You know what I miss? Tie-in novels. I used to collect Buffy tie-in novels based on scripts of the episodes. The novelization of the episodes.

What I wouldn’t give for a tie in novel about the Agatha All Along series.

Doctor Who still does Target novelizations. I wish more shows still do that.

Trek does this still but not enough IMO.

I have a weakness for tie in novels and have since I was a 12 year old science fiction fan. I am currently reading some and they are....so badly written. The writing is so bland and matter of fact it feels like reading a textbook about when this thing happened. The dialogue is all the same and the same as the narration. There are no stakes. I feel no suspense. No emotion. Except sometimes I come across a sentence and I'm like, someone wrote that profoundly boring and unnecessary sentence. Amd their editor saw it and was like, good sentence, worthy of publication. Unbelievable.

Buffy fans can have a little gaslighting

As a treat

i'm finally getting around to reading Killing Time by Della Van Hise.

you know, the Star Trek book that was so gay that it was recalled and reprinted with over 50 changes.

I got my hands on a first edition copy from Thriftbooks and decided to use a sticky tab every time something "spirk" happened

I'm only halfway through.

update its very fucking gay

[journey-to-the-attic]

the new nightmare is cool but i think not putting them in hanfu was an missed opportunity

(+ long hair version that i wasn't as sure about)

[childrenofcain-if]

Am I the only one curious af about our exes though❓ I know you've given us some idea about where they are or what the reason for the breakup was, but it'd be interesting to see them meet Mc, even if it's not in the story

they’d probably think MC has changed a lot since high school if they met sometime in the future. i had at least a little idea how to insert their meeting during some kind of holiday/class reunion but now i think it’d be pretty irrelevant. if people are interested tho, i won’t be opposed to writing a scenario for that.

A book you very likely don’t have on your shelf #685

1956

[the-real-list-of-ominous-threats]

I hope your favourite fanfic never updates for months and the author comes back to say they're discontinuing the work

If this happened with Meridian's Dominoes or the Guidesverse, I think I would cry

[fvedyetor]

do you prefer being chained physically or metaphorically ?? 🤔

side by side

Emotionally wrecked by this edit of the Call Me By Your Name movie + audiobook narration
