    Authors who are asked about their influences and go back hundreds of years to Shakespeare and Chaucer and the Iliad are cowards beneath contempt Authors who openly admit that they're influenced by big pop culture franchises (that might sue them) meet the bare minimum of decency

        Authors who actually name as their influences living people who are less famous/successful than them and could use the boost are braver than the troops and deserve all your support

        See I know JKR is lying when she says shit like how Harry Potter is based on Shakespeare's Macbeth or Austen's Emma but she's never read Jill Murphy's The Worst Witch Based on the simple fact that it's nothing at all like Macbeth or Emma yet extremely similar to The Worst Witch

        I have no influences as a writer, I make all of my work in a total creative vacuum.

        Nice to meet you Mr Goodkind. Oh, wait, no, he's got Ayn Rand.

        I appreciate the classics but I'm not gonna pretend I haven't lived my young life wading through oceans of absolute shit with a huge smile on my face. I am made of trash and it helps me enjoy the classics as "genre fiction"

        Like when you read the Iliad in 2020 your brain makes it into a Hollywood blockbuster and that's ok

        It might be true if they write works of substantial length in verse or obviously steal the plots...I have seen a hilarious movie take on Hamlet that was *kisses hand*

        I have actually read 2 good books obviously influenced by the Iliad in the past few years: Song of Achilles and The Silence of the Girls.

        A favored recent example: Steel Crow Saga references Pokemon and ATLA/K, both the author and promotional material say this with pride.

        there are a TON of excellent things about SCS but “wears its genre influences on its sleeve and feels not an ounce of shame about it” is arguably its best quality
