How do I break out of those weird tropes but still write something with gnomes and shit? What does it look like when wizards control the means of production?

    Yo I love this advice thanks, time for Shmoseph Shmalin to make his debut.

    And I'm on Dust of Dreams right now - so good - this has been the best series I'm glad I didn't walk away from when the first book hit me like a wall.

      No problem! I have a Shmarl Shmarx type person that's long dead as of the book taking place but it's pretty clear who they're supposed to be if you're familiar. I'll probably add in a Shmao Shmedong in my rewrites as well.

      Also, I stopped Malazan during Toll the Hounds, but one day I'll get back to it.
