Why isn't there a high quality slash fiction about grimdark erotic version of Hogwarts? Like college Hogwarts for example, but not with tongue in cheek humor.

Would there be copyright issues? I've seen LotR parodies all the time.

Well there is a high quality fiction about grimdark Hogwarts. That is college Hogwarts for example.

The Magicians Trilogy by Lev Grossman. It's a tv series ATM.

Hey guys it's my first time posting here and I have a question. What do you guys think about Tom Clancy's novels? Are they worth reading, where should I start, your favorites etc.

Also general political thriller thread

If a mild thriller bogged down with pages upon pages of technical descriptions that border on autistic appeals to you then go for it. Otherwise Clancy's not an excellent use of time.

Packaged fantasy of working for the CIA and being an American James Bond. Basic propaganda sold to fat drooling underachievers to convince them that their spy agencies and war industry is somehow helping keep them safe and not imperial expansionism to ballast a failing economy.

Harder to swallow given modern understanding of that landscape, even for the most basic of plebs. Shut your brain off books, like any other escapist trash.
>>
>>7745698
I enjoyed a lot of them, but leave ample space in between, the technicality can become too dry too often. If you like reading about operators operating in operational environments you will have a pretty okay time.

I have OP, can you say the same?

So I was just reading some of Jefferson and Hamilton's steamy love letters.
Hamilton actually wrote love letters to his wife's sister for a long time.
Wouldn't our founding fathers be mortified if they knew we knew all about their private lives?
Which got me thinking, with the advent of the internet and companies like Google storing everything we do, whether 300 years from now people are just going to have unmitigated access to all our e-mails and search history.
Do you want future generations to know about all that weird porn you torrented and all those drunk facebook messages you sent, anon?

only my vanity objects. It is a good thing that our descendants should know how that we carried also the taint of original sin.

there was some scandal attending the release of the private letters of Philip Larkin, when it was found that in secret he was somewhat of a sour bugger and a racist. But undoubtedly it has done us good to know this, and we can notice something new about his poetry (pointed out by Martin Amis): he was always striving, in his poetry, to raise his mind out of that mire. We have a much better understanding now of the whole man, and the nobility to which he aspired in his immortal verse. And it tends to confirm what Eliot said about poetry being an escape from personality.
