What I've recently finished reading:

Karen Memory, by Elizabeth Bear. I didn't actually know what this was about when I started - for some reason the name made me think it would be futuristic cyberpunk - but I love the Old West, and apparently this carries over into Steampunk Alternate Old West as well. The story itself, about soiled doves and ( Read more... )

Dear writer! Thank you for offering to create a fanwork for one of these obscure-ish sources. Please be reassured that I will be equally happy whichever you choose, because I love all these worlds and these characters ( Read more... )

• I have been intending to read Ada Palmer's Too Like the Lightning for some time. Lo and behold, it's the Tor.com eBook of the month! If you're in the US or Canada (only, sorry!) you can sign up at that link and get a download link. This is only valid through 11:59 PM ET March 23rd.

I have posted the final chapter of What Comes Around (Goes Around), my Blue-centric poly OTmumble Raven Cycle fic! This means that 1) those of you who are allergic to WIPs and have been waiting can go read it now (both of you ._.) 2) I can await The Raven King with no less trepidation, and 3) I can write other stories again ( Read more... )

What I've just finished reading: Lirael, the second Old Kingdom book by Garth Nix, which is really the first half of a two-volume book rather than the second book in a trilogy. I loved it. In fact, late last week when I was upset and depressed (over both world events and personal ones) I couldn't face reading more of my depressing Benjamin ( Read more... )
