You know? I'll pay someone to write me The Molly Maguires slash. It's a 1970 (I think) movie I'm watching for class, about late-19th-century Irish Catholic miners and the labor struggle.
Because McParlan and Kehoe are SO doing it.
Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.

I have a feeling I'll win for "most diverse array of fandoms."

RL, that the one with Richard Harris? I saw that. Not a brilliant movie, but it's the only movie I've ever seen about the Molly Maguires.
And yes, family legend has it that some of my ancestors on my mother's side might have been involved, as they were coal minors in Pennsylvania in the late 1800s/early 1900s.

Yes.
And I thought it was really very well done.

So I just actually read all of "A Stitch In Time," which is, wow, quite long, and insanely intricate; I didn't think there was any way it was all gonna get wrapped up in the end, but it was.
I will admit to a pre-existing fondness for time-travel stories, but I really liked this a lot -- thanks, Dana, for the pointer.

A must-read for all writers or would be writers, or whatever.
I know I err on the side of less description, and some of you on the side of more. Hints on the happy medium, among others.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Interesting, Plei. I'm a very dialogue-dependent writer, which surprised me to discover. I'm not much of a social beast in real life, so it's a bit of a shock that the imaginary people in my head are so fluent.
Though, when I finish the thing, I'm going to get more critical readers than I have in my current writing group. Most of them do very little dialogue, and are therefore impressed by the mere existence of a scene that's one long conversation. I'm not at all sure I'm doing as well as I want to on giving the major characters distinct voices.
The next project I plan to tackle is much more action-driven, which should be a good learning experience if nothing else.
