misuraWent to sleep hoping to write a fic for the Aquaman movie, woke up with an idea for a The Covenant fic, then sat down and wrote a fic for Magic: The Gathering. (I'm not complaining at all, but I seem to remember being more consistent in my inspiration, gah.)
Having started R. Nisbet Bain's The Last King of Poland, I've become convinced the author is actually a dimension-hopping Paarfi of Roundwood. Not complaining about that, either, but ...
Introduction: Why Everyone Who Wrote About This Topic Before Was Wrong and an Idiot and Why These Widely Respected Sources Are Wrong and Why This Special Source I Found is Accurate and Truthful (P.S. one guy did use it, but he was still an idiot, albeit a well-intentioned if misguided one)
Chapter One: A Brief Overview of the Historical Situation (spoiler: it's not brief), stuffed with Paarfiisms like 'in a word' followed by several paragraphs and (to add insult to injury) 'nay more', by way of signalling that, oops, that not-really-a-word might have been an understatement, actually
I also wrapped up my reread of the Dodec duology, which is Dave Duncan at his best and also the first of his works to include a canonical m/m couple, after a morally ambiguous bisexual side-character with an unrequited crush in The Great Game and an 'Everyone Thinks They're Doing It, But They're Not' jokey type of situation in one of the King's Blades books. The first time I read it, I kept telling myself to take off my slash goggles already, because no way was the author going there. This time, I enjoyed watching the relationship get set up before the guys decide that yes, they're in love/lust with each other (and they need to do something about that right now).
