Tourists Seek Mythical Lesbian City in Sweden

How's that for a headline?

I went to check Scott Lynch's LJ yesterday to see whether he was around, and it turns out he's being a lot more active. And from there I found my way to:

- His website's updated Excerpts page, where one can find the entire prologue to the Republic of Thieves to download, in which, apparently, one may hope to meet Sabetha ( Read more... )

Watched in the last few days: assorted bits of Princess Tutu, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, and Aim for the Ace and Rose of Versailles. How's that for a combination?
Read this morning: part of They Were 11!

*twirls*

Hello, anime and manga. I have missed you. Kinda....but no, since you mention it, I'm not actually feeling sparkly or twirly at all ( Read more... )

Aim for the Ace is incredibly 70s. It shows its age. It's stupid and and pretty slow. The animation is awful. It's about high school tennis. Everyone has ... I hesitate to say amazing hair, actually, but they sure do have a lot of it ( Read more... )

Hi. Today has been sort of vaguely horrible, in a tiredness-induced way rather than because anything went wrong; nothing a good night's sleep and several buckets of tea in the morning won't fix. However, on the up side, I have been rewatching the later parts of Rose of Versailles. I think I may be almost ready to inflict more lengthly rambling on ( Read more... )

I know I promised to weird you all out with my RoV shipping theories next time but I actually think I need to do some re-watching first. So as a stand in, I will talk at you about... something else. Although if you actually want a coherent and balanced summary of the series this may not be the post for you.

Oniisama E is the other series by Ikeda ( Read more... )

Rose of Versailles is a classic shoujo series from the 70s, manga and anime (though getting hold of more than a couple of volumes of the manga in English is a losing battle, I'm afraid, even in scanlation; the anime is less of a challenge). The manga is by Ikeda Riyoko. ( Why do I love RoV? WELL. MY RAMBLY INCOHERENT THOUGHTS LET ME SHOW YOU THEM. )

Scans from three books I've read recently/am currently reading. Assorted crossdressing women, crossdressing men, androgyny, lesbianism and Just Kinda Interesting.

Click on sample pictures to get to galleries. Scans are not very good but I tried; I also seem to have absentmindedly forgotten to resize anything. Well, it shouldn't be news to anyone ( Read more... )

So I'm sure you all know by now how there's going to be a new Sherlock Holmes film. It is going to be awful; we knew this. Anyway. On a not unrelated topic, we could play a game of What's Wrong With This Article only we'd be here all week. I'm trying to find something that isn't wrong with this article instead. I really do not think I have anything ( Read more... )

This should be on the other journal. Erh. I'm logged into this one & I'm a lazy arse. I'll put it in the right place when I'm not at work. Post-and-run really. (Editing what editing, etc.) But OH HAI I WROTE. Boss, please give me some work now... I'd love to get work done. Really. Honestly. GIVE.

( Attempt at writing... what? Some kind of thing, anyway. Marshland again. In-between places again. )
