If anyone is looking for a brilliant historical fandom to get into, this is one of them. The Thomas Hawkins series is set in the early part of the 18th century and is currently a four book series. My friend wrote this fic based around the main trio. They’re brilliant, well rounded characters and I recommended checking out the series by the brilliant Antonia Hodgson.

Got the last part of On The Tip Of Everyone's Tongue done and posted (ffnet link, ao3 link) and this is the first round of art for that - there'll be more coming up with different links to different parts of the On The Tip Of Everyone's Tongue chapters - this one's just a pic of Marshalsea and Orsin's date outfits.

Little Dorrit by Charles Dickens

A bit of a doorstopper, this one, weighing in at 900 pages. But a brilliant example of Dickens at his best as a mature writer - great characters, great social commentary. The scene where the man employed as debt-collector rounds on his deceitful and hypocritical employer could have been written today, with equal relevance and power.

The plot is complex and it does, in the end, all centre on Little Dorrit herself. I started to think of her character as a cypher, rather than a real person, as she is implausibly impervious to all slights and feels only lovingly, humbly and kindly. But the other characters are vivid and brilliantly created.

The denouement is a long time coming, perhaps, and there is a fair bit of tying off of loose ends; but that is fair enough for such a long and epic novel.

Interesting, too, that the story is set around the Marshalsea Prison, which was the prison in London for debtors, where Dickens himself lived as a child because of his father’s financial woes. Makes it all the more poignant.

Great book.
