My
writings have appeared all over the web. In fact, several hundred of my Star
Trek and Babylon 5
articles and interviews have been illegally transcribed and are
scattered throughout sites the world over. Here are some of my
“official” web writings below, from the Believer.mag, RevolutionSF.com,
Infinityplus.co.uk, and SFSite.com.
An Interview with Lou Anders
“As a thinking person I'm completely
in despair, but as a kind of creature I'm quite happy.”
An
Interview with Lou Anders
“I just can't get with this idea
that literature is a twelve-step program. If some one wants to read a
book to see good people get rewarded and the bad people get punished,
essentially what they want is a fairy tale."
An
Essay by Lou Anders
“For
a long time now, I've been increasingly disheartened by the dichotomy
between televised and literary SF…”
An
Essay by Lou Anders
“It's
really irritating me, these frequent comparisons in the press between Harry
Potter and Lord of the Rings… Yes, both films have
"fantasy" elements — but the heavy handed association of the
two that's taking place in the critical commentary is like saying The
Fast and the Furious and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang are the same
film because they both have racing cars.”
An
Interview with
Lou
Anders
“I
do not believe it is impossible to write about what happens after the
singularity--however, I think it depends which singularity you
pick, and how thoroughly your extrapolation pursues second-order
effects.”
An
Interview with Lou Anders
“We
-- all humans, but especially writers -- are not single personalities,
but communities of many daemons. Whenever I'm wandering through a
novel-scene in my imagination, one of my insistent sub-daemons will
direct my attention to something small, like a cup, and whisper: So
what's different about this? Is it really just a cup? Can it float?
Change shape? Change its contents to reflect the drinker's mood?”
An
Interview With Lou Anders
“Winning
the Nebula was bewildering. After years of receiving form-letter
rejections, suddenly winning an award like that made me wonder if
something were wrong somewhere; it's okay for art to be surreal, but
uncomfortable when real life is.”
