I loved the Song of the Lionness series when I was a hatchling. Did you ever read those? I think that was my gateway into the Fantasy genre, so perhaps I have a skewed views of it that differ from the mainstream - Hollywood has had no idea what it's doing for some time and wouldn't be able to find a decent female led fantasy if they tried. I hope the purchasing power does rebalance the industry and I'm hoping it works to better the industry overall. I do sort of wish everyone wrote with an agender pseudonym sometimes - but there's nothing more exciting than seeing your own name on a book when it goes to print. :o)
