What I've been reading

I read Inverting the Pyramid: The History of Football Tactics, because when I set about geeking out about a subject I like to be thorough.

I read The Voyeurs, which is one possible answer to the question how introverted and socially awkward can you be and still draw a compelling autobiographical comic? which, as an ( Read more... )

Sometimes I feel as though I'm not properly in a fandom until I have discovered the pairing of my heart that virtually no one ships but me. Not that I don't want other people to ship these pairings, it just seems to be a thing that happens to me, repeatedly, and I complain and tag-stalk and yearn for them ( Read more... )

Don't you love it when you come across a piece of jargon or term of art that expresses something you had wanted to say with grace and concision?¹

I was reading Amy Richlin's chapter on reading Ovid's rapes in the collection of essays that she edited on Pornography and Representation in Greece and Rome, where she alludes to "the model of fantasy ( Read more... )

I genuinely need Tom Hiddleston/Cookie Monster delayed gratification kinkfic. Am I going to have to nominate this for Yuletide? Can I nominate Tom Hiddleston under Sesame Street, or do I have to nominate this segment as its own fandom with Tom Hiddleston and Cookie Monster as characters? So many questions.

What I've been reading

I read Point of Dreams, the sequel to Point of Hopes, which has everything I loved about that book, plus the mystery is set in a theatre, something which might as well have been taken from a checklist of things I love. I am still bemused by how un-shippy Nico/Philip is in the actual text-not only do they get together off- ( Read more... )

I happened to wind up at the gym at the exact time to catch the last twenty-five minutes of the Firefly episode "Trash" on the Science channel (which, apparently, shows science fiction, which I suppose is logical, since the SciFi/SyFy/Syphilis channel shows "reality" shows about ghosts). This made me happy, because the last twenty-five minutes of ( Read more... )

I just started a new audiobook at work, a collection of Raffles stories, and I just. The first story, The Ides of March, is just straight up D/s seduction porn.

I don't feel that I was adequately prepared for this. *fans self*
