@Jeremy Mesiano-Crookston Hm, networking as flattery doesn't bug me, but the shrieking self-superiority of the author does.

@ontologicalpuppy I forgot that! But yes. Bisexual, and since he was a black robe, oversexed!

@ontologicalpuppy Oooh, gurl. The chaste, yet somehow truly skin-crawling intimated sex scenes were what got me. Dalamar and that warrior lady, and whoever it was fell in love with the shapeshifting silver dragon? Everyone just walk on by, nothing happening in this thread...

A lot of Dungeons and Dragon tie-in novels. Mostly Dragonlance. Some Forgotten Realms. I sometimes think about this, because those didn't "lead" me into higher literature in any traceable way. One day at age 15, I just said, "Alright, time to be a fucking adult," and grabbed the first of the Rabbit tetraology and started reading. I love both of those sets of books, but man, the more I look back on that, the more questions i have.
