Oh, Tafkar! Yeah, she's great.
And No Reservations Narnia is so. freaking. awesome.
Numfar! Do the dance of joy.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Damn, I really need to get caught up with Sleepy Hollow.
It's my favorite show at the moment, but I have to give fair warning that it went through one hell of a sophomore slump. S2 opens well and ends well, but there's some dodgy stuff in between.
And No Reservations Narnia is so. freaking. awesome.
It's one of my favorite re-reads. The Bourdain voice is just perfect.

Thanks for posting the link to "The Queen's Return," Sail. Maybe I've become one of those people, but it feels right in terms of C.S. Lewis' stories in a way that Gaiman's story doesn't.

That's what I liked, too, Matt.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I don't think there's anything wrong with being those people. I quite liked "The Queen's Return", as well.

Speaking of, I think I'm reading a fic sponsored by ikea. It's been mentioned at least six times in the first thousand words of a forty thousand word story. It really feels like product placement in an otherwise serious story. Now I'm having visions of fic writers having characters expound on the wonders of ovaltine and getting paid for it.

People are writing ikea crossovers, I'm told. For real.

Otoh, my kindle keeps trying to sell me a novella that is straight up sponsored by Land Rover. So who knows.

All I can think of is that bit in Anne of Avonlea (or maybe Anne of the Island?) where Anne tries and tries to sell a story and can't find a buyer, and then after she gives up Diana sends it off to a baking powder company's contest, after adding the helpful information that the heroine's baking turned out so well because she used the company's brand, and that the couple is confident in their happily ever after because they'll always use the baking powder. It wins, and Anne has to conceal her humiliation from Diana and everyone else, who can't understand why she's not thrilled.
