Give Me Reads
2 years ago
So I'm still punching at writers block. But I think while I do, I should be doing something else
Reading.
I don't read enough because I feel guilty any time I'm not writing so that I end up numbing that time with games or sleep. But people comment on my stuff, so I should comment on other people's stuff.
So, let's have at it. You got reads? Be it yours or some you like from someone else? Link it here. I'll do my best to read and critique!

That said, I really need to get through the journal I'm making on early-ish furry fiction; a lot of the places that I found good stories on are still somewhat up(if not really running). Relics of an arguably better past, but it's fun to dig through. :D
...I reserve a great reservoir of bile for evil versions of Superman- see also Homelander from "The Boys." "Pastiches" of Supes that don't really GET Supes and his role as an aspirational figure. We already HAVE a word for super-powered beings who use their powers to cause harm to others... we call them "SuperVILLAINS." And most superhero "deconstructions" reduce superhero-characters to murderous psychopaths who get away with their crimes thanks to a general public too stupid to realize that "Real Heroes Don't Wear Colorful Undies, Real Heroes Wear Black Leather And Smoke Cigars And Shoot Guns And Swear All The Time! WHO NEEDS TO GROW UP NOW, MOM?"
That's why I love "Injustice Vs. MOTU." It's a crossover whose purpose is to show the edgelords that yes, even something as innately childish as a Barbarian Hero in a fur Speedo that can bench-press a mountain who rides down from the hills on the back of a green tiger to save civilization, only to vanish until he is needed again, can have value as a figure of aspiration.
Even when a small minority of people start loudly declaring "What's the point of all that power if you don't use it to crush your enemies once and for all?", He-Man fights for freedom and the common good... or not at all.
WARNING: This might be too close in genre to your own stories (although slavery is legal in this one). I remember really enjoying it and I still think about it from time to time. I should probably read it again.
