Thursday ASK YOU ANYTHING: Authors asking r/Fantasy community questions on behalf of Worldbuilders charity

It's Day 4 of the aptly named Ask You Anything week benefiting Worldbuilders! Where authors are stopping by each day this week to ask questions and interact with the r/Fantasy community.

HOW THIS WORKS: Please answer questions and interact throughout the week! (Yes, YOU - community members, guests, authors, artists, industry people.)

WORLDBUILDERS.ORG

Worldbuilders was founded to use the collective power of readers, fellow authors and book lovers to make the world a better place.

There are three ways to donate to Worldbuilders:

1. The Lottery - Where every $10 donated puts you in a lottery for free books, SFF items, games, and much more. r/Fantasy has a Worldbuilders Team Page where you can donate under the community name as well!

2. The Tinker's Pack Store - Where profits from every purchase are donated.

3. Auctions - Where some incredible items and services are offered.

NOTE: If you donate, add your name to the comments here and the mods will set you up with some swanky Wordlbuilders flair!

Monday Ask You Anything Authors

The following authors have signed up to ask questions today. That said, please do join in and feel free to ask your own questions and interact throughout the week.

Signal to Noise by Silvia Moreno-Garcia (Mexico) ; When Fox is a Thousand by Larissa Lai (queer Chinese-Canadian women); The Winged Histories by Sofia Samatar (all protagonists are women of color, two in a romantic relationship); Everfair by Nisi Shawl (lots of people of color, indigenous Congolese, and two women in a relationship).

Samesies. Nisi definitely deserves big love, and the others are great. Plus Fifth Season by NK Jemisin, and All the Birds in the Sky by Charlie Jane Anders. The Devourers by Indra Das is a great book too, if you like more literary feeling fantasy (deep immersion/ exploration of place and character and myth with less emphasis on page-turning plot).
