Even just wanting to write about Wakandans in Wakanda is scary enough, because - because, well, it's not mine, it's explicitly not mine, and it's not something I feel comfortable claiming as mine, even as much as I would, say, a Chinese fandom. But that's of course also really complicated, right, because white people staying out of fandoms like that doesn't help to magnify those voices either, and white people really need to work on their shit around racism more than black people need to do it for them, so someone probably should write some of those stories, but...
So yeah, chickenshit.


Yeah, I personally really, really want to read and write more about Wakanda. But I also really don't want to do it injustice. (I also REALLY want some pre-BP Erik fic because his journey contrasted to T'Challa's is really interesting.) -- And basically I want Roxane Gay to write like a novel version of her World of Wakanda book, which was SURPRISE CANCELLED AFTER SIX ISSUES, MARVEL, WTF. Do they not want my money?
