Consuela, could you remind me of the name of that author we were talking about at drinks the other night? I seem to recall Rosemary something-or-other, but I'm iffy on the last name and I would really like to find those books. Thanks!

Sail, would it be Edgehill? (spelling possibly different)

Unfortunately, not. That's who I keep coming up with, but it wasn't, which is why it's so frustrating. Argh.

Kirstein? The Steerswoman books?

If that's who it is, I LOVE those books. They're what got me journalling on paper again.

As far as Edgehill is concerned, the only thing I've read of hers is Bell, Book and Murder, which Jilli rec'd, and I liked those three a lot.

Kirstein it is! I thought it was something with a K sound, but I looked for Kee, Kei, Kie, but I don't know if I tried Kir. I know some of her books are older, so they may not currently be in print in the bookstore. At least now I know what I'm looking for!

I just meant that if all the fandom journals were being reinstated, and it seems now that they have been, there's very good odds that in fact a fandom journal would be reinstated.

Ah, gotcha. I still cling to my inherent irritatedness about how it was handled.

Yes, Rosemary Kirstein. The Steerswomen books are awesome.

Have people read Anthropomorfic: Making Up Is Hard To Do (Fandom/LJ, NC-17) ?

I'm including the rating, because it should be taken seriously, but the fic is also hella funny.

Yep. Funny and so, so true.

Hey, I'm going to keep an eye out for those Kirstein books. they look really interesting.

Unrelatedly, *man* have I been reading some great fic this weekend.

So there's this Farscape futurefic story, The Next Frelling Generation, which was a fantastic look at what D'Argo Sun-Crichton, and the world after the Treaty, might be long. It was fantastic, really engaging and well-done. At the time, I though there was all that there was, but I went back looking for it to send to a friend and it turns out that the author has written basically a whole season of adventures for the characters he introduced in TNFG.

It's a really ambitious project, but I've been reading the stories on and off all weekend, and they're all quite good. David Hearne has the tone of Farscape down, while deepening the original characters he created, and giving a really compelling arc-y narrative for them to follow. I am *really* impressed. This is something that will take some time to read, but if you're a Farsccape fan, I definitely think that it's worth your time. Each story is basically an episode, and they're all of a very high writing quality, which is surprising, frankly, but a really pleasant surprise. The original characters are engaging, and interesting, with their own depth and agendas.

Frankly, if this were an canon-related project, I don't think I could be more impressed than I am already. It fits seamlessly into the world as we know it. Really, really reccomended.
