@TheLethalCarrot HA! Sure......

@Jenayah, Carrot and @SQB [answer] and [ask] link to “How to ...”, respectively, and are also good to have in your repertoire.

TLC/Sqbdoo, what’s wrong with soft-sci-fi on id questions?

@Edlothiad not per se, but often used in lieu of an even more generic sci-fi.

@Edlothiad thanks for the pointer!

@SQB hard- and soft- sci-fi are exactly the same as any urban-fantasy or sword-and-sorcery or anything like that..?

@TheLethalCarrot what’s this meta? I couldn’t tell which post it was from your description

Found it

@Edlothiad yes. What I mean is that — and I admit this isn't the clearest example — I see users using whatever tag seems to fit on their story ID request. Yesterday I came across a question where the querant was looking for a book involving an angel, so they tagged it angel, which is the tag for the Buffy spin-off.

In this case, soft-sci-fi doesn't add much, since all sci-fi is soft, unless explicitly hard.

@Edlothiad duly noted, thanks!

Oi @SQB, wanted to thank you for the tip on Leidse stripshop. I went to Leiden and killed two birds with one stone by meeting a friend who's doing an internship there, and buying issues 3 and 4 of Ragebol. Shopkeeper had to go to the backshop to fetch them and told me no one had asked for those in years! :)

Awesome!

I'm mainly interested in issue 1. I've read the others, and issue 1 is the one I really want.

@SQB Oh!

They have issue 1 actually!!

My friend already had it in Dutch so I didn't buy it, but they had it - the one with the whales, right?

Yup, that's the one. I need to make a phonecall on Monday, then.

I was a bit surprised to see the guy come back from downstairs with three issues actually, since browsing on their website I remember only seeing the 4th one, "Under two suns" or something

Thanks for the tip.

Right, I'm off. Have a good weekend.

@SQB You're welcome, "exchange of good ways"! :) have a nice weekend too!

@SQB laughing a bit upon picturing the shopkeeper's face when he realizes he'll have sold all his dust-collecting issues of Ragebol in the course of two days ahah :D
