@peck_neal I look forward to the unfollow. Good luck with other fictional places. I suspect you will find that anything decent dealing with land and lore is always filtered through a lens of politics because the past and folklore itself is ever rarely neutral in such matters.

@peck_neal As for contemporary, try telling that to my grandfathers, who fought in their eyes not against Germans, but fascists. I come from a family that has had no track with fascists whether in Spain or Abyssinia or England for more than 80 years. It is traditional for us to oppose them.

@peck_neal I am not out to convert anyone and I find other political view points being held essential and healthy, but if Hookland being anti-racist, anti-ethnostate fantasy and flicking the V to nascent nationalistic nastiness breaks the spell, unfollow, cos that‰Ûªs in the county‰Ûªs DNA.

@peck_neal I don‰Ûªt mind Gene, but telling me having an issue with fascists is contemporary seems at variance with history and the fact that all fiction, even historical and fantasy, deals with the now of the writer and readership. If that stuff breaks the spell, can‰Ûªt see why you‰Ûªd stay.
