@leapetra yea given up on tweetchat using TweetDeck #UFChat |

@UF_Chat More and more talk about trolls. That new movie from Norway is helping with that #ufchat |
| 11:02 pm |
Jess_Haines: |
#UFChat I’ve seen a lot of angel stuff in YA and demon stuff in UF/PNR come out in the past year. Probably will see more of that in 2011. |
| 11:03 pm |
Jess_Haines: |
#UFChat Aside from the obvious vamp/werewolf/mage stuff, of course.  Fae are also becoming more popular. |
| 11:04 pm |
UF_Chat: |
@leapetra Trolls are interesting turn. Much more based in legends but what kind of changes in them have you seen? #UFChat |
| 11:04 pm |
DawnEmbers: |
Try this again: There is mage stuff in UF? Where can I find that? #UFchat |
| 11:05 pm |

@DawnEmbers yep wiches, magic useers and magic galore in some stories. #UFChat |
| 11:05 pm |
leapetra: |
#UFChat I think vampires will still be big, I can only hope that the image of them will start to change, New blood! |
| 11:05 pm |
Jess_Haines: |
@DawnEmbers Mage/wizard, yes. Harry Dresden is the biggest, most popular example. #UFChat |
| 11:06 pm |
Jess_Haines: |
@leapetra How so? What would you like to see done differently? Not more sparkling, I hope, lol. #UFChat |
| 11:06 pm |
leapetra: |
@uf_chat nice thing about trolls, is that there are many interpretations. From stone beings, to almost human ones. #UFChat |
| 11:06 pm |
DawnEmbers: |
@UF_Chat ahh, yeah I heard of witches but not sure that any called them “mages” like I have in epic fantasy #UFchat |
| 11:06 pm |
Jess_Haines: |
@DawnEmbers Have you read Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files? The MC is a wizard who advertises in the Yellow Pages, hehe. #UFChat |
| 11:06 pm |
leapetra: |
@uf_chat hard part: setting them in urban areas. they stayed to the fringes of society most of the time. Except in Hellboy. #UFChat |
| 11:07 pm |
DawnEmbers: |
@Jess_Haines I’ve heard of the tv show. but for me wizard is different than mage #UFchat but thanks I might read a book at one point |
| 11:07 pm |
jayewells: |
@DawnEmbers @UF_Chat As far as I know my series is one of the only UFs that actually uses the term “mage”–The Sabina Kane series. #ufchat |
| 11:07 pm |
Jess_Haines: |
@UF_Chat Ayup. Some books came out that had a TON of hype surrounding them that featured angels. Didn’t read them, myself. #UFChat |
| 11:08 pm |
Jess_Haines: |
@DawnEmbers If you grew up on D&D, yeah, it’s different. But that’s par for the course in UF. #UFChat |
| 11:08 pm |
Jess_Haines: |
@jayewells @DawnEmbers Not true. I have a mage feature fairly prominently in my novels, even if he’s a secondary character. #UFChat |
| 11:09 pm |
leapetra: |
@DawnEmbers to me, mage is a person that is born with magic. Wizard learns. #ufchat |
| 11:09 pm |

@cdreimer That just gave me flashbacks to Blair Witch. AUGH. #UFChat |

Irresponsible people and demons – a new trend? Horror couldn’t exist w/o irresponsible people. Demons are new signs of the times? #UFChat |

Heading into the #ufchat transcript. Consider yourselves warned. (Imagine tonight will be long and rambly.) |
| 8:47 am |
AnassaRh: |
Trends in 2010′s UF? More fae, some steampunk. YA had those too, plus angels and medium-types. #ufchat |

AnassaRh: |
I’m not sure I see an emphasis on magic in the 2010 UF. Upcoming? Yeah, I think we’ll probably see that. #ufchat |
| 8:52 am |
AnassaRh: |
I suspect we’ll see more mixed-myth worlds, where it’s not just Celtic or Norse or Roman, but is a bit of everything. #ufchat |

| 8:54 am |
AnassaRh: |
Books I’m looking forward to? Bloodshot, Brush of Darkness, Midnight Riot, Heartless, Late Eclipses, One Salt Sea, MM of Labyrinth. #ufchat |
| 8:55 am |
AnassaRh: |
And of course, there are a whole lot of pre-2011 books I haven’t gotten through yet. #ufchat |

AnassaRh: |
I didn’t pull up the Orbit links, but if memory serves, we’re seeing less flesh, more sensible outfits. Also more heads? #ufchat |

AnassaRh: |
@inkgypsy @leapetra Toe stepping’s likely an issue, yeah. Also scant records for some baddies, and general lack of knowledge. #ufchat |
| 9:05 am |
AnassaRh: |
.@inkgypsy @leapetra I’d imagine many more people know Western, even Asian monsters, than do the American ones. #ufchat |
| 9:06 am |
AnassaRh: |
Of course, there are lots of American monsters created by whites. We don’t see those ones either. #ufchat |
| 9:17 am |
AnassaRh: |
@Rachel__Graves I second the October Daye rec. Also Kat Richardson, Stacia Kane, Suzanne McLeod, Lilith Saintcrow, Mike Carey. #ufchat |
| 9:20 am |
AnassaRh: |
So, looks like #ufchat was less guided than I’d expected (no crit to @shadowflame1974). Looking forward to more open chats, though. |
| 9:21 am |
AnassaRh: |
More predictions of things to come? Based on comments in previous #ufchat‘s, we’ll start seeing women with families and non-Western monsters |
| 9:22 am |
AnassaRh: |
It also sounds like there’s going to be a backlash against alpha-alpha males and MCs in law enforcement. #ufchat |
| 9:23 am |
AnassaRh: |
And I’m totally up for all of that! Even if I’m not writing about most of that stuff at the moment. #ufchat |
