chocolatepotMy god, people, it's just alternate character interpretations, UNCLENCH. Honestly, I have never seen a fandom more hostile to for-the-sake-of-it ACIs and fun revisionism.
The first four of these rules for romance writing manage to nicely encapsulate why I don't really like romance novels anymore. I mean, look, it basically says "give your heroine and hero the same personalities and circumstances as all other heroines and heroes".
Awesome new blog I've discovered, by Beatrice Behlen from the Museum of London.
I keep forgetting to do this meme. Fromshaggydogstail:
-Comment with "Winter is Coming"
-I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you better.
-Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
-Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions. (If you want. Totally optional.)
1. What is your favourite recipe?
I think I would have to say the Butter Chicken from my Indian cookbook ... but I can't remember the title or the authors and it's not here with me. But it's creamy and delicious and if it didn't involve so much butter and cream I'd make it more often.
2. Top five book quotes.
1) "I can no longer listen in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope." - Persuasion
2) "If you want to know what a man’s like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals." - Goblet of Fire
3) I have to make the admission that I'm really bad at remembering lines.
3. What is your worst habit?
Picking. I get hormonal and stress acne and I can't stop messing with it (which always makes me more stressed). It sucks big time.
4. Tell us a joke.
This is the funniest Tumblr I have ever seen, which I determine counts.
5. You've run away to join the circus! What's your act?
They don't let me out in public, I stick sequins on the trapeze artists' leotards.
