Murder in the Trembling Lands (Ben January #21)

Working on belatedly writing up some books I've read lately.

A new Ben January book came out in July, and I had tremendous fun with it! This is one of the books in the series where Hambly goes Full Pulp with the plot, and she is delightful at it - buried treasure, pirates, abandoned houses crumbling in the swamp, identity shenanigans, long-lost relatives ...

Some nostalgic nattering about that )

Just Murderbot things

Check out this person's adorable manga-style art illustrating scenes from the first three Murderbot books. I love their art style!

I was thinking about how the adaptation for the next season might go.

More about that )

Murderbot fandom (and books)

I am having such a good time in Murderbot TV fandom! It's been a long while since I was in a bigger, more active fandom, and it's just such fun: loads of fic, WIPs updating daily, activity/meta/gifs on Tumblr. I haven't fallen out of love with everything else, but I am having a great time with my new shiny.

I've read all of the books except Network Effect and System Collapse, which tbh I .... probably won't? I did a little skimming for context, so I know what happens, at least.

More on that, and the general state of the fandom )

It's DONE!

Note to self: NO MORE HISTORICAL AUs. EVER!

but it's done! coming in at 25,430wds and just 3.5 hours past the deadline, it's my July Rough Trade project for the Transcendence challenge:

Title: Lighter Than A Feather
Fandom: SGA, The Sentinel
Pairing: McShep
Rating: R
Tags: Magical AU, Paranormal, Action Adventure, Mystery, Historical AU, Crossover, Fusion
Character: Rodney McKay, John Sheppard, Teyla Emmagan, Ronon Dex, Teer, Richard Woolsey, Elizabeth Weir, Ladon Radim, Dahlia Radim, and a whole bunch of surprise guests!
Warnings for Character Bashing (Ladon Radim, Elizabeth Weir)
Summary: Rodney McKay thought he was the best founder in Lanta; heck, all of Merka. But then he encountered the artisans at T&J's Linens, who make a pillow so incredible, so almost magical, people say it's like laying your head on an airy cloud. If only Rodney could discover their secret! It fully justifies him following John Sheppard around…

Warning: this is a rough trade product, which means it's hot off my kbd, no edits, no beta. This is what my writing looks like without refinement. If you want to wait until it's been spanked into shape, then please do! It will be posted to AO3 in about a month.
