I got my yuletide assignment. As is the way of these things, I had a brilliant idea on seeing it, wrote three hundred words and then nothing more. I'm still cautiously optimistic I might make progress soonish. I think I shall have to rewatch re-read replay re-consume the canon and hope for the best

We are obseeeeeeeesssed with Warhorses of Letters. We heard the first one by accident, in a falling-asleep-not-really-listening-to-this-OH-MY-GOD-HE-JUST-SAID-IT'S-NOT-EASY-BEING-A-GAY-HORSE-ahahahhaahaaa! kind of way, and then made a date at 11 every Tuesday evening.

My favourite line, apart from Oh My Horsey God, is "Thunderclap out of Stormcloud by Death to the French (sorry but that is his name smiley face!)"

@marengohorse and @copenhagenhorse are on Twitter, you know. The bit where @stephenfry and @marengohorse start flirting in French might actually be too meta.

I believe Thunderclap is the single character in Yuletide with the longest name and this makes me VERY HAPPY. Isn't it amaaaaaazing for certain given values of amazing?

Do I have to read the Outlander books to understand Lord John Grey?

[vikingwriter]

Not at all. (Disclaimer: I do actually like the Outlander books, but really think she does a good job keeping the Lord John stories independent. Of course, if you want to understand the character of Jamie Fraser, that's another story, in my humble opinion...)

[loneraven]

To add to the above, I haven't read them. There are things in them that I don't quite understand, but it's easy to put them aside, the Lord John stories are sufficiently good.

Please tell me you are listening to this, flist. Please tell me.

:-( Alas, I am not. Somehow I have never managed to retune my radio after the last house move. And iPlayer only has episode 4... is it *ahem*able somewhere?

There's a download on Amazon for £2.77 or free if you do a 30-day free trial membership thingie.

Link.

Ah, excellent, thank you. Somehow that wasn't showing up in my google results!

1. Oh god I want to listen to Warhorses of Letters now omg. But BBC online only offers the fourth episode, and none of the earlier ones! :(

...ooh! It's on iTunes. It will go on my Christmas list.

This is just one of the many reasons I miss being in the UK!

2. ...I sort of want to give Outlander a try now. Huh. Probably not a good decision in the year I decided to read both Ulysses and Clarissa.
