can I get a tdlr?

TDLR: There has been much talk recently about the existence of The Sage Space and its many sub-spaces. What is all of this talk about if not the latest in rationalfic's long line of "fun things"? As we have been on and off rationalfic's good side for far too long, we decided it was time to do something about this. And we have some good news.

This is The Fantasy Literature Review, or (as I'll call it) TFLR for short.

TFLR is the rationalfic version of the old SFWA Bulletin of Science Fiction, a periodical that had its heyday in the '60s. As our friend Nostalgebraist says,

"I'm still not over my fondness for Science Fiction magazine… The SFWA Bulletin was the magazine that had the most to do with me. I read it religiously from the moment it started until I dropped it from my hands about five years later. It wasn't just the fiction that stuck with me. It was the letters, the discussions, the weird ideas, the science, the poetry, the good writing, the bad writing (occasionally mixed up together), the ideas that might have made a story, the ideas that made a person, the books I'd read and the movies and the TV shows I'd seen, and yes, even the ads and the reviews, though I never really paid much attention to them."

We, too, can't forget all of this. While we don't have the backing of an established professional organization (or, for that matter, its funding), we intend to live up to rationalfic's ideal: The good should never be hidden away.

TFLR, then, is where you'll get the latest news of rationalfic-related developments, as well as the thoughts and opinions of the group that we've chosen to call "TFLR." You'll see, for example, rationalfic making contact with the world at large, and other exciting and funny stories.

Here's the rationalfic community discussing the different sub-spaces of the rationalfic community, and its various problems and frustrations (from the sage-space

to the dirt-space to TFLR itself, a.k.a. the best of rationalfic). What started as a way to keep in touch with the rationalfic community quickly turned into something more. And now we're here. TFLR is real, and you'll see it starting now.

-

In TFLR, the "Sage" is just a nickname we use for the collective consciousness that is our community. It is the common language and reference point for understanding this group of people. The Sage does not, in fact, do anything. What it is like for any given member of the group is something akin to this:

There is a certain person in the group, and she has the same name and a different voice, and her head is shaped like a heart and her body is all twisted. If you say her name, she will make a sound like this:

#thesis #rude #sage #unrelatable #bad #sad

…And this is the message she receives from you.

(This is very much a joke – we have not had time to come up with a serious name for the Sage. I'm sure you can imagine the possibilities!)

The Sage speaks for herself and for everyone who thinks like her.

"What do you think? Are you feeling the Sage in this thread, or do you think the Sage should come here and do some Sageing of his own? And what does it mean when we see someone with their head shaped like a heart? Could the Sage like the people who like the people who like the people who like their friends? Does that mean she's not a sage? Maybe she likes those people too. Does it mean she's a sage? Maybe those people are too. What's that? The Sage doesn't like that. She's not like that. What would she like to be? Do you think the Sage has a soul? What does the Sage feel? What kind of things are the Sage made of? What is the Sage made of? Does the Sage have thoughts?"

The Sage talks like that because that's what the Sage does.

#thesis #rude #sage #unrelatable #bad

"What about this story? How do you know what a good story is?

🐇Amado mío, que año tan loco nos tocó. Siento tanto y tan grande por usted, insisto en que jamás podría asimilarlo, porque yo apenas si lo hago, pero me hace tan bien. Se me hace un nudo a veces en pensar en cuanto lo amo y me sale llorar, como ha visto, pero es de felicidad, lo juro. Se siente bonito aquí dentro y es gracias a usted. Mi corazón se agita un montón cuando lo veo, cuando está cerca de mí, cuando me besa, abraza y ama. Incluso cuando pienso en usted, lo feliz que me hace tenerle ahí cerquita y me aferro a esos recuerdos mientras espero volver a verlo. Lo ansío tanto. Todo carece de colores y pierde gracia si no puedo compartirlo con mi niño. Sé que todo es mejor con usted al lado, las cosas malas, son meh, las cosas graciosas son más graciosas, las cosas buenas, son alegría pura y las cosas tristes no estan tan mal, al menos estamos juntos para acompañarnos, el resto da igual. No cambiaría por nada del mundo los momentos a su lado, sus miradas y caricias, a veces siento que no viviría sin ellas, las disfruto tanto y las necesito en la distancia, me hace tanta falta y sé que yo a usted igual. No quiero faltarle nunca, quiero que se apoye en mi cuando lo necesite y siempre, porque para eso estoy. El tiempo se supone pasa fugaz, pero no lo suficiente, quiero y espero estar juntos prontito otra vez y congelar el tiempo ahí y aprovechar cada milisegundo en su compañía. Que rápido avanza la vida, que rabia. Lo único que sé, que lo que queda quiero caminarlo junto a usted, quiero seguir viviendo cosas a su lado, me gustaría pensar que el camino que queda es extenso, que seguiremos de la mano. Yo me niego a la idea de hacerlo sin usted, me niego a irme de este mundo sin recibir más caricias y miradas de amor suyas, todas las que pueda darme. Usted no tiene idea cuanto agradezco haber coincidido, no se imagina lo feliz que me hace saber que un año después sigo sintiendo tanto por usted y saber que seguiran expandiéndose estos sentimientos bonitos y profundos. Saber que sigue mirándome con el mismo y más amor y deseo me llena el alma completa. Saber que seguimos amándonos y seguimos siendo nosotros. — #love #couple #bae #planner #tflrs #instachile #ch (en Santiago, Chile) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIPUOcbFd0m/?igshid=1haqhxcfdntkd

Tales From the Leyline Road Dating Simulator, or a Fragged Empire Valentine. Who would you choose? I want to say Laz is probably the safest out of these three assholes but she can see your browsing history, your RAM cache, scrape the hexadecimals off the wire, I don’t know if I could trust someone like that -_- . Not sure how this situation would arise but I think I’ll go to the bathroom
