Poor little meow meows (sci-fi & fantasy edition)
Urgently seeking suggestions, any and all input is welcome! A list for men in sci-fi/fantasy who are pathetic, reminiscent of kicked dogs, described as poor little meow meows, drowning in their own emptiness, and/or generally have an intense aura of being a sad loser with no life. Having a capacity to be fixed is entirely optional. If you want to demonstrate why a man is a loser, feel free to do so at great length in the comments so that we all may further our studies in male patheticology.
Non-Humans & Empathy (Fiction, Realistic)
One of several Non-Humans & Empathy -themed lists by @Myth.Ink (See also: Non-Fiction, GNs/Manga+, Youth Titles, Creature Feature, & the Official @Myth.Ink Curation) | This list is the FICTION edition, including fictional interactions and considerations of interactions between plausibly realistic non-human beings of all types (trees, robots, animals, ai, aliens, objects, science-experiment beings, etc) and humans, empathy and lack thereof. | Suggestions more than welcome!
But WAIT. There’s hope. ✨FICTION✨
Straight from the Solarpunk Manifesto, “We are solarpunks because the only other options are denial or despair.”
What if there’s more to our future? What if we were optimistic?
Below are the fiction books that have made it to O.E. Tearmann’s Open List of Positive and Hopeful Futures
I’ll make another list for the nonfiction and for the anthologies. Feel free to suggest any recs!
locked room murder mysteries
i'm on an absolute murder mystery KICK at the moment. having watched the new knives out twice already (mild spoilers ahead) i've been thinking about the subgenre of locked room murder mysteries and decided to compile a list of them!
definition: a locked room mystery involves a seemingly "impossible crime". in these, the murder is committed under circumstances where it appears impossible for the killer to enter and leave the room undetected. and yet it IS possible!

Cool Hard Sci-fi
You understand and respect science, you really do. You appreciate good tech and revile the crap. And you cringe when politicians, news readers, pundits, journalists, even friends, get it wrong.
But damn, you wish you could go faster than light! What can you do?
You can read well-written, cool as hell, hard sci-fi with unbelievable but unforgettable characters.
Here you go. This is a work in progress. Check back for updates as I grow the list.
