#im a fantasy writer but like seriously

I really love the creativity of dystopian writers sometimes. Dystopia is such a specific category– society after the apocalypse– but dystopian writers come up with a thousand ways for the apocalypse to have happened and a thousand different kinds of rebuilt societies, from the creepily 1950s-style, binaric thinking that defines TheseVideos to the “fixing” of genes that Divergent covers to the crazy beauty-obsessed ideals of Scott Westerfield’s “Uglies” series. It’s amazing. If you’re writing a dystopia, go you. You’re fuckin cool.
