Recently on twitter Alexandra Rowland wrote a thread about recing someone there first fantasy novel. The thread had a lot good advice but what caught my eye was Rowland’s description of fantasy as a language. That reminded me of Jo Walton’s piece about SF reading protocols. I think it's super valuable to remember that you have to learn how to read SFF, but also that SFF takes on non-SFF works can get you to some strange places.
