  • Up Front: Amazons Are Not the Only Fruit,

    Excellent, thanks!

    My list of Things To Do includes talking to JPIL and VUWLR about one of them doing an issue centred around the Outgames human rights conference in 2011.

    I understand VUWLR is going all technological these days.

    I kind of like Philip Larkin's idea of "A beginning, a muddle and an end"

    Note that this idea applies equally to 3rd-year essays, particularly those on the RMA. And even more particularly to those that are due soon & whose authors shouldn't be arsing about on the internet.

    @ Peter
    Yeah I know :) Turgid in the extreme is a pretty accurate description although I'd add unreadably boring to the list. Why it's a classic is always going to be a mystery into which I shall never be initiated.

    I don't know whether anyone will still have the complete series in 100 years, but I don't think that its being aimed at children will be a factor.

    I quite like quaint & naive, hence Fifth Form at St. Clare's, the complete Agatha Christie etc.

  • Up Front: Amazons Are Not the Only Fruit,

    Heh, 140 character slash-fic parody? If I'm going to take it seriously I might have to drag out something I've already written.

    Oh do!

    I read a comment today saying that it was as if everything you did as an LGBT person was just that much more obscene to these people. Loving, raising kids, going to work... he described as 'like walking around with an enormous technicolour penis attached to you all the time'.

    Yep. That's about it. It gets boring having every bloody thing one does defined by a (relatively) minor activity. It's quite odd to watch people categorising me in this way and then slowly forgetting to as they get to know me as a person. Yes I shag women. No that doesn't mean deciding to wear jeans today is a lesbian activity.

    My (dyke) friend is so creeped out by it that she can hardly stand to be in a group of lesbians - she can't stand to be defined as lesbian precisely because of the oil-slick effect of who she has sex with. Somehow for her, being in a group intensifies it.

    Thanks Jackie. Lovely escapism, regardless of whether it's recognisable from such prior gems as Fifth Form at St. Clare's (one of my childhood faves).

    LOTR... Proving that lawyers can take anything and pick it to pieces my property law lecturer - the Completely Frickn Awesome Richard Boast, do see him speak if you get the chance - used the ring-finding to illustrate the law of findings. It's the most enjoyment I've had from that story.

    Paul I didn't think you'd actually take that bait. Do feel free to recommend some adult fiction. I'm hopeless at finding new things in libraries.

    Well Paul... I Don't Know Much About Books But I Know What I Like and that Harry Potter is a good read.

    Wellington in May will be a little cold for the doormat-jandals-pot plant look.

    Rednecks Are Not the Only Pressure Group

    Indeed, and I rather like this suggested method of applying pressure:

    @GoodVibesSF: Wants you to tweet 140 character [uncensored] erotica/LGBTQQI tweets in honor of #amazonfail #erotica


    Any takers? Emma?
