What's with modern SF writers and sufficiently advanced aliens?

Ok, you're using bait syntax; you're clearly trying to shitpost. Your mistake was that you weren't clear enough about what you're pretending to hate.

>star gods eating the stars
sounds like a great setting, A++
Isaiah Ortiz
What setting are you talking about?
Good taste in books.

It still hurts. Act 6 onwards was a complete trainwreck
Jaxon Nelson
What book? i really like the ancient cosmic evil trope.
Andrew Phillips
I think that OP's talking about "Awake In The Night Land", a book of short stories by John C. Wright set in the world of William Hope Hodgson's "The Night Land", a book that I really need to get back to reading.

Jaxson Diaz
Wait, are you telling me there's people writing "sequels" to the Night Land? What the fuck.

>You will never play in a Problem Sleuth game
Adam Reed
Sequels and prequels, to be exact. The Night Land's extended universe is something.
Julian Ortiz
Fucking shit. Are they as terrible as I imagine them to be?
Parker Long
We can't tell what you imagine
Nathan Green
You'd make a great comedian, user.
How bad are they?
Camden Hall
As far as glorified fanfic goes the stuff on that site is actually not that bad.
Jaxon Fisher
So avoid, and spend my time on the zillion of good speculative fiction novels that I haven't read yet.

>Problem Sleuth is great
>Homestuck is fucking terrible
How did this come to pass?
Dominic Brown
The fandom grew too big and Hussie was easily influenced by them
Ian Cooper
Came here to post this. Star Wars is the poster child of retarded fan interpretations. Fucking forty years of people building on misunderstandings built on misunderstandings. The only person better at ruining Star Wars than Star Wars fans was George himself.
Andrew Wood
Problem Sleuth was a game with only loose outlines of characters driven by player input.
Homestuck was a grand narrative with obtuse timetravel shenanigans, well defined characters, and an intentionally convoluted narrative.
