On Current Events

So there's some serious drama going on in SPN fandom right now, big enough that I feel like pretty much everyone knows about it at this point.

And...it makes me sad.

I have people on my flist on both sides, and they are extremely impassioned, all of them.

Personally, I have no idea what actually happened, so I feel like it's none of my business and I'd just like to go back to porning, thanks.

Unfortunately, I don't know if I see that happening. And it really, really sucks.

It'll blow over, as these things do, but still. I was enjoying my little fantasy of us all being one big happy community. No more.

I suppose this is what comes of stalking BNFs. Wank is bound to come up sooner or later. I just wish it had been more FANDOM wank rather than RL wank.

And now for a happier topic - NEW BOOKS!

There are a couple books coming out soon (ok, and one not-at-all-soon) that I am totally going to buy and devour the instant they're released. Here's a short list.

The White Road by Lynn Flewelling - May 25

Naamah's Curse by Jacqueline Carey - June 14

"The Wise Man's Fear" by Patrick Rothfuss - March 1 (I'm just so, so happy it has an announced release date!)

Currently, I'm reading Heart's Blood by Juliet Marillier, and it's just lovely so far. She's fabulous at writing likable female protagonists, which is a rare gift, and her worldbuilding and romances are absolutely top-notch. I could read a hundred more like this!
