I don't expect to see
Oct. 14th, 2011 04:06 pmUrban fantasy drawing on the current Occupy Wall Street fuss where the predatory 1% are not metaphorical vampires but rather actual vampires even though it's a perfectly obvious idea. This is because as far as I can tell almost everyone who writes UF (except maybe Carrie Vaughn) favours the 1% and so are unlikely to adopt a narrative frame that could lead to criticism of a brutal oligarchy draining the lower orders according to whim.
I am continually amazed that UF manages to be fairly consistently even more reactionary in its politics than SF, given that SF's political median seems to be somewhere in the vicinity of Kaiser Wilhelm (minus the public health stuff).
