petra on history of identity porn in the DCU;

melusina on Stagegay and online performance;

beccaelizabeth on identity porn.

For the record, if somebody else gets inspired to start the fanlore entry on identity porn, I will not be upset! I can just write Admiral Naismith/Lady Vorkosigan for that square instead. :P

Whenever I read one of your yard sailing entries I can't help but think that I would love to look at your book collection. It must be impressive!

You, um, actually can look at it, if you actually want to. It's all online on LibraryThing. With the caveats that a) it is not so much impressive as ridiculous and b) that listing hasn't been properly error-checked for awhile and the tags are a mess right now.

That is . . . fantastic. It shows all the covers!

Admiral Naismith/Lady Vorkosigan

I can't help it. I know you mean this as Miles/Ekaterin, but I can't help seeing this as Admiral Cordelia Naismith/Lady Aral Vorkosigan. Which would totally be awesome, too, btw. ;)

!!! That would be awesome.

Ooh, I need more French comic books -- sometimes I can find one or two at the used bookstores around here, but I really just can't go in those places too often or bad things happen. Also, this serves as official notice that I need to call you to figure out when's a good time to meet up at Pennsic.
