Retellings

[close] NOMINATIONS ARE CLOSED. THANKS TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED!! We're a group building a reliable bookshelf-database of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror books that do NOT mention sexual violence or dubious sexual consent. We're inspired by Sarah Gailey's essay urging authors to "Do Better" https://www.tor.com/2016/08/22/do-better-sexual-violence-in-sff/ Join our long term project by sharing your recent reads in our monthly chat. Once a month we update the bookshelf database but recommendations are welcome everyday of the year!

[close] This global discussion group has been designed to encourage debates about important and underreported issues of our era. All you need is an enquiring mind and a desire to gain or share “underground knowledge”. This is also a place to discuss the controversial topics explored in The Underground Knowledge Series (non-fiction books) by James Morcan & Lance Morcan as well as the Underground Knowledge podcast show.

[close] Ever get the feeling that, as you're reading a book, it somehow doesn't really seem to be that particular book that you were secretly looking for? That underneath the mountain of books you've read, your underlying quest, whether you even knew it or not, was to find a book, or a series of books that truly took your imagination and eloped with it beyond the hills of expectation, leading you by the hand into unchartered realms of pure ecstacy of discovery? I do not promise you that you will find what you seek here, but, if, in your reading journey, you have accumulated a grassland of fertile ideas ricocheting off the insides of your mind, then this is the palce to share them. Originality is not dead, and old, tired genres and character types can be manipulated by those who desire to do so. Perhaps together, we can find that story we have each of us wanted to read, or write.

[close] This group was inspired by another amazing group, Fairy Tale Retellings! In this group we: ~Discuss Fairy Tale Retellings ~Chat ~Play Games ~Host BOTMS and Writing Challenges Hope you enjoy yourself here! ♥️
