I just realized that with the upcoming Narnia movie, there will be fic. This frightens me. I’m not ready to have my childhood illusions shattered on the rocks of Aslan/Edmund slash. (Oh, and do NOT tell me it would be Aslan/Peter, because Aslan/Edmund are ANGSTY OMG!!)

I didn’t hate the buzz cut like some folks did, but I gotta say JM looks reeeeeeal nice with his hair a bit longer. (For anyone who’s wondering, that’s about how Barbverse Spike looks in the Christmas story.)
And now, the waiting. Also the fidgeting. (stares hopefully at betas)
I had thoughts. Apparently they decided to leave without me.
I’m happy about the Canada thing, though reluctant to count chickens. In its wake I’ve seen the expected cheers, the expected wailing that the world is about to end, and the ever-amusing stealth […]

Apropos of stuff in general, sometimes I think the things that disturb us the most deeply are the things we like, taken to extremes.
Ran across a couple of things today that set me pondering. The first was soundingsea’s link to Scott Lynch’s response to Robin Hobbs’s recent anti-fanfic rant (she calls it a rant, so I guess I can.) I really liked Robin Hobbs’s work back when she was Megan Lindholm and writing underappreciated gems like Wizard […]

OK, normally I wouldn’t post this ’cause it’s super-rough. But since I’m really happy to have finished a scene, and several people who shall remain nameless have indicated that my lack of a regular publishing schedule has caused them deep psychic pain, here is a snippet from Chapter 10. One more scene […]
