All I know is, given that SFF pro/friend cliques are inevitable, we need to aim for chainmail, not polka dots. And right now, I don't think the same old guard of dudes can be trusted to achieve that.

Thank you for this thread. As Rebecca Kuang and Arkady Martine said, the field MUST welcome newcomers more warmly than it has, than it does. I’m glad you found welcome from the women you admired.

I don’t think I ever realized until this thread how much I felt like an outsider to sci-fi, because I’d talk to people who did go to SFF conventions and they seemed to be familiar with so many authors I’d never heard of. It made me feel like a fake sci-fi fan. So ... thank you.

Thanks for this Foz. It’s really hard being new especially when you’re an unknown to people

Thank you for all of this thread, Foz. Idk if you remember, but a few years ago, I (as a brand new editor) quaked in my boots a bit to offer to edit a book for you. Potentially unprofessional of me, but you were kind and gracious about it, which I truly appreciate, even now.

I think if you had been harsh or dismissive in reply, I might have made very different choices. It's years later, but I'm completing my first solo anthology editing project, and that's partly because you, personally, were kind to me and didn't dismiss me when I said I could edit.
