So, uh, we got power back on Friday Wednesday yay! As most of you probably noticed! It's just been too putridly hot since then to, um, think. Last night the heat broke though (I hope) so maybe there will actually be things getting done.

(We don't have A/C, see. I was telling people that all this week, and they were like, "wait, how did your power come back but not your A/C?" No, it isn't that the A/C is *out*, it's just that we *don't have it*. And if it weren't for the rest of you heating up the planet by running yours at 60 all the time, we wouldn't *need* it. :P Saturday night I ended up stringing a hammock in the laundry room so that it hung just a few inches off the cold concrete floor, because that was the only way I could get cool enough to sleep.)

Anyway, here are some things that might be of interest to y'all:

I posted to fandom_wank about a letter from 1982 that I found in a used bookstore, featuring ERB fandom. And wank. (yes, f_w is still a thing.)

Write-ups of the two panels I modded at con-txt:

The Phylogeny of Speculative Erotica, feature a lot of discussion of fanfic-sex tropes, and my Super Short History of SF Sex.

Sherlock vs. Sherlock, with list of Essential Characteristics of All Holmeses, and also a link to the canon Sayers/Holmes crossover, for those of you deniers who claimed I must have dreamed it. :P
