first rec of my random Yule-trawlings
Dec. 26th, 2010 11:43 pmYou guys. Lyonnesse is an amazingly spot-on post-canon story for William Gibson's Bigend trilogy (Pattern Recognition/Spook Country/Zero History). I love the style, the characters, the worldview, the vocabulary, basically everything, and if I were to check my Twitter feed on reveal day to find William Gibson confessing that he had slipped into Yuletide incognito and written it himself I would not be at all surprised.
The very young label rep had spoken over the phone, apologetically, of porousness. Not so much breaches of security as a molecular digestion of boundaries, in an era where the warp and woof of sensitive diplomatic correspondence were indistinguishable from those of pirated Lady Gaga singles. Curfew fans were the very demographic to believe that information wanted to be free, if rocks could be said to want to be downhill, and the spirit of indie rock lacked the budget and will to stand in their way. Hollis got the impression that this had been a stealth marketing initiative, at some sub-Bigend level, or an informal request for proposals.
all right, fine
Jul. 23rd, 2010 12:28 pmAs entertaining as the results of trying to google this have been so far, they have not turned up the story I was looking for, so: What's the story where John and Rodney accidentally get into a BDSM relationship?
(ETA: Thanks to alert reader![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
aris_tgd, we find that the story is Too Good, by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
crysothemis.)
The reason I'm asking is that in the latest Dear Sugar column we learn that THIS CAN REALLY HAPPEN.
Is this or is this not the best thing you've heard all day?

Things I've learned from the internet
May. 18th, 2010 11:47 amFrigging EVERY show I don't watch has someone named "Chuck" in it.
Concession, a novella-length Iron Man (movieverse) story by obsession_inc, is the most unputdownable thing I've read in some time.
Christine Everhart does her job, in a chilling mystery/suspense plot that goes AU after the first movie. It is deftly constructed, sharply characterized, intelligent and disturbing and altogether believable in terms of the canon on which it draws. To say more would be to give away too much.

I have had enough interstitial video ads sprung on me. I can haz dreamwidth nao kthx.
ETA: I like it when I get to click on something that says (as the last page of the Import Journal process does), "This process cannot be undone. Make sure you are happy with the choices you have made."
