yorktown: talk about a time you struggled but came out on top

Answered!

non-stop: talk about something you’re talented at, or even just something you can do very quickly and efficiently

i discovered, back when i used to have office jobs, that i am apparently AMAZING with data processing and analysis. i’m speedy, i’m well-organized, and i see things in the data that other people don’t. to be honest i’m not sure that this is a skill unique to me so much as a skill my generation has developed more than previous generations, but it was still a nice surprise.

i’m also supremely awesome at writing parodies, but there’s less call for that. :)

This episode I'm joined by Carl Engle-Laird, an editor for tordotcom (though Carl is speaking wholly for himself in this episode). We discuss queer romance in science fiction and fantasy - some of the things that distinguish queer romances from heterosexual romances in the tradition, and the impact this has on readers. We touch on the trope of the tragic queer & talk about Carl's reading history and the impact of diving through tordotcom's slush pile.

GUYS GUYS I know a lot of our listeners are fans of Sci-fi/Fantasy, and that many of you have an interest (if not an investment) in queer representation in media. I strongly encourage you to listen to Carl @thisoneiscarl on the Cabbages and Kings Podcast. Carl is, as always, articulate and interesting, and filled with excellent opinions. 

Go forth! Listen!

If there's someone it's easier to talk to than anyone else, and, like, you find them pretty, you should be in a relationship with that person, if there aren't huge obstacles.

(1/2) Hi! Dropping a line to say I really liked this ep. You both were really fun to listen to. Re: Jake/Gina: I remember first seeing the forehead kiss in "The Vulture" and thinking that it sort of came out of nowhere. After this though, it made a whole a lot of sense. Am I right in thinking that that's the most affectionate Jake has ever been? (Apart from the hug in Full Boyle, I guess.)

We went over this question with each other at some point. I believe that Jake is seen ending a kiss with Corpse Lady in M.E. Time, but otherwise a kiss on the forehead is far and away the most affectionate we’ve seen him. It’s perfect there, looks JUST like he’s kissing a sister figure.
