I'm actually pretty new to the fandom! I only read Outlander about eight months ago after I read the LJG books. Of course then I read the next six books in about three months. Just devoured them. But I never had to wait except for a couple months between finishing 7 and 8 being published. So I can't pretend to…

Jack is literally a sexual Sadist. It's written into his character. Not sure which book or character calls him that, but that's his motivation. That and he's ashamed of his latent homosexuality/fear of impotence.

Great point about Gabaldon not making her characters too much like her. And yeah, I agree about her LJG sex scenes - they're fantastic.

The spinoff books I recommended, about Lord John Grey, are awesome because they are about a gay man (title character) during the time period as the later Outlander books.

Fuck depression.

Lindy, please review this movie when it comes out. One single ticket for Lindy, one giant article for all Jezkind. http://onegenerationawaymovie.com/feature/santor…

That's a splendid metaphor! Love it.

So they're the "crisis pregnancy centers" of adoption agencies? Yuck.

Whenever "common sense" gets trotted out by religious organizations, my brain figuratively runs screaming for the hills.

This is getting fucking ridiculous, America.

I just read The Suffragette Scandal today. I literally squeed aloud with triumphant joy when I saw that she was taking two supporting characters in a direction I had been hoping for ever since The Heiress Effect. I love Courtney Milan so hard. The last book in the series comes out in two weeks. I can't wait for it.…

Seconding this request and commenting to bump.

When are you going to write your confessional post detailing which fandoms and ships of which you read the fanfic?

Congratulations, I guess?

I agree wholeheartedly with Dawkins' virulent antipathy towards religion. I wish he would confine his clever brain to writing about science and religion, and we could all go home happy. His MRA fanclub is harming atheism and feminism and it is impeding sincere communication across social factions.
