The best thing I read this week about writing that wasn't about writing.
FILM CRITIC HULK on the art of "cinematic affectation" and how choices in cinematography work. Yes, yes, it's about film and visual stuff, but as I often rant at you all (when I show up to rant at you all), I've learned a lot about writing fiction from thinking about film.

Finally watched the Christmas special, and...

In which there is a fic teaser.
27,000 words of GX slavefic.
24,000 words of GB soulbonding wingfic.
Um. Not sure which one will demand to be finished first, but they're both looking like nice meaty substantial stories.
Readercon followup, part deux: The concom sets things right, at least in my opinion. Which is good, because I think Mr P nearly went again this year and might ( Read more... )
