The Slave Trade

peppermintyrose May 25, 2013 23:53

This was something born out of an upcoming post that just ran away from me, about the differences between how male and female characters are treated, and it lead me to thinking about giving this particular issue its own post. There will be another one in a day or two on broader issues ( Read more... )

What Goes Around...

I figure that this is a perfectly apt subject for a post, especially considering the mood in the rest of the fandom right now thanks to the spoilers. You have to go look for them elsewhere on this journal - I don't want any accidents. For those of you who've read the spoilers, THIS IS A SPOILER FREE POST. Do not post them in the comments. For those ( Read more... )

Really No H8?

I'm ridiculously behind this week - I've been busy with other things - and this is really short - so maybe I'll have time to make another short one soon. I have yet to review all the stories I loved for I Write The Songs - I am completely crap - so many spankings. In fact, this week, the story I just reviewed will be the first story I'm gonna ( Read more... )

Weeping Willa

peppermintyrose Jul 18, 2012 07:09

This is the post that I referenced in the comments concerning the likeness to Scarlett O'Hara here. When I started this post, it was with a phrase as the title from Dead to the World. It lead me on an interesting little tour. Now, the requisite quote - where "Weeping Willa" appears is here:

I sighed, and my eyes watered, as they so often did

Bill Compton must die!

peppermintyrose Mar 19, 2012 08:37

Yes, that's a deliberate pun on Romeo. And no, I don't think he should die. This post is about the sentiment that Bill must die, or must be punished. I've done a post on why I don't think Bill would be happy with Sookie, but none on what I think of Bill from Sookie's viewpoint - why I am not for Bill as HEA, yet not on board with Bill dying.

Change Not Growth

peppermintyrose Jan 20, 2012 07:57

The subject of this post is speculation on how I think we're going to see Sookie changing over the next two books - and in particular how she's going to change in the newest book. There's a whole heap of information in Dead Reckoning on aging, changing and the quality of a person, and by the end of the book we have turning points.

Some of the ( Read more... )

Heart of a Tiger

peppermintyrose Nov 14, 2011 07:53

Well, I've done a post on Bill-as-Eric, but I haven't done a post on Quinn-as-Eric. He's relatively popular too, so it's only fair, with all the suitor confusion. There's very little Quinn fic in the Fanfic.net fandom - but no one needs it when you can make Quinn into Eric. Mostly Quinn as a character called Quinn is wholly dismissed or used as a ( Read more... )

Rape-as-Romance

peppermintyrose Oct 11, 2011 06:33

This post has been sort of swirling at the back of my head for a while. This is just a general discussion post, because I think it bears discussing - and my regular commenters I'm sure would love to say what they want in a Sookie-positive environment. :D Plus, this journal is for relieving my head of swirling thoughts, and then opening up the floor ( Read more... )

Rape Rarely Referenced

peppermintyrose Apr 15, 2011 05:51

I keep seeing this one around, and even though I've dealt with it generally before, I'm going to break it down for those who can't see. There is this assertion that Sookie's rape - the trunk scene with Bill - is not dealt with in the text, and that CH glosses over it. Usually it's said by people who haven't been victims, or occasionally one lone ( Read more... )
