Mixing It Up

Posted in blog | Tagged , , | 3 Comments
Read an interesting post today by Kim Harrison over SF Signal, mostly lamenting the fact that there is too much romance in UF these days. Maybe there is and maybe there isn’t. The funny thing to me is that for the longest time, I was completely unaware of the PNR genre as a whole. Growing up I was strictly hard-core fantasy/sci-fi. It’s still where I gravitate to the most. I was aware of UF, but I guess it was more of the old-school sort of UF – Charles de Lint, for example, or Tanya Huff. It was well before the vampire craze took over, anyway.  (And to be honest, except for some early LKH, I didn’t read too many vampire/PNR books at all. Just wasn’t my thing, I guess.) I can admit to being a tad sensitive to the whole PNR vs UF debate. For one, women writers in particular… Read more

(What else will I have to talk about??  >_<) It ended up going a bit on the late side due to issues with blogger. The theme this week is about fetishes, and it would seem like the obvious out would be to talk about sexual fetishes, but oddly enough, none of us have so far.  Well, I talk a little bit about slash, so maybe that counts, but you know what I mean.  At any rate, on a semi-related note, I went and started a tumblr blog. Not because I really need one more thing to keep up with, but because I wanted a spot to indulge a bit of my own fangirlishness from time to time. (Without clogging up my regular blogs, that is. No… Read more

Wednesday WTFkry: NSFW Edition

Posted in blog, wtf | Leave a comment
Yeah, it’s WTFkry of the NSFW kind, but it’s so messed up I *had* to post it. Well, it certainly puts “disco stick” back on the vocabulary list, doesn’t it? I’m trying to figure out how to work this into a book, ’cause you *know* Phin would totally do this. (Thanks to Jess Haines for the heads up.)… Read more

Never really could get into the TRON movies for some reason, but *love* this song. Also love this cover of it. 😀 Hello guitar man!… Read more
