an original novel coming out
Yup. She says it's up on Amazon now, too. Yay her! And it looks fantastic. It's actually the first of a trilogy.
Time for some thrilling heroics.

That tag will not close until I have a copy of Temeraire in my hot little hands. I loved the chapter I saw, though. She's so frelling talented.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Damn you, wee Dana!

Yes, the teaser chapter was delicious. I can't get over how excited I am for her, given that she's someone I know only at a remove, through their fic. I mean, she doesn't know me from Adam, but I'm all Go Team!

I get to meet her next month! t dances
I will fangirl her shamelessly, I expect. It's funny -- if I "know" someone, even if I think they're fantastic, I don't fangirl them. But if I don't have some kind of relationship with them, I end up all squealy and fangirly and it's just bad.
Look, turtles!

It'll be easy. She's possibly the nicest person in the world.

I know what you mean, Consuela. Objectively I think Joss and Tim aren't all that far apart in the brilliance of their writing, but I could chat more or less at ease with Tim on those rare occasions when we've met in person whereas being anywhere near Joss turns me into a babbling moron.
Woot! Clicking the wrong link on someone's flashfiction just led me to read "Intersections" from Kaneko's website. Talk about your happy accidents...

I got to meet her at last year's Worldcon -- very excited for her book(s). Would someone remind me of her professional writing name so that I can ask for her books the right way?

Theo, Fay linked to the novel's livejournal upthread. All of the info is there.

What Dana said. She's warm and nice and brilliant, and I have often helplessly asked, "Is there anything you can't do?"
I want to be her when I grow up.
