I like the Merchant Princes series as light reading, but I really wish they would just get on with it already. I originally thought it was going to be a trilogy, but now I'm worried they may never end. (Unless Trade of Wueens actually ended it? I'll admit I got kind of bored with them and never bothered to pick that one up.)
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The book festival has Kevin J. Anderson in a relatively small venue. Does that strike y'all as problem? He's not the world's most exciting writer, but he has been involved with a lot of high profile books.
Another question: A fairly new venture called Story Portals [link] has various writers writing about the same universe. One prominent character, a hedge witch, is named Bel Thorne. As a Bujold fan, I find this quite odd.

Yeah, that's... oddly specific.

And... oh, dear. Someone hasn't been watching the Women Fighters in Sensible Armor tumblr: [link]
And, oh, dear, I've also found a character named Alessan, which is a bit of a problem for anyone who's read Tigana. The writing on the one story I've opened is a bit... eh.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
From Consuela's tumblr link, I got to this awesome collection of Eowyn images: [link]
Which is full of awesome, except for this (NSFW): [link] WTFF? At what point in the epic battle did did Eowyn not just lose her armor, but her CLOTHES?!?! Lady Godiva she ain't.

OMG yes, that's ridiculous. WTF.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, I love this one, and this portrait, and this Nouveau imagining, and this painting, so blocky and chunky but very alive and this faux Beardsley. And, holy shit, this.

I would so buy a calendar of Eowyn pictures. Gah. Right now I'm trying to pick one to use as a desktop.

Because books.
I love the Nouveau one.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I like this one, for the expression. I like that all we see of the Nazgul is the shadow, but the rest of the shadows in the picture are off.
