Thanks for the recs! What Comes of Attending the Commoner's Ball is a recent release that I've been looking forward to reading. The author is a friend of mine, and I've heard very good things about the book. I enjoyed a novella she wrote. I haven't read Moonscript for similar reasons. It's too dark for me. But I love the author and her work, all the same. (She's another good friend of mine, as is the author of Illuminare.) I HAVE read Illuminare, and it is phenomenal!! I highly recommend it. It's intriguing adult epic fantasy with a heist story, a brotherly friendship, and a few frenemy relationships. I own it in paperback and ebook, and it's gorgeous.

Heads up for people who like fantasy: There's a two-day sale (12/6 and 12/7) with a whole bunch of free indie ebooks. It's billed as "no-spice fantasy", but in a lot of cases, that just means "the book is focused on things besides romance", which I appreciate because that can be really hard to find in this marketplace.

There are some that look like fluffy tropefests, but also a surprising number of books that I've wanted to read for a while, and several that sound decent-enough to make me go, "Well, for the price of free, I can taste it and throw it away if I have to." It's definitely worth checking out.

Fortnight of Books 2k24

Day 14:

A book you didn’t read this year that will be your #1 priority in 2025? By all rights this ought to be The Enchanted Wood by Ruth Sanderson since I have it out from the library and everything. EDIT: I ended up scrolling my unread kindle books during my lunch break (the only thing surprising about this is that it wasn't tumblr....) and so the first book of 2025 was What Comes of Attending the Commoners Ball (Elisabeth Aimee Brown). (I have now read The Enchanted Wood as well, so, hurrah! progress on that TBR list!)

New book you are most anticipating for 2025? ...oh yeah! Inventing the Renaissance: Myths of a Golden Age (Ada Palmer) is releasing end of March. It sounds interesting. It is also actually happening, unlike, say, Silent Bells... I also thought I'd heard rumors of a sequel to Memories of Ash but when I tried to look it up I found nothing recent.

Noticias de series de la semana: FX y AMC a juicio

Demanda contra AMC por la muerte de Bernecker

Más de seis meses después de la muerte de John Bernecker, su madre ha presentado una demanda culpando a AMC por producir The Walking Dead, como en anteriores temporadas, con "mínimo coste y máximo beneficio". Dice la denuncia que, como último eslabón en la toma de decisiones de producción, son responsables de asegurar las precauciones de seguridad para proteger a sus artistas y que sabían que la grabación de la octava temporada, incluido el séptimo episodio, no estaba siendo ejecutada de forma segura de acuerdo a los estándares de la industria. La cadena comenta que se toma la seguridad de sus empleados en todos sus sets "extremadamente en serio" y que "cumplen o exceden los estándares de seguridad de la industria". La investigación de OSHA concluyó que la escena no se ensayó, que no había ambulancia en el set y que el actor Austin Amelio, que interpreta a Dwight, empujó a Bernecker pese a que se le dijo expresamente que no lo hiciera.

Apoyo a Murphy contra Olivia de Havilland

Olivia de Havilland demandó a Ryan Murphy y FX por su representación en Feud: Bette and Joan y estos presentaron una moción argumentando que la demanda debería ser rechazada bajo el estatuto de California que prohíbe demandas frívolas amparándose en la Primera Enmienda (en resumidas cuentas, libertad de expresión). Estas mociones suelen tener éxito pero la juez Holly Kendig, de la Corte Superior de Los Ángeles, no la consideró oportuna en este caso. Kendig acepta que FX tiene libertad de expresión, aunque se centra en el segundo punto del estatuto, que destacaría los derechos de de Havilland sobre los demandados al presumirse una mínima probabilidad de prevalencia en su testimonio. Ahora, Netflix, The Electronic Frontier Foundation y la MPAA -que incluye a Paramount, Sony, Twentieth Century Fox, Universal, Disney y Warner Bros.- apoyan a Murphy y FX en su intento de apelación. Afirman que el análisis de la Corte es una desviación sin precedentes de décadas de protección a la libertad de expresión y amenaza con condenar géneros enteros de películas basadas en hechos reales como docudramas y biopics. "Los autores, guionistas y directores no pueden contar este tipo de historias si se les requiere presentar cada momento con el cien por cien de exactitud", dice el abogado Mark Kressel en un amicus curiae (una presentación voluntaria de terceros ajenos a un juicio sobre un tema generalmente de interés público) en el que señala que películas como The Post, Molly's Game o I, Tonya, candidatas al Oscar, podrían verse afectadas por esta decisión. MPAA y Netflix aclaran en una nota al pie que no creen que una queja relacionada con un docudrama no pueda estar justificada, sino que, en este caso, de Havilland no puede probar que la representación sea ofensiva o que se haya actuado con malicia. Su principal preocupación es que la juez haya permitido que sobreviva esta demanda. Daniel Nazer, abogado de EFF completa la queja en otro escrito diciendo que "la mera intención de crear un drama realista será suficiente para cancelar su protección en la Primera Enmienda", que "todo el género necesitaría el permiso expreso de todos los sujetos, haciendo imposible completar trabajos como The Social Network o The People v. O.J. Simpson" y que "una amenaza de pleito sería suficiente para disuadir a muchos creadores de finalizar un proyecto". "Si FX hubiera decidido representar a de Havilland como una criatura mitad humano y mitad gusano, Feud estaría protegida por la Primera Enmienda. Pero si, para cumplir los requisitos que aseguran la libertad de expresión, un artista debe convertir a una persona real en un híbrido de humano y gusano, entonces la doctrina subyacente es totalmente errónea". [Fuente] SAG-AFTRA, el sindicato de actores, coincide con EFF en ciertos aspectos pero, aun sosteniendo que no es cuestión de elegir un bando en este caso concreto, opina que la Primera Enmienda no es absoluta y que los cineastas tienen la obligación de hacer un ejercicio de precaución al representar a un individuo vivo para no invadir de forma injustificada sus derechos individuales o deshonrar falsamente su reputación.
