About Ashlander Analysis

Ashlander Analysis is a place for writing on the weird and fantastic, by a Zillennial history graduate and gamer with too many thoughts.

I am mainly interested in fantasy and sci-fi, but will also post about other topics that interest me, e.g. historical fiction, classics and horror. I write about a variety of media, including books, films, and video games, particularly roleplaying games.

Some key areas of interest:

• Stories concerned with injustice in society.

• Fantasy/sci-fi as valuable genres, suitable for telling serious stories.

• Video games as a legitimate artistic medium with unique strengths and possibilities for storytelling.

• Stories with existential themes.

• Stories that treat friendship as a substantive form of love, not less valuable than romantic relationships.

I publish three Sundays a month, sometimes more, and all of my articles are free!

NB: I do not use AI for writing, or anything other than my profile pic.
