Can mainstream magazines with an inch-deep familiarity of the history of the genre stop putting together lists like these? That would be totally awesome.
No science fiction book written by a woman between 1980 and 1991 is among the 75 best in the field's history.

The first sentence here is elitist and insulting. The remainder of the tweet simply takes it as axiomatic that horror fiction cannot do any of the things described, by virtue of being horror. As if all horror is just artless, gormless juvenilia with no capacity for exploring deeper themes.

Also, anyone who thinks Brandon Sanderson would be the right choice to finish out A Song of Ice and Fire is not someone I would regard as a particularly conscientious and skilled reader. To put it very politely.
The way those two men write could not be more stylistically incompatible.

1. Because it's George's fucking universe, that's why
2. Because Brandon is making money hand over fist in his own fucking universe, why would he stop doing that for something he won't own and control
3. Unwarranted entitlement on the part of "fans" does not equal obligation on the part of artists

Saying this again: there is a scammer out there targeting newbie authors, claiming I'm one of their clients. They use different names, and I'm already pursuing legal action. But I have never worked with a PR company, editing service, or book packager, so anybody saying so is lying, period full stop.
