Hey guys, just a heads up. Just got back from the doc to discover that my account may have been compromised again.
I *think* everything is okay, but if you sent me an ask recently, you may have to resend. And y’know, due warning about possible whackadoo messages or replies (though I don’t think that was an issue this time).
Now that the house is once again empty, I hope that will be the end of it.
Drama!
***Edited to say: But do you know what cheered me up after all this crazy? Well, a glass of wine may have been involved, but also all the awesome I just found in the tag. You guys are amazing. I luff you.***

Look, I get it and I used to be one of those people, who was like “I don’t hate women I just hate every female character because they’re written badly!” or whatever and like
I want you to spend some time really honestly thinking about why you hate those characters so much
I had a friend who HATED Ana Lucia from LOST, HATED her, and I was like “why do you hate her?” and she was like “She’s bossy!” and I was like “if she was a bossy dude would you still hate her?” and she stopped and thought and then said no.
You don’t have to like or accept every female character obviously, I’m just asking you to be honest with yourself about your reasons for not liking them.
Great post.
YES. Think about all of the times someone says a female character is too bossy, too vain, too cold, too insecure, too shallow, too needy.
It’s the “too” that makes for great characters.
Hi! I want to read Siege and Storm's first five chapters but i can't download it because i am in Turkey. Please, I need that. Let me read it other ways? Is there any other way to read it? :/
Last year, the publisher did put the first 5 chapters up on Facebook (same as with the first 2), but I’m not sure if they plan on doing that again. Will let you know as soon as I hear!

Alina Starkov/The Darkling
I knew he was a practiced liar. He could fake any emotion, play on any human failing. But I couldn’t deny what I’d felt in Novyi Zem or the truth of what the Darkling had shown me: my own sadness, my own longing, reflected back to me in his bleak gray eyes.

News! Incoming! Now you know why I reblog all that circus and old Hollywood stuff! (Besides that I love it!)
The above from today’s PW Children’s Bookshelf; more over at the other place!
Woohoo! Sounds wonderful

“And if he were? Would you throw yourself into the sea?”
“Not unless I could take you with me. Where is he?”
“Look behind you.”
I whirled. Far down the stretch of the main deck, though the tangle of rope and rigging, I saw Mal. He was flanked by Corporalki guards, but his focus was trained on me. He’d been watching, waiting for me to turn.

The Darkling and Aline from Leigh Bardugo’s Shadow and Bone.
Watercolor, 3 hours (maybe?). Posted on tumblr per Leigh’s request :)
From this request:
mylifeiscoffeeasked you:
You should DEFINITELY do the Darkling looking like a badass. I tend to obsess over these…
Feel free to keep sending them requests in!
Tiffany posted this on twitter this morning and I completely lost it. So gorgeous. And they’re both wearing the Darkling’s symbol. oooh la!
Is the release date for Siege & Storm the same in the UK as it is in the US? Or are international release dates going to be later? If it's later I might die/throw a tantrum/sob uncontrollably/all of the above.
As near as I can tell…
US - June 4th
UK - June 6th
So, two day delay. *still hopes for tantrums*
Download the first FIVE CHAPTERS of SIEGE AND STORM (for free!)
If you have an ereader, they are yours for the taking.
All the links available here.
Hope you enjoy!!
