>>24687598what wrong with he head
>>24687598>here's a chapter that plagiarizes Shadow of the Tortuer>here's a chapter that plagiarizes Claw of the Conciliator>here's a paragraph from H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds, I'm sure nobody will notice me taking lines from the most famous sci-fi story of the last century>here's me aping Dan Simmons' "lion and tigers and bears" line that had a thematic connection to Hyperion because of the Keats cybrid but that just comes off as autistic parroting in my bookChristopher Ruocchio is the Quentin Tarantino of sci-fi: he makes collages of other people's work and adds juvenile depictions of violence into it to fill time
>>24688075I think this issue will just continue. Previous scifi and fantasy writers were pulling from their experiences in war, Christianity or religion, and actual literature.It seems to me that we're at a point where modern authors are too downstream, not really impacted or in tune with what inspired the authors they are attempting to mimic, thus a huge loss of authenticity.I don't really know the genre, so I wouldn't doubt I'm off a little bit, but I also don't think I'm entirely wrong on this one.
