When I posted Sea Change (Star Wars AotC canon-divergent AU) I mentionned that "this is the third fic I've written with a title from The Tempest, but the first one posted".

Here's one of those two other fics titled after quotes from Billy Shakes' Tempest. I wrote this originally in 2014 -- there was a discussion about people with the same name ( Read more... )

In an initiative to get me to comment on more fic, I have decided to make a post every friday about the fics I commented on that week. Because this occurred to me just now, I have not done the (very little) organising I need to do, so here, have five random fics I commented on at some point in time.


( Hamilton (musical) )

I'm starting to go for my black-out of all three cards ofhamsterwoman's reading bingo, so I'll be noting for which square I'm counting each book. (I'm being somewhat lax with my definition of "book", I think, but whatever. If it's original fiction and you have to pay to read it, it counts.)

What did you finish readingHagar, by Barbar Hambly: In which Rose ( Read more... )

I'm posting this now, because I want to do some of the various year-in-books memes I've seen floating around and it's quite hard to do that if my last Reading Wednesday post was in mid-November. I think that's all the books I've read since then, but I might be wrong and have missed one. In case, heh, it couldn't have been that good, could it ( Read more... )

I'm late, but on the plus side, I'm no longer living in an Edgar Allan Poe story and have found the source of the noise. There was a smoke detector that needed new batteries. It was stuck to the ceiling, above a shelf that blocked it from view. Have had to ask for help from someone taller than me to turn it off. But, hey, at least it's off now. (It ( Read more... )

Hi, new people, welcome to "dhampyresa goes tl;dr about books".

Also, wow, this week went by so fast. I barely had time to do anything, including read. HOW IS IT WEDNESDAY ALREADY?

What did you finish reading

I'm still processing Barbara Hambly's Crimson Angel. I mean, it was a truly excellent book, but it also touched on some ethical issues I've ( Read more... )

(I swear I posted this yesterday evening, but since the post only appeared when I clicked the link in the "Croopost successful" Dreamwidth email, I've deleted that entry and reposted. Idk what's going on.)

What did you finish reading

Blood of Olympus, by Rick Riordan: It was really good and a fitting ending to the series(es), I thought. My favourite ( Read more... )

What did you finish reading

The Mirror Empire, by Kameron Hurley: Aaaaaaaaaah! At some point in the last hundred or so pages this book really grabbed me and didn't let go. Until the epilogue, that is. I was very meh on the epilogue. I can tell it's supposed to be this great dramatoc reveal that's supposed to blow our minds, but nope, not feeling it ( Read more... )

Hi! If you're writing for me, you clearly have excellent taste in media and I will love anything you write for me. I mean that. I'm not picky at all. There are exactly three things I would rather not get as a gift and those things are: incest (including adopted), underage and child abuse. That's it. If that's all you wanted to know, feel free to ( Read more... )

What did you finish

My Heart's Desire by Kate Silver: I liked it. It had cross-dressing Musketeers and a revenge plot. I love Miriame's no non-sense attitude.

Thérèse Dragon: It's a BD. I don't know how to feel about it. On the one hand, it's very confusing (she's insane? Or possibly not? Or something), on the other hand, it introduced me to Thérèse ( Read more... )
