<33333 also recs and Lost Prince
Previous post now locked, and can I just say that this little corner of the internet is fucking amazing. ♥ Looks like Kitten will definitely be reunited with me in six or seven months time, and I can't really tell you how much better I feel about life. Thank you guys, really a lot. (This also means that I officially get to name him. So now the fact that his name is the Sudanese word for 'fridge' (i.e. what he was hiding under when he was found) is completely official. Trollolol.)
I SAID (to some people) THAT I WAS GOING TO DO THIS AND I AM. I AM GOING TO START A LOST PRINCE FANDOM NEWSLETTER. Only I'm not going to start an actual comm, that would be ridiculous. I'm just going to post links here. (ALSO RIDICULOUS, I KNOW.)
In the past month no fewer than three (three!) people posted about The Lost Prince.
sophia_sol found it charming and ridiculous (CORRECT),
muccamukk found it standard FHB, i.e. there's a lot of shit to wade through (ALSO CORRECT), and
sineala has FULLY EMBRACED the spirit of things, posting about the book three times: the book is not subtle, objectively it's kind of mediocre BUT, and MOST IMPORTANTLY why you should read this. Additionally, there was some fic produced! osprey_archer wrote a lovely ficlet. ♥

This is a completely gorgeous, beautifully characterised study of Rina and the way she relates to and thinks about and looks after and is looked after by her crew. It's completely perfect, and made me see Rina through a new lens.

Fascinating, emotional fic, written with the kind of authenticity that makes me suspect that the writer knows exactly what they are talking about - I would be very surprised if this wasn't written by a medical person of some stripe. It's also an intriguing slant on the characters, and a slant on relationships in general that is not seen in fandom quite so often.
