I really apparently disappeared off LJ. I every now and then would surf and see people still around, thank goodness, but I sucked at posting anything
( Read more... )
Sadly, I don't watch much TV anymore. My shows all let me down. Then I found new shows, was briefly fannish about them, then they let me down too (The Magicians and I had an ugly break-up and are no longer speaking).
I wish book fandoms were more popular so I could squee over a few series I've liked with someone other than my best friend.
Meanwhile, I mostly watch YouTube videos now on a wide variety of topics (cross stitch, hiking and camping, true crime, wildland firefighting, popular science, cats, etc.).
Here's hoping your recovery is the polar opposite of Sheppard's in most of your fic.
Omg, that is another one I know exactly what you mean. I was so peeved and the show died for me too. I don't get what it is with TV shows lately, even movies, so much disappointment. I have drifted to a lot of cooking documentaries, my guilty secret, love them.
You have to speak up about the book series. I have struggled to find good ones. My favorite book and tv series right now is the expanse. Love it, one of the few gold stars in books/tvs.
I haven't read much m/m romance, I think it would depend on how good the writing and story was - a good story, the romance is just an aspect. If it is just for the romance then it'd probably not make me as much into it. :)
Keeping the whumping in the forefront of my thoughts...
SF: The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells There are 4 novellas so far, with a novel coming out in a month or two. Book 1: All Systems Red.
SF: The Ukiah Oregon series by Wen Spencer The paperbacks are out of print, but you can still ILL them from the library. And they're still available as ebooks. Book 1: Alien Taste.
Fantasy: The Greatcoats series by Sebastien de Castell Falcio val Mond goes through...a lot. Book 1: Traitor's Blade.
Fantasy: The Element of Fire by Martha Wells This is a standalone. Martha Wells used to write SGA fic and I see hints of Sheppard in Thomas Boniface.
Fantasy: The Temeraire series by Naomi Novik These are just great stories--an AU Napoleonic War with dragons. Book 1: His Majesty's Dragon.
Fantasy: The Nightrunner series by Lynn Flewelling There is a M/M couple in this (by the end of book 2, I think), but it's very much secondary to the two of them being spies for the queen during a war with a neighboring land. Book 1: Luck in the Shadows.
