people are interested in, how people express and act on those interests, all of which, and more, differ depending very much on where it is within the United States that you live. I was at the gym last week in the middle of a conversation—which, frankly, I still cannot understand what this friend of mine was thinking approaching me at the gym while I wearing headphones, I honestly don’t care how well I might know you—he asked me about my work, “So you run an online library, right? How’s that going?” I responded with, “Well, it’s a bookstore…you know, and it’s going great…” He looked at me after I corrected him about my business being a bookstore and not a library as if to say, what’s the difference?And there’s a truth to that, in Texas. If you’re even the slightest bibliophile (book person) living wherever it is that you might be living you are probably familiar with Book People in Austin and Larry McMurtry’s bookstore in Archer City, Booked Up, those are the two bookstores to speak of in the state—in the state of Texas! And most Texan’s are not familiar with them, but then again most Texan’s are still under the impression that printed books and bookstores are a thing of the past, most Texan’s are not aware that as of 2012 bookstores, and especially privately owned used bookstores have seen a steady increase both in new stores and sales, and that digital—or eBooks—had leveled out in sales. It’s a result, entirely, of this misconception that though you might drive by (or thru) a number of familiar franchises between here and everywhere else, that everywhere else is not the same. They are not watching the same news stations, they are not hearing—or agreeing—with the same ideals, and I’m not referring to a political agenda, even though our government and media has managed to make everything seem like it’s a political arena in attempt to divide a manipulated American public, bu-bu-buuttt that’s not exactly the point of this blog. I want to talk about books, and about reading, guess what? Reading is alive and well, and you fellow Texan’s I’m not only talking about in “dirty liberal cities” like San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, and New York, small town moderate (left of-, right of center Americans) are tearing through the spines of an increasing number of books and hauling them—after reading—to their local libraries or bookstores (what’s the difference again?) for reselling. Did you know that Half Price Books started in Austin, Texas? HPB is one of the largest book retailers in the country, and, that’s right, it started here in lil ol’ Texas—there are five stores in San Antonio. Just outside of San Antonio in the numerous growing towns such as Boerne, Bandera, Comfort, Kerrville, Fredericksburg, and New Braunfuls the only existing bookstores (that are not specialty stores) exist within the local libraries, which, unfortunately, do not have the means to offer to the town the inventory or the hours that the residents deserve. The main reason for this is the fact that most people in rural Texas do not understand that people still enjoy reading. I know, from a number of perspectives that might sound ludicrous, in the sense that how can a person not know what they like, but that’s not what I’m trying to get across, it’s that you don’t necessarily know what other people like, and individuals, for whatever reason, make the assumption that they are different from everybody else, that our own interests are not shared by the people around us, and it’s that idea exactly that is the catalyst behind the ‘mob mentality’ reaction to—well, now-a-days, to just about everything. Printed books are not going anywhere. And it’s not just about nostalgia, though there is something about holding a book, smelling it, having it resting on our shelves, it’s not entirely about that, and it may not be the most logical understanding, but the simple truth is that the reason books are not going anywhere is because, they are books. The Gutenberg Bible was printed in 1455, that’s more than 560 years ago. Don’t let your misunderstanding of what others may or may not understand affect something that you actually enjoy doing, pick up a book, grab something of your shelf, open the spine, and start reading. Respond to this article, and tell me what you decided to read, and how it made you feel—or visit Communitea Books and share with me a story about a time when you stopped reading, for a while, and came back to it, or tell me about a book you never finished, the one that’ still sitting on the shelf with a bookmark in it.
