I was ruminating, as you do, on the differences between Green Eggs & Ham by Dr Seuss and I Really Like Slop by Mo Willems and came to the conclusion that the moral of Green Eggs is "try it, you might like it" and the moral of Slop is "try it, you might hate it", and that is among the reasons why Slop is a better, not to mention morally superior, ( Read more... )

So I've got the Ekaterin fic 90% done and then randomly had a moment of staring at the screen going "...oh right, I should read her novella, shouldn't I, that would be the thing to do ( Read more... )

I am working my way through Persuasion by Jane Austen and keep being distracted by how many people there are named Charles. So far there have been three (3) people named Charles in a room together at one time, and if the elder Mr. Musgrove is also a Charles -- which seems likely based on the family naming conventions so far -- we may reach four ( Read more... )

Or, not a real review, just basic stuff, and then the snippets I sent myself in e-mail to keep. I have had a no good, very bad, horrible day, and I gotta say, the back half of the book is pretty soothing in a way. The front part is All Aral/Jole Retcon, All The Time, and that's just terrible. Once it gets beyond that, I could pretend that Cordelia ( Read more... )

“Aral talked to me about nearly everything-I was his only safe repository for that part of himself, till you came along-but he was always a bit cagey about how you two got started. The empire was at peace, Miles was safely locked up in the Academy, political tensions were at an all-time low-not that that lasted-I go off to visit my mother on Beta ( Read more... )

So, I've read the Captive Prince trilogy. And I've been struggling a bit about how to write this, and I don't want to make it seem like I didn't like the books, but ( Read more... )
