Women on Fire is a fabulous, original-fic, bigass-LONG series by The Plaid Adder. Don't allow yourself to be alienated because of the silly name, or because you don't like fantasy, or because you don't think you'll like feminist fantasy. You know how hardass I am about sf/fantasy-- I really mean this. It's fucking good, it's really good, if I had to make a choice between watching Buffy and getting equal weekly installments of her latest novel I think I might chose WOF.
Right now it's comprised of a trilogy of three huge novels, Taken Child, Another Country, and Darkness Bright. Then there's a 400-page prequel, Better to Burn, which is gorgeous; a short story set, "For Two", that is one of the most moving things I've ever read and I don't say that lightly; and Plaidder is currently writing the latest novel, Third Term.
The writing starts off all right in TC and matures, as the books progress, to amazingly brilliantly well-done. The universe is fascinating. The mythology is excellent.
Have I burbled enough?

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
Since we've been all HP-centric lately, I have a rec.
Jedi Boadicea has a lot of solid work. Gen, set mostly in the HPverse's near future or distant past, with lovely characterizations, and a virtual fifth year that NEEDS TO BE FINISHED. I *really* like her "Reflections of Truth," in addition to the aforementioned fifth year.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
And SA seemed to find the beginning highly amusing, so, hopefully...
That's because it was.
Good on you, both of you. Nice reading, there, for those of us who do not mind reading porn about their friends. Which would be me.

Is it just me, or are there rather a lot of people about who'll read porn about anyone, the key content being porn?

I'm reading Connie's Career Change series.
"A lot of you are mages, you all know your arcane lore, and you're used to leading and training."
"And then there's Wesley."
Snerk!
