- How to Date your Dragon or How characters matter more than anything else- a book reviewI just finished reading How to Date your Dragon by Molly Harper, and I have to say I enjoyed it, but I wanted more than I got. World building is so important for me, and I wish the story would have gone deeper into the setting.If you want to support the work that I do, you can join the project on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cedorsettYouTube Channel= https://www.youtube.com/user/cedorsett/Site: https://www.projectshadow.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/cedorsettFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/projectshadowsite/---Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/projectshadow/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/projectshadow/support23 min
- Tropes, Nostalgia, and mythology are placebos for connection, and the magic always wears offDragons, unicorns, tropes, and nostalgia are placebos for connection, but they are no substitute for the real thing. They are signposts of the type of story being told and flares to attract attention. Once they have done their job, there has to be something else to retain that attention and connection.Some try to substitute trauma and pain for the various elements that would actually connect people to the work, the characters, and the setting.Let’s talk about hollow fiction on today’s Project: Shadow.If you want to support the work that I do, you can join the project on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cedorsettYouTube Channel= https://www.youtube.com/user/cedorsett/Site: https://www.projectshadow.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/cedorsettFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/projectshadowsite/---Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/projectshadow/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/projectshadow/support22 min
- Star Trek Picard and the Death of NostalgiaWith the events of Star Trek Picard: Star City Rag, it is clear that the series wants to be as different from the series that preceded it as possible to the point where it no longer looks classic Star Trek, which is obviously a thing of the past.Gene Roddenberry and many others who worked on and guided previous series wrote a lot about how the problems that center in the stories need to be universal. If they were transferred to any other genre, the story should be able to happen with minimal changes.Star Trek Picard has rejected this to the point of parody with its focus on Borg technology and Artificial Intelligence is moving it farther away from relatability as the show could be.I have a lot to say about this episode, but I can’t without spoilers, so join me on today’s Project: Shadow.If you want to support the work that I do, you can join the project on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cedorsettYouTube Channel= https://www.youtube.com/user/cedorsett/Site: https://www.projectshadow.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/cedorsettFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/projectshadowsite/---Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/projectshadow/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/projectshadow/support23 min

- Locke and Key is fun, empty, and has one possible issueI enjoyed this show. It was interesting and fun. The cast is awesome, and the cinematography was beautiful, but one of the twist left me empty, and made me feel like this show contains damaging anti-queer tropes. We need to talk about this in spoilers.If you want to support the work that I do, you can join the project on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cedorsettYouTube Channel= https://www.youtube.com/user/cedorsett/Site: https://www.projectshadow.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/cedorsettFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/projectshadowsite/---Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/projectshadow/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/projectshadow/support22 min
- Star Trek Picard- Absolute Candor and the Theory of RiosStar Trek Picard gives us a deeper dive into Romulan culture and explains more of JL's life since The Next Generation.

- Living in Fear of Being a Romance WriterI might be a romance writer, and the thought of that terrifies me, but why? Why should I care if I am a secret romance writer?

- Mythic Quest Raven’s Banquet and the Fight between Creative and MonetizationMythic Quest: Raven's Banquet on Apple TV + is a touching, smart, irreverent, series that made me laugh so hard I had to pause it to keep from missing the jokes. More than that, it is a powerful metaphor for the components of the creative mind at war with itself.If you want to support the work that I do, you can join the project on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cedorsettYouTube Channel= https://www.youtube.com/user/cedorsett/Site: https://www.projectshadow.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/cedorsettFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/projectshadowsite/---Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/projectshadow/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/projectshadow/support23 min
About Project: Shadow
From the publisher's feed
We understand the world through stories we tell ourselves, those others tell us, and those that entertain us, seeing ourselves in them even when they don’t contain people like us.
My name is Charlie, and I write Scifi/fantasy as C. E. Dorsett. As a queer writer, I dive into the deep structure of the books, movies, and shows that we love, and would love to take you with me through our fandoms and the works I create. We will dive into these worlds to reveal unseen wonder, discuss theories, and contemplate the elements of good writing. If you have any questions or topics, share them with me.
