Tales from the Crit Tuesday II
Today I'm posting over at Tales from the Crit on the topic of juggling relationship dynamics when writing a ménage. Please feel free to come tell me I'm full of... applesauce.

I have been remiss.
I offer the excuse that both my dogs have some foul virus that causes them to go 'splodey all over the kitchen floor if I don't take them out every hour on the hour. The vet says all we can do is push fluids and wait. Yay. Three squirt bottles of disinfectant and eight rolls of paper towels later, my hands look like they belong to an eighty-year- ( Read more... ) -
Community building: Ur doin it rong.
Own a Kindle? Or a Nook? Or some other nifty device that allows you to hook up with a few other nifty devices share ebooks? Good on you. I'm all for sharing. I truly do believe it builds a community around reading and books.
When I call e-pirates thieves? I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about sites like Asatalk and Demonoid that upload ( Read more... ) -
New Review: Year of the Cat
Elisa Rolle reviews Year of the Cat in her usual charming way.

A little less heat, a little more light.
Weary of the "Lamdba Lit versus Breeders" controversy? Willing to read one final post on the subject?
Make it this one: http://wedschilde.livejournal.com/1312665.html
To paraphrase my brilliant and ever fabulously stylish crit partner, Barbara Caridad Ferrer, you can't ever really know who you're talking to on the Internet, so check your assumptions ( Read more... ) -
Deep in the Bitter Barn, don't bother to knock.
In the interest of fairness, I'm linking to a post at JesseWave Reviews that attempts to give a differing perspective on the whole Lambda mess. Here it is: http://www.reviewsbyjessewave.com/?p=8146
The authors of the post are eloquent in their defense of Lambda's decision to change its award guidelines. A lot of what they say makes sense (not all, ( Read more... ) -
Lammy Founder Weighs In
(Thanks to Teddy Pig for the links.)
This morning, Lambda Lit Award founder Deacon Maccubbin commented on the ongoing Lammy kerfluffle.
"Just to keep the historical record clear, when I founded the Lambda Literary Awards in 1988, they were specifically intended to honor “the writers, editors and publishers of gay and lesbian literature”. There was no ( Read more... ) -
And now for something completely different...
Thanks to my always brilliant and fabulously stylish crit partner, Barb Ferrer, for this link to Jim C. Hines' livejournal, and his hilarious, Seuss-esque bit of verse, "Slush I Read."
In memory of the late, great Kate Duffy, here's a taste and a link to the full poem:
I read slush.
Slush I read.
That slush I read.
That slush I read!
I do not like ( Read more... ) -
More re: Lambda Lit versus The Breeders
Updated to add a link to this amazing post by former Lambda Award winner Lee Thomas: http://leethomas.livejournal.com/157333.html
I'm especially enamored of this bit:
"I think this is a terrible move on the part of the LLF. Narrowing the field does nothing to improve the award's credibility and it's something of a slap in the face to gay writers as ( Read more... )
