Hey, I just saw you reblogged Black Sails for Tom Hopper - I am recently hooked on it, and lemme tell you: you'll come for Hopper and his abs, but you will stay for Toby Stephens as Captain Flint. Hottest redhead ever. This was an unsolicited rec from a fandom acquaintance of old.

Ah, hello old fandom friend! I very much appreciate the rec. Redheads are not usually my thing, but I will happily take that under advisement because hot people *are* my thing. Black Sails is next on my watchlist, but that’s not saying a lot, unfortunately. But I will happily reblog all the Tom Hopper gifs in the meantime.

For the book meme, D, L, and X :-)

D: What book do you hate that most others love?

If this were about movies instead of books, the answer would be easy: Love, Actually. (DON’T get me started.) Books? I don’t think there’s one particular book, but there are definitely authors. Hemingway springs to mind...

L: What’s your favorite guilty-pleasure read?

I’m at the point in my life where guilt when it comes to reading has been left far behind me in the dust. Also, what the mainstream thinks of as a guilty pleasure is almost always something written by women for women. Using that definition, I’ve been reading some historical (mostly Regency) romances over the past year or so, for the first time in a long time. I wouldn’t call them pleasures, exactly, though. More like frustrations, because it appears I can either have books that get the setting right but the trade-off is characters with tepid emotions, or books that get the most basic period details wrong but have the emotion dialled up to eleven. I may just have to write the unholy hybrid of the two types myself if no one else will...

X: What book has your favorite cover art? 

Maggie’s Harvest by Maggie Beer. The pictures do not remotely do it justice. It’s a very substantial cook book, with a cloth cover, and the detail on the cover picture is embroidered. It’s just beautiful to look at and beautiful to touch.

“Your face is too sexy for this site, too sexy for this site, poor pussycat…” :-P And yes, their covering Pablo’s pecs really makes me wonder about what “female-presenting nipples” means.

*waves* Love the checked pinafore!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! I’m proud of it as I got it with a major price reduction by pure luck from EMP! It’s soft and a flattering cut! I love buying clothes especially things that are a bit different.

It was fun while it was fun, and then it lasted a while longer. ;-) All the best to you and Boleyn!

Aww, thank you so much!! On the whole, it was a great experience, and I'm particularly grateful to have met some pretty awesome people there. (Present company very much included!!)

I hadn't been active there for a while (I actually was a bit turned off by the arguments and preferred a more relaxed place like fanforum) but it's still sad to see it go. Gladly, I found some really good Tumblrs to follow there, including yours.: )

Yeah, things got insanely contentious in the past few months and I certainly understand wanting fandom to be a happy place and I don't blame you at all for wanting to stay well out of it. For me, lesson well and truly learned!! Fandom is a lot like religion - full of passion, argumentation and schisms :P And thanks for following me on Tumblr :D

all forums must serve. all forums must die. But how does one say ‘fandom is like kindergarten’ in high valyrian?

I think you might be slandering the maturity of kindergartners,a ctually :D

Mwahaha! Mine is an evil laugh — and now I should really read the non-Dany portions of that blog, after I pointed it out to you in the first place. ;-)

You will not be disappointed in the other essays, I think! They are all absolutely fascinating (currently I'm loving the Dorne one :D) And thanks so much for pointing the site out to me, because it's great!
