First of all, a very happy birthday to [livejournal.com profile] trixie_chick!

Second, [livejournal.com profile] pinkdormouse wrote some very interesting remarks on things one must consider in writing sex and relationships. And not the usual anatomical advice, but things like whether it's plausible for someone in the eighties to be wearing silk boxer shorts. Check it out!

Third, I've been lax in my pimping of [livejournal.com profile] fyrie's Carpe Noctem series. If you've forgotten or are just now joining us, this is a delightful romantic soap opera that manages to combine Buffy, Tanz der Vampire (or the two main vampires thereof - no knowledge of Tanz necessary), and excellent writing. She also breaks my brain at least every other chapter. The last I recced was the delightfully brain-breaking Contact, which is followed now by Vampires on a Plane!, in which Herbert descends to new lows. Reason for said lows is explained in the new prequel, Over Troubled Waters.

Today will be spammy, since I'm leaving tomorrow for two weeks at the lakes. In case you're interested, I did finish the thesis and celebrated by attending a bonfire/picnic type thing, at which I ran into a friend of [livejournal.com profile] hotbeast's and other people In The Know. Four slashers stumbling around a pitch-dark forest at 1AM and using a cell phone with a Harry/Draco wallpaper as a torch is an interesting sight.

Have nearly caught up with the chapters of Buffy/Tanz that happened while I was away. All excellent as ever!

But if I get a novel series out of it...

(Also, Herbert has picked his new name for the book :D)

He likes Casper/Caspar (whichever spelling. I can't recall), for some inexplicable reason. I keep saying it makes me think of 'friendly ghost', but he says its his name and he wants it, kthx.

What about Steve? *g*

(Although since the male vampires in Family Bites are called John, Will and Daniel, a 'Steve' would probably fit in there alright.)

If people only believed us, there would be more awe and terror. Alas, they think its coincidence ;)
