Tor.com Fantasy<\/a>
<\/a>
Promote your Page too<\/a><\/div>\n

Well, it’s official.<\/a> I’ve accepted a gig with Tor.com<\/a> and will now be running their new satellite site called Tor.com Fantasy<\/strong>. It’s located on Facebook<\/a> and twitter (@tordotfantasy)<\/a> and it’s my job to troll the Internet, find all the cool and interesting Fantasy-related shit and write about it. We’re covering it all: books, movies, videogames and anything else that catches our eye. Really, it’s not a whole lot different than what I do now, just with a bigger audience. The goal isn’t to promote just Tor material (in fact, only a small percentage of the content there will be from Tor) but to promote all corners of Fantasy nerdom equally.<\/p>\n

How will things change around here? Well, they won’t really. I’ll still be running A Dribble of Ink<\/strong> as I always have.<\/p>\n

“But Tor’s paying you now!” you might be thinking. Well, yeah… they are. But, I hope I’ve proven in the past three-and-a-half years that I’m an honest, upfront blogger and writer. I hope my integrity’s been established and I’ll continue to run A Dribble of Ink<\/strong> with the same blueprint I’ve always used. I told this to Tor.com when I was offered the job and they replied, “Good! We’d expect no less.” It’s an independent blog and I have complete freedom to run A Dribble of Ink<\/strong> however I like. I wouldn’t be where I was without ruffling a few feathers, right?<\/p>\n

I understand that people might be skeptical when I review Tor material, which is fine. That’s your right and it’s my responsibility to prove otherwise. You might find my reviews of Tor novels (and all<\/em> novels, really) to shift somewhat in style, to a more essay-like analysis of the text, rather than a Red Light\/Green Light style of buying guide, but I hope that my reputation as a reviewer has earned me at least a bit of trust. If not, I’ll start back at the beginning and gain your trust again. The proof, as they say, should be in the pudding.<\/p>\n

It’s going to be a very organic learning experience as we get Tor.com Fantasy<\/a> (and its sister site called Tor.com Steampunk<\/a>) off the ground, so I hope you’ll all join me for the ride. We’ll be doing a ton of cool giveaways and hosting a lot of cool exclusive content.<\/p>\n

Got questions about the job? Ask away. Suggestions about how to make Tor.com Fantasy awesome? Let me know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
