The Guardian ran an article entitled “SFF community reeling after Marion Zimmer Bradley’s daughter accuses her of abuse”, and the following year, Deirdre Saoirse Moen’s blogging earned her a place on the Hugo Award longlist for Best Fanwriter. I am not her only victim, nor were her only victims girls.” “She was cruel and violent, as well as completely out of her mind sexually. “Walter was a serial rapist with many, many, many victims (I named 22 to the cops) but Marion was far, far worse”, wrote Greyland. After writing on the subject, Saoirse Moen received an email from Moira Greyland, daughter of Bradley and Breen, whose testimony described Marion Zimmer Bradley not merely as an enabler of molestation - but as an active molester herself:

These posts pulled together information that had been published previously but escaped widespread notice - such as evidence that Bradley had enabled the crimes of her husband Walter Breen, a child molester with convictions going back to 1954. It arose in 2014, with a scandal that ruined Marion Zimmer Bradley’s posthumous reputation.Ģ014 was the year in which author Deirdre Saoirse Moen ran a series of posts on her blog discussing Bradley’s involvement with child molestation. There was still another issue faced by Sword and Sorceress on top of these one that raised an ethical, rather than practical, aspect to the anthology’s continuation.

The series managed to survive a number of significant setbacks: one was the death of original editor Marion Zimmer Bradley in 1999 another was publisher DAW dropping the series with the 2004 volume, after which Sword and Sorceress was published by the Marion Zimmer Bradley Literary Works Trust. Marion Zimmer Bradley’s Sword and Sorceress, the once-influential anthology series that was founded in 1984, saw its thirty-fourth and final instalment this year.
