Weekend Roundup: January 22-28 + HP Fic
Tweet of the Day: Faking Lesbianism in Pop Culture and Patriarchal Bargains ——- Interesting week this was. Both serials are on solid ground after something of a shaky start. I like the fact that I have a female MC in Wizards’ World War. I’m starting to like Gwen, a lot! Hope my readers feel the […]

Harry Potter Fanfic: Remembrance Day
Tweet of the Day: Review: Stolen Continents ——- Don’t ask me why I decided to dump today’s post for a HP fan fic, and as you will see, one so sickly sweet as this one. I guess sometimes I need to take a break from a project, let it simmer a bit before diving back […]
