The Bush League Critic

Leo Grin (over at Big Hollywood) doesn't care for "gritty" fantasy. So he wrote an article. In that article, he stuck his nondescript, attention-whore thumb into modern fantasy's pie and pulled out a fat, juicy, "look at me" plum. Bankrupt nihilism indeed. Maligned popular new fantasy authors, misinterpreted (and badly represented)  classics.... Oh  MY!

The response?  "This. Must. Be. Addressed. At once."

Congratulations Mr. Grin, you've got your attention. My take on the whole thing?? Who gives a shit? Authors, please write what interests you... readers, you keep reading what you find interesting. Does anyone know what they call that lovely, rare intersection where those two interests meet and mesh completely?

Magic.
