Congrats, Cash, on the DH's new job.
Stay safe and warm this weekend, all you East Coasters.
Also I have a good friend who would LOVE that Ziggy Stardust action figure. As in, sending her the link right now!
Welcome to the Hellmouth petting zoo.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Because books.
(my pitch: Steampunk proto-feminist/The Riches mashup with a band of Dirigible Roma blood-oath-sworn friends for life who commandeer an air wagon to help one of their group flee a particularly odious arranged marriage to the violent scion of a rival clan, and then roam steam-Europe disguised as boy pirates and pulling off elaborate cons to survive, fleece clueless industrialists and bring down the rival clan before it destroys their own; Aenyd/Eanydh is someone's kid sister who stowed away and can't be returned without serious risk to everyone, but is a preternaturally gifted pickpocket and safecracker)
See me after class, please. This needs to be addressed immediately, and I'm not kidding. Steampunk and girl heroes are big right now, and editors love them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does FB have a dismiss button? The one good thing that came out of the gawker redesign is that when someone said something that really annoys you, you can dismiss their reply. It disappears from your inbox (where otherwise everything would stay forever) and it disappears from the thread where they wrote it.
It's sufficiently difficult to notice if you've been dismissed that you'd really have to be working it (reading the site not logged in, etc) that it doesn't tend to escalate, and although you can't MARCIE it's a reminder that arguments don't have to devolved into "last word" wrestling matches.

I, too, like the sound of JZ's book. Or the cut of her jib. Or somesuch.

Is this going to be another case of "I remember when"? I get that whenever I look at Deb Grabien's Kincaid Chronicles.

Received and replied, JZ!
In other news, I have a serious Goldfish addiction. And I really like biting into their little smiles.

Heh.
No, I'm imagining some of the writers, actually. You don't start a sentence with a numeral, people. Why don't they know this?
