"Tanith Lee’s influence on contemporary fiction is an often-hidden strand of DNA that connects writers of fantasy, science fiction, romance, horror, and YA. N.K Jemisin, Martha Wells, Holly Black, C.S.E. Cooney, China Miéville, Jo Walton, Theodora Goss, and Terri Windling are just a few of the authors who cite Tanith Lee as deeply influential to their own work, and yet many readers are unfamiliar with Tanith’s fiction."

I just backed...

Post an underrated Guitarist:

Raymond John “East Bay Ray” Pepperell, guitarist for the Dead Kennedys.

Jello got all the attention with his performance. But the band wouldn't have become this band without their guitarist

I kind of miss when Bond movies were completely ridiculous. There would be some woman named Iva Wetpussy, and she'd not wear bottoms the whole movie with no explanation. But we need to make this more inclusive, so there also needs to be a man named Colin Allbutts that wears chaps the whole time, and an Ace named Ima Notinterested, who actually gets all the work done.
