14/ I've met Larry two or three times. I've sat down and eaten dinner with him. He's he most charming and nice and skilled guy you'd ever want to meet. ...but it's bad for a very wide genre to be split into two halves, and to be simplified into two camps and two totems.
15/ It's not that there's a single thing wrong with Monster Hunter Novels, and mercenaries shooting Cthulhu like creatures with .50 BMGs. ...and there's a hell of a lot right about it. Just as there's nothing wrong with lesbian girl-power vampire hunter fiction from the left.
16/ The problem is that the left consolidated on one side, and took 75% of the market, and the right basically said "oh? well, OK, find, we can do that too!" and gathered all their toys (mostly black pistols and night vision scopes) and rushed off to the other side.
17/ ...and now there is LITTLE LEFT IN THE MIDDLE. Right wing SF is great. Left wing SF is great. ...but the fertile valley in between these two mountain ranges, watered with the run off from each, was better than either.
18/ And that valley is mostly gone now. Ringworld was replaced with Right Wing Space Carrier Fleet New America. Pern was replaced with Feminist Dragon Whisperer (of color, also Muslim). Everything got pulled to the poles.
19/ And that sucks.
20/ The end. ...well, until people start commenting, and I feel the need to reply and thread those replies down here | V
I sure as hell ain't going to question your analsysis. But I do note that all the great stuff that sprung up in the valley is still out there and still great. Do you think there's at all a risk of the great classics of the genre getting overshadowed and/or forgotten?
