elfinblazeI finally posted that last fic of mine yesterday, if anyone wants to read.
I left the house for a couple of hours after posting, because I knew I would only wind myself up with anxiety, so I went to the city and started doing some research for one of my book ideas instead. Will probably have to go again to places I missed this time, but at least it's a start.
I ended up buying Angela Carter's Book of Fairytales, which my mother wants to read now too. I had no idea she loved fairytale collections too. I may have to raid her bookshelf to find her other collections now.
Interesting read for the week:
The Rape of James Bond
I have attempted to examine the “realism defence” of the rape of women in fiction and concluded that if “realism” is applied consistently, we should expect to see male characters raped or threatened with rape routinely, because fiction consistently places men in circumstances where the threat would be signifiantly raised above the baseline.
