( Notes and Prompt )

( Fic under the cut )

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 ...

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.

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.
