When I was first compiling my reading lists, I kept thinking, “Oh, I’ve been meaning to read more by that author! And that one! And that one!” At last it occurred to me that it might be useful to compile a list of those authors from each year and then, you know, actually revisit that author’s work.

When I compiled the first list for 2012 (the first year I have complete enough records to make it worthwhile), it ended up including three Rosemary Sutcliff entries, and I realized that if I didn’t take evasive measures I would probably end up with twenty Rosemary Sutcliff books in a row in the 2013 list. So I refined the parameters: each author gets only one listing per year.

I’ve already read my way through 2012 and 2013 and most of 2014 (still waiting for Elizabeth and Her German Garden! Come on, library!), but it occurred to me that it might be fun forthwith to share my lists as I work on them, and also a good chance to get input if I’m still deciding which book to read for an author. So! Here is the 2015 list. The crossed-out entries are the books I’ve already read for this list.

~~Jacqueline Woodson – Peace, Locomotion~~

~~Rosemary Sutcliff – Little Hound Found~~

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn – In the First Circle or Cancer Ward. I have both on hold, so we’ll see which gets in first

Zilpha Keatley Snyder – Today Is Saturday (a book of poems. Possibly Snyder’s only book of poems?)

~~Ruth Goodman – How to Behave Badly in Elizabethan England~~

~~Ngaio Marsh – A Wreath for Rivera~~

Sarah Rees Brennan – Long Live Evil

Dick Francis – Whip Hand

Margaret Oliphant – probably Kirsteen, although the library has a number of others, including Phoebe Junior and Salem Chapel. Also a bunch of biographies? I hadn’t realized Margaret Oliphant wrote biographies.

~~Elizabeth Gaskell – Gothic Tales~~

Andy Weir – Hail Mary

Subscription/Access Policy: I prefer mutual subscriptions while we see if we get along well. If we mesh we can move to granting access. I don't post much under lock, but it does tend to be more personal and I just prefer to share that with someone I already know.

Fannish Interests: Attack on Titan (primarily Hange), Animorphs, Gravity Falls, Blade of the Immortal, TWEWY, Riddick series, Dungeon Meshi, Blue Period, random niche things, one-off books (I probably read more books than I consume any other form of media). I'm a forever-fandom sort of person and never really fall out of love with something once I've been into it, and there are a lot of things I know peripherally but don't write fic or make fanart for.
I like to post about: Books I've read, my own fannish activities (usually writing fic), random anecdotes and observations from life, food I've made, occasional link roundups to things I've found interesting. I'm trying to get more into posting life anecdotes too.
About Me/Other Info: Dealbreakers include MAGA types, conservatives in general tbh. I'm not into generative AI used for fandom whatsoever, though I think analytical AI and some generative AI applications have a lot of potential to improve the world. Purity wankers, and those who think the fic one writes and reads and the pairings one ships reflect on one's IRL morality or stance on what is OK, need not apply. My own journal content is pretty milquetoast for the most part, and warned/cut where it is not, but I am not into the purity police mindset and harassing others over fandom.

Ultimately, my aim is to be kind and inclusive towards others. I'm interested in connecting with others who hold the same values.

If an entry has potentially sensitive/triggering content, there will be a warning beforehand. Anyone is free to comment on my posts as well; however, I prefer to interact with others who are at least 20 or older, and I will not respond to comments by minors; I will also not subscribe to their journals or add them to my access list.

Fannish Interests: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (mostly 2003, also enjoyer of the IDW comics, 1990 live action movie, and Splintered Fate video game), Pokemon, too many animated shows and video games to name
I like to post about: Fanart, fanfiction, my original characters, character/story development, general illustration, whatever video games or shows I happen to be playing/watching, any personal ramblings that come to mind
About Me/Other Info: Came to Dreamwidth for the quieter environment and to unlearn some unhealthy social media habits. I'm mostly going to be posting fanart, but I'm hoping the more relaxed environment might encourage me to start writing again as well. I suffer from severe social anxiety, but I do my best to be kind and considerate to everyone I meet--once I open up to someone, I can become quite the chatterbox, haha.

Anyway: Over at

sid_guardian we've kicked off another rewatch - a slo-mo one this time, half an episode per week. And since we've already done the "take an epic amount of notes and write epic post" kind of rewatch, this one's going to be a bit more relaxed. *g*

He opens the door - “Oh! Jamie!”

Something hot and unwanted springs to life inside his stomach.

Jamie has been tied and bound and is lying, cramped and looking desperately uncomfortable, half-hidden under a rack of discarded lab coats and tarpaulins. His kilt has ridden up, and to the Doctor’s shame and scarlet delight he can see the indents of his own sharpish teeth, the purple bruises like berries on the insides of Jamie’s thighs, and he knows Jamie will know he’s looking too. He’s blinking up at the Doctor - his eyes are dreadfully wide and white - and glowering.

“Mmf,” he says, or tries to say, and shakes his head as a wet dog might, trying to dislodge an irritation.
