I think that's true. Also folklore generally is coded as pre-enlightenment, aka pre-democracy as we understand it. Still, demons are exempted. (?) Remember Angel's demon law firm?

Brand new audio extra: Why is it so hard to come up with a book title? @Annaleen and @charliejane discuss the torturous process of coming up with titles for the books that became Autonomous and All the Birds in the Sky.

Yeah I feel like hell is often a bureaucracy. And there are sort of pseudo-democratic "councils" in lots of supernatural tales like The Witcher. But it's true that we don't have fae election stories, which we really should.

Ohhh that's a good question!! I want to start with ghosts/spirits because I keep thinking about the afterlife bureaucracy scenes in Beetlejuice and The Good Place. Or fae, who are obsessed with contractual obligation. There's an amazing supernatural gov't structure in Lost Girl.

Absolutely. And the stories always seem to hover around issues of immigration and class. (Dracula was a rich immigrant of course.)

Ugh this sucks, and is anti-science. This is why I deal with WW only through the app, which I can turn off when it tries to give me "helpful hints."

Originally the book was going to be entirely about vampires, but my thesis committee thought it was too bonkers (for lots of reasons -- not just the "all vamps" angle). I put a LOT of my feelings about academia into the chapter on mad scientists.

agree! but apparently warm tummies are simply not something we're allowed to interrogate.

With the 12th case of coronavirus in U.S. confirmed today, here are some things I learned in my embed @SnoHD, a few blocks from where the first confirmed case was sequestered in a hospital isolation unit. What I saw was both inspiring and daunting. nytimes.com/2020/02/05/us/…

The results of this poll surprised me -- there was an inexplicable deep divide between the warm tummy people and the fluffy tummy people. Why do you hate warmth, voters? twitter.com/Annaleen/statu…
