I perceive fantasy and s.f. fandom as overly focused on the creation of alternate worlds. Like, these elaborately detailed fictional settings, existing almost for their own sake. (In RPGs, this manifests as "world-building," "canon," and giant campaign sourcebooks.) I don't think every work has to be all about a world. A lot of them set their sights on something else: a moment, an emotion, a person, an idea.

Also, hi. (Just for the record: I can't say I know Ben, just some of his work. He most certainly doesn't know me.)
