A little of what I've been up to lately
Jun. 22nd, 2015 09:49 amOn Saturday night, I caught up with a B99 episode: 2.22 Det. Dave Majors
( it was a good one )

I read Robin McKinley’s Rose Daughter, a retelling of Beauty and the Beast. It’s much, much better than her Beauty, another retelling of the fairy tale which it turns out was her first novel and, I’m glad, not the first book of hers that I read. I love the writing, the fantasy setting with its own rules of magic that the reader discovers alongside Beauty (whom I should have found more annoying than I did, considering her traits). I especially liked what McKinley did with Beauty’s older sisters. Recommended if you’re in a mood for a fairy tale retelling in a fantasy setting.

Sorry for the old fic spam on Dreamwidth (and AO3) but it occurred to me on Thursday night that now was a good time to repost old fic. (That’s old fic that’s a decade old. Yikes.) Trying to work out what I was thinking in terms of formatting, titles and archiving a decade ago was a faff initially. I revised one and did a little more to another than correct typos. I was so prolific in 2005 and steeped in Dark Angel fandom, more so than I’ve ever been in the one fandom since as both a reader and writer, but since then I’ve been more multi-fannish and even then, alongside the DA fic, there were Harry Potter ficlets. Um, I may repost more fic over the next few days (but then again, I might not. I intended to post this yesterday.)
The starry dividers are a homage to the fact that I used them in fic in 2005, or at least the fic that were longer than vignettes.
The fics I reposed so far are: ( Read more... )
