solarinterloper asked: (Resubmitted due to connectivity issues) Hello nostalgebraist! I’ve been reading your original work Floornight, and I wanted to say nice job writing it! It manages to be a total mindfuck, but when you look close enough at all the pieces it manages to form an incredible story. However, there are a lot of pieces to look at, which is why I wanted to ask: would you be okay with me posting a comprehensive guide to Floornight on my Tumblr? You would receive full credit and a link to Floornight (1/2)

(Continued from previous) The guide would cover Floornight’s characters, plot, and important concepts, there’d be a link to Floornight at the start, and you would of course receive full credit. Thanks for your consideration!

Sure, sounds really cool!

zzedar asked: I was just reading through your Goodreads reviews, and I was rather perplexed by this line in your review of Nine Princes in Amber: ""it's not clear what differentiates this guy from any of his many siblings, and difficult to care who gets the throne." This is intentional! Corwin, at this point in the series, is amoral and power-hungry; and Zelazny is deliberately trying to convey that the squabbling over the throne is petty and stupid!

A character study of an amoral and power-hungry person could of course have been interesting – but the parts I was complaining about did not serve any character study function.  They were just (lifelessly written) accounts of battles and stuff.
