Re: Yuletide

If the last few chapters of Study in Honor hold up, definitely that!

I’ve mentioned it on meme a couple of times. It’s a near-future ACD analogue set in a war-torn US where the Holmes and Watson analogies are black women. Great focus on Watson as a disabled vet and a mystery that kicks off with her work at the VA medical center. Watson is canonically lesbian, and if it’s not going for Holmes/Watson outright by the end of the book, I suspect it’s at least setting that up for a potential sequel. I really like Watson’s voice, too.

The author commented on her Big Idea piece over on Scalzi's blog to say that the series is not heading in a Holmes/Watson direction. Definitely still shippable, but apparently it's not going to be canon (as of right now anyway).

Death of the author?

Depends on if the book says so or not. I'll be checking it out from the library and immediately taking it back if ace politics winds up being canon.

“ace politics”

By which you mean the existence of an ace character?

Oh no, not ace characters!

Keep on giving lesbians shitty representation with how you treat other people in the community. Do you hate bi people too?

Given how much y'all are whining about the existence of f/f/m we already know the answer.

This is why my novels will have f/f/m and ace characters and they will never include f/f alone. Because I don't want fans like you.

to quote our shiny new rules:

8. Wank goes to the dedicated drama/wank thread in each post. This means non-vaguey fandom drama, any wank/drama/vent where people's names are named, gender/sexuality wank, racewank, anything that might be considered tumblr discourse, etc.

go straight to the wank containment thread. do not pass go, do not collect $200.

I am SO PREPARED to ship this without canon anyway. I had heard a little about it but not all the details.
