So, the good news is that, with me still being in between major fandoms, I've retreated to published fiction and am reading more of that again, which pleases me after several years of reading very little. I finished Rose Lerner's Lively St. Lemeston series and Christie's Peril at End House in February.

The bad news is that my fanfic reading was sparse, despite picking up a bit in the second half of the month, so there's only one rec:

Word of Honor Fics Recs

Like Stumbling Through an Open Door, Ye Baiyi/Xie Wang, 6k, not rated

Happy reading!

Here are some of the fics I enjoyed in June:( Beyond Evil, Word of Honor, and SHINee RPF )

With the news about Elon Musk buying Twitter today, it's hard to tell what might happen to fandom-on-Twitter. Depending on what changes he chooses to make, I could see fandom either continuing there for several more years until something else happens to provoke a migration, or leaving fairly quickly if it becomes (even more of) a hellhole of misogyny, racism, anti-Semitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, fat-phobia, and conspiracy-mongering, as "free speech" defenders of Musk's particular type tend to encourage.

I haven't been doing fanart recs here because I don't know that much about art and have a hard time talking about what I like about particular pieces, but in the interest of helping myself remember names so I can track people back down if another migration happens, I thought I'd put together a list of some of my favorite fanart that I've found on Twitter in the last year or so.

This is going to be Part 1: Miscellaneous Fandoms, and Part 2 will be MDZS/The Untamed. I'm sure I'm missing lots of beautiful art from both, so there may end up being a part 3. 😰

( Mostly Word of Honor, with some RPF, Beyond Evil, Our Flag Means Death, Cherry Magic, Tolkien, Good Omens, 2ha, and TGCF thrown in for good measure )
