I am too tired to post anything meaningful, but I saw that I am a post-deadline pinch hit on Gen Freeform Exchange, so I thought it might be useful to promote that. The deadline is Friday (US time) (negotiable) and I am easy to please because I've completely forgotten what I asked for. I didn't... Continue reading

Some actual fic
Although I wrote it two months ago. The original posting date was 24th March and that was after I'd mustered up the energy to work out the formatting.

What I Just Finished Reading The Devil Rides Out by Paul O'Grady. This starts when he's 17 and stops just as he's getting into drag. The ending felt a lot like he'd just reached his word count and stopped, so came as a bit of a surprise. It was really interesting though. Childhood's End by... Continue reading
Unconventional Courtship
is back! I spent ages looking through Mills & Boon and Harlequin summaries, until I went mad. Generally at the summaries for being so awful.

Drabbles
had a Drabbleathon for February, when I'd just finished watching Mr Selfridge and had some fic ideas. So I thought I'd write a few in drabble form and ended up writing ten... There was a point when I thought I'd cracked the drabbles by writing 100 words in the first draft. Although it made it... Continue reading

What I Just Finished Reading Quantum Leap: Pulitzer by L Elizabeth Storm. The Quantum Leap podcast said they were going to do this book next, so I re-read it. I remembered enough to know it was good, and it was good. It reminded me that everything I know about the Vietnam War I know from... Continue reading
