Re: Any Southern Literature fans out there?

I think an anthology is a really good idea, that way you can introduce students to a wide selection of writers, but the excerpts are usually grouped by theme, and the introductory essays are usually pretty decent, too. Any chance you could squeeze in a Brit via webcam? I'll sit at the back of the cl...

Re: Any Southern Literature fans out there?

Hi Alelou, I don't know if either of these would be useful to you, but Charles Frazier's Cold Mountain is pretty good, which is set during the Civil War, and Daniel Woodrell's Winter's Bone, while probably not southern literature per se, is one of the best books I've read for a long time.

Re: Which authors would you like to write like?

Hahahaha! I need to post a pic, I know! I might dig out my photobucket account and link it to the announcement thread, so not to corrupt this thread! I also forgot to add in my earlier post that I also like Karin Slaughter and early Patricia Cornwell and Ian Rankin. Cornwell's early Scarpetta books ...

Re: New Fanfic Up: 2012

Thanks for posting it! Its an old fic that was lurking on ff.net back in the day when there wasn't much of a space for non-TnT fic (shows just how old it is!) but I do have plans for a few more Hoshi/Malcolm fics. I'm a shameless Reed/Sato shipper! But I'll post my new stuff on my ff.net profile as ...

Re: Which authors would you like to write like?

Hum. Let me think. I love Jane Austen's ability to capture biting social criticism while writing what was for her time quite modern romances. I'm a BIG Pride and Prejudice fan and I have so much admiration for what she did for fiction, both for women's writing and women writers, but for novels more ...

Re: You are Cordially Invited...

Congratulations and let us know the wedding date! :clap: Also let us know if it is alright to send gifts. If so, give a mailing address! Linda, thank you!! You're so kind! I'm sure John has given you his address, it would make much more sense to send it to him rather than me, what with the Atlantic...

I just registered this - was he considered for the role? He'd fit right in, I reckon. And I haven't seen him in anything for ages. Might have to start re-watching ENT again ....

Re: Terra Nova discussion

Having listened to come of the pop songs that are in our UK charts right now, I'd welcome some Thai pop songs as a welcome respite from ex X-Factor contestants. No more Olly Murs, PLEASE! That said, I do have High School Musical on my iTunes, so I can't really say anything ..... So, JT .... if you h...

Re: Terra Nova discussion

Damn, that does sound good - for some reason the show took a 2 week hiatus here in the UK, so I fear that we're even more behind you guys - ugh!!!! Have you made good on your promise of writing some fanfic for this show, JT? If you have then let me know when you're done and where its at, and I'll ch...

Re: Terra Nova discussion

I'm pleased to see that there's a TN thread on here (although not as pleased as I would be at the possibility of a Walking Dead/'Can we please talk about how hot Daryl Dixon is' thread. Just saying ;-) ) ANYWAY ... I think we're on episode 4 or 5 right about now in the UK and so far it isn't bad: I'...

Re: Going Boldly Where No Elessar Has Gone Before!

Thanks, guys!!! JT, we were actually on my local metro back to my house after an afternoon of tea and cupcakes - how English!! We are toying with the idea of taking a trip to Scotland though, so there might be more pics to follow!

Going Boldly Where No Elessar Has Gone Before!

So I thought that I would share some pics of our Fearless Leader's sojourn to my side of the pond :-D He's been here almost two weeks now so I thought I would share a few of us on our various travels. So far he's sampled the local nightlife, the local cuisine, my favourite Indian restaurant, we did ...
