The group opposed to the “Sad Puppies” are a bunch of science fiction fictioneers.
Too true, and your use of the word is technically astute.
Ty Burr has an excellent article in the GLOBE about the issue of Sad Puppies that deals most helpfully with the toxicity of web dialogue and gives good advice on dealing with trolls.
I am looking for a more expanded use of the term, “fictioneer.” Consider Hillary’s emails or Brian Williams’ imaginings. Surely Obama pamphleteers the globe with his fantasies.
Have I run off the track?
