Book stuff:

I’ve been trying to read Dangerous Visions. After several days’ hard going, I have at last finished the first story. There are three forwards and two introductions. And then another introduction to the story itself. And an afterward. ( Read more... )

If I ever decide to write an introduction to BGS that’s longer than “Pudding, Alice, Alice, pudding” won’t someone please kick me in the head?

I strongly recommend At Swim Two Boys to anyone who likes slash, or Irish fiction, or damned good realist novels with lyrical but not florid writing, and that have families in but are not all about them being destiny. Warning: there’s some sad.

Random stuff:

I misread “Oscillate Wildly” as “Ocelot Wildely” and I’ve decided that’s my new drag king name.

This may be my favorite comment I’ve ever made. And it’s made me think that it could be fun to do up a villain who used to be good and just got too tired. I’m sure it’s been done, but most things have, and that’s a villain I could relate to.

Fannish stuff:

Somebody, in a big smart thinky thing about the ATS finale, said this about Lindsay, Lorne, and Angel ( Cryptic spoilers within )

A new fannish poetry community

I highly recommend A Series of Small Walls, by dodyskin. A haunting Wes/Angel story, spoilers through Not Fade Away.

From doyle_sb4 I learned of the Jossverse timeline project, which I have no time to volunteer on but is still damned cool.

A new kind of derivative work. Link from laurashapiro.
