I never had an account, I don't think.
I think I did read some fanfic on there.
If you're trying to narrow down where I was writing fanfiction, like it wasn't there.
So yeah, it is an easy conversion when you think about it in terms of raw sales things.
But there's also kind of, when you think about it, there was that sort of era where we were all running and reading fan fiction on the internet and maybe picking up books less.
And I suppose maybe as publishers are picking up more books from the space and the audience is converting, it's also an audience that was reading but not buying books now buying books.
And that's also leading to the sales spike, if that makes sense.
It's tapping into an audience that wasn't buying books
Now they are, the readers are the same, but it's like sales are up.
Yeah.
I think it's handled well, like personally.
I think it's like the story is about Damon realising the issues in his society and realising
It's about him seeing the world in a new perspective and then adapting his own society.
So it almost serves as like, it serves as an extended metaphor really that's not necessarily exactly about slavery.
It's about realising that what you thought is normal and perfectly fine is actually kind of horrendous.
And you could apply that to many, many walks of life in regular society.
And so I think that it's done in a way that
has a lot of nuance and I think it evolves very slowly through the narrative.
But in that three book arc,
I think it's handled really nicely.
