    Last thing before I go off Twitter. To address collective questions to me as to why RWA is doing this. 1) Not a member of RWA, so not an expert. 2) Not ALL of RWA is doing "this." A lot of RWA is resigning and protesting. 3) Money. Well, survival, technically, but mostly money.

        Thank you once again to Dr. Bronwyn. Think of RWA as an ecosystem. Authors have learned to survive within this ecosystem. Certain types of romance are popular. Others are not. Most people try to write what is popular, because it's commercial fiction.

        Now we introduce a new type of romance: romance with a woman who is inserting a modern belief system into a historical narrative, romance with a woman who is not white, romance with a woman is an immigrant, or a lesbian, or doesn't want children.

        This romance is slowly growing in popularity. Most authors embrace it, because the field that doesn't grow dies. But some authors view it as threatening their ability to earn money and therefore their survival. They do not know how to cope with changing conditions.

        They write what they always write and suddenly their work, which used to meet all the criteria of the popular romance, is being critically examined and often compared to the new comers. From their point of view, there is more competition for shelf space, awards, and reader money.

        That segment will fight against the change within the ecosystem. They will do it viciously and brutally, because they are convinced that their survival is in doubt. If you read the original complaint with this in mind, you will see it.

        Romance, and fiction in general, is not a zero sum game. The new books are not popular because they are written by some social subset. They are popular because they are GOOD BOOKS that appeal to readers. Because readers see someone like them in the narrative.

        No amount of committees will change this. The preferences of the audience are shifting. They will not regress. So this is why this is so stark. This is why they banned Courtney for life.

        Now, I am just a spectator to this drama, so please follow the people on #IStandWithCourtney and #CourtneyMilan. These are people who are doing courageous things like resigning and fighting. I am going to get off Twitter once again, because I said all I needed to say.
