Yesterday, I finally posted all the fic that I’d posted to Dreamwidth to Archive Of Our Own. Yay! It only took me years to do so. If I were going to archive my fic elsewhere, I might not be as determined to post everything there. This still means that I need to repost fic that was only posted at lj and ff.net (and Geocities, it’s that old) to both DW and AO3. It will probably also take ages, but I’ll warn if I get a burst of energy and start spamming.

For now, here are some links that I found interesting, most of which are Internet old. Georgette Heyer quote icons; The Hour meta; The Lizzie Bennet Diaries pics; Much Ado about Nothing interview; Pacific Rim meta; Paradox talk and a list about the awesomeness of Farscape. )

I've been away over the weekend, which meant very little control over the TV, so I have to catch up on a few shows. I read books instead, one of which was Sorcery and Cecilia or the Enchanted Chocolate Pot by Patricia C. Wrede and Caroline Stevermer, which I expect most people on my friends list will have read. If you haven’t and you love Regencies (especially Georgette Heyer’s oeuvre) and fantasy, go get this. It’s a JOY.

The story is told via the correspondence of two cousins, Cecy and Kate – I don’t know why that wasn’t the title – who are capable young women with a gloriously supportive relationship. One of them goes to London for her first season, one of them stays at home. However, as becomes increasingly clear, they live in a Regency England where there are wizards and sorceresses, who are not quite the thing in respectable aunts’ eyes. Their nieces have slightly more open attitudes and could be quite helpful if certain people (men) didn’t treat them as if they were hen-witted and couldn’t deal with useful information.

Basically, it made me gurgle and smile, and the note at the end about how the story came about was the cherry on top.

Does anyone know of any good reason why I shouldn’t get a hold of the sequel Grand Tour?
