Every time someone brings up the EA/HPMOR connection is a "there but for the grace of god go I" moment for me. (More accurately "there but for the grace of being too broke and too far away from the epicenter of this plague" but swings and roundabouts)
Also, these people’s central source text, their Bible, is a Harry Potter fanfic, and I am not kidding. These dorkass weirdos are unthinkably wealthy and powerful now. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_P...

Went to my first renaissance faire today with @awkwardresearcher.bsky.social (also first time) and @drhazzard.bsky.social (regular fairhead.) Shit rules. I've been missing out.
"Seneschal of Shattered Tor" is a postcolonial high fantasy about a society trying to Be Better* and the leaders dragging them into the future. I hope you enjoy it! * T&C apply
