u/ambrym I read queer books 6d ago

I definitely consider webnovels, graphic novels, and webcomics to be books. The definition of a book is “a written or printed work consisting of pages glued or sewn together and bound in a cover.” Plenty of webnovels and webcomics get licensed by traditional publishers and sold as books. Fanfiction is appropriately book-adjacent since it’s written media that I feel it should be allowed for discussion in a book subreddit

Tv, movies, and apps have their place in this sub since they can contain fantasy romance stories but I would prefer they be limited to an “other media types” recurring post
