Message: <blockquote data-quote="Autumnal" data-source="post: 9849818" data-attributes="member: 6671663">There’s a fairly small list of things I actively refuse to engage with (usual suspects here), a fairly long list of things I’ve either got no curiosity about or have sampled and don’t wish to engage with any more, and a goodly number of things I’ve got no objection to and may well enjoy some but where there are things I enjoy more in such abundance that I seldom get that far down the list of possibilities. Like Reynard, for instance. I love portal fantasy, but have tried enough isekai to feel secure in my dislike of a bunch of the conventions. Doubly so for litRPGs. It’s always possible someone will do either or both in ways that do work for me, and I trust pill hear about it from someone who can explain its distinctiveness. Then I’ll read it. In the meantime, not. There are a lot of things I might or might not like but simply can’t afford on my fixed income. And there are things I might or might not like but can’t play because of my disabled body’s bad reflexes, erratically slow cognition, etc. I do my best simply to not give CCGs, most computer games, etc, any attention. Frustration and jealously feed my depression, and it’s already a serious risk to my health. I like a lot of very dark and bleak stories in various media, but have a raggedy frontier of what’s too much. They do t match up well with any subgenre categories I know of, so I usually talk about them only with other fans of dark, bleak stuff. My major personal no-go line is about methods rather than subjects. When someone hates on something o like, I know not to bring it up to them. If someone has very fixed and firm views about what’s good and bad in a category, I probably won’t talk about it with them; if they have a really passionate and vocal hatred of anything prominent in the field, whether I like it or not, I definitely won’t talk about it with them. When I find enthusiasm but not uncomfortable passion, expansive preferences open to new entries, a willingness to discuss and an interest in learning as well as teaching, there’s someone I’ll want to share with and expect to have a good time.</blockquote>
