Things I hope Tommy Arnold's announcement/merch drop will be:

- a life size cardboard cut out of Gideon Nav

- one of those grow-a-dinosaur capsules that dissolves in water except it's grow-an-Alecto

- finger puppets of Jod and the Lyctors

- a crank up Jack-in-the-box but it's a Babs-in-a-coffin

- two packs of cigarettes and a purple tie

- a mini Kiriona Gaia pocket Jesus

- real genuine can of harrow marrow soup that sets off Geiger counters

- a Polly pocket compact replica of Canaan House

- Front Line Titties of the Ninth pinup calender

First post (wip)

Hi! I am a genderqueer PhD candidate at the University of Tasmania. My research project looks at how, where, when trans and gender-diverse people feel at ease.

I am looking for members of the trans and gender-diverse community (encompassing anyone who does not identify as cisgender) to participate in a study surrounding trans and gender-diverse people's experiences of feeling comfortable, understood and respected.

I am conducting a survey and interviews to gain a better understanding of transgender, gender-diverse, and non-cisgender people’s experiences of gender, interpersonal relationships and values as well as what it means for them to live a good life.

The survey can be found through the QR code above. The survey link can also be found here:

https://utas.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bfp0XtJ9WZTjTeu

The survey will take around 10 minutes to complete. After submitting the survey, you will be asked if you are willing to take part in an interview, and will be given a hyperlink that leads to my email address. In order to express interest in participating in an interview, you must email me directly. More information will be provided at the end of the survey.

Thank you for reading!

I went—not overseas, but by public transport—to Corpus to hear Tamsyn Muir speak.

The bad news: Alecto is not finished. It will hopefully come out "soon" and will likely be fast tracked with few ARCs when it's finished.

The news you may take differently depending on your preferences: It is not being split.

The good news: It is not all written in Ye Olde Alecto speak (it sounds like Harrow's POV will be fairly major, but there will apparently be several narrators).

A slightly random selection of things I frantically scribbled down:

The protagonists of TLT would make an "absolutely shit" D&D party ("Palamedes and Camilla would be fine")

We could have had horse plinko and begone thot, but for the anti-meme ministrations of her editor. She would love an edition that puts all of the memes back in.

On Catholic imagery and lesbianism: "you ain't seen nothing yet"

"Harrow is now a believer without a church"

She said that while John and Alecto's relationship is not meant to be a 1:1 analogue to Humbert Humbert and Lolita, there is the idea of a man fashioning (something he thinks is) a girl into a perfect partner (the question of whether that is a sexual partner apparently may be relevant to ATN)

She does not have a favourite House and would just be a regular person in the world of TLT (though she would last about 0.5 seconds)

The tension between the Houses' ostensible gender equality and the misogyny that still persists is apparently also relevant to ATN. "John has set out to make a society on values he holds dear and cherishes and in some ways he has done really well... And in some way he has fucked it up beyond comprehension" (Maybe not an exact quote. My auditory processing is questionable.)

The backstory in NTN was planned right from the beginning

Lyctors "are not truly human any more. They've crystallised themselves" and "They have lost themselves and the only thing they've been able to hold on to is what other people make of them". She said she would have liked to make the Lyctors more alien but had to balance that with them being relatable narratively.

She is dying to read TLT fanfiction once she finishes the series.

i KNOW that Gideon in face paint and full ninth robes was one of the hottest things Harrow had ever seen. stalking around Canaan just wanting to bite Gideon and shake her around like dog toy.

' the frames of their eyeglasses were very conceptual'
