1. Chrétien du Troyes/Marie de Champagne/Godefroy de Lagny Media fandom/Social Media Modern AU-RPF

2. Remus/Tonks-fic where they spend the last two years of their lives in a happy, functional relationship and Tonks' death isn't really, really stupid. And we shall call it movie-verse, and it shall be sort of canon-compatible.

3. The Hour/Downton Abbey-crossover where Lix Storm turns out to be descended from Mrs Hughes. (Granddaughter? Daughter? I can't work out the timelines.)

4. A Discword-story where a talented young witch meets Granny Weatherwax and finds her awesome. And then she meets Nanny Ogg and finds her awesome, too. Oh wait, Pratchett already wrote that. Thanks, Sir Terry!

5. Crack-fic where MI6 really is run by Kilgarrah, Sirius Black, Mr Darcy, Caesar and Dobby the Free Elf, with some assistance from Sherlock Holmes.

This series, while technically well-made, has made it obvious to me that the stories the show-runners want to tell about those characters are not really the stories I want to see. That doesn't necessarily mean they always tell bad stories (and I'm not three years old and they are not a kindly relative trying to fit a story exactly to my liking) but...bullet points will be rather negative.

Actually, I didn’t hate this episode. Still, the following notes is very much written in “disgruntled shipper”-mode.

Maybe it's because I have an annoying case of sinusitis and watched the episode between 2 am and 2 am (bye, daylight savings time!), but DAMN that was good.

Something completely different:
Abigail Nussbaum on Northanger Abbey, The Mysteries of Udolpho, novels and "sisterhood". I found her observations at the end interesting (though I suspect I enjoy Northanger Abbey much more than she does).

What's wrong with the Nobel Prize in Literature

You know, I suspect the author wastly underestimates the Swedish Academy's willingness to read a)contemporary English-language literature in English and b) authors that are on the freaking short-list, but on the whole, he's not all wrong.

(Though I'm mainly a prose reader, I AM happy that they finally awarded a poet, and not un-pleased that it one whose work I've read and enjoyed. Having said that, if this was the year for choosing "poet who has been on the long list for ages and is in kind of frail health so it might be high time to give him the prize" Adonis would have been an equally good choice from an artistic point of view and a better choice from a "representing large, but largely ignored by the Nobel Prize literatures.)

(Still, I like the prize and the whole silly media circus around it. Warts and all.)

Colin Morgan, I’ve missed your acting. And your ears. But mostly your acting.
