Speaking of sex, this is the one book I was disappointed I couldn't get at BEA: a book of essays about sex by women writers and edited by Erica Jong, who also contributes. She was right there! I could see her! But you needed a ticket to get in line to have a galley autographed, and I didn't have one.
What'd you all order a dead guy for?

As much as I had The Trauma over watching New Who because of the whole romance thing, having gone back and rewatched the Who of my Youth... I'm not sure how so many Ace peeps see the Doctor as one of them in most of his regenerations.
Sheldon Cooper he isn't.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Erica Jong: The zipperless fuck. Man, what a great idea.
Okay, I gotta go buy some terabytes and then come back and write a project proposal.

Sheldon Cooper he isn't.
It is official that Sheldon is ace? I kind of don't want him to be, because I don't like seeing non-NT and asexuality conflated. But we've had this discussion.
t edit That said, if he is ace, the degree to which I *really* am Sheldon is amusing.

It's pretty strongly implied, even if they don't give him the official stamp.
And, as you know Bob, I agree!
ita, if you need a word, it's probably just aromantic sexual. Which is two words, I know.

Huh. Interesting. Thanks.
I do consider it a failing of mine, which I probably shouldn't, but there you go.
