Book Day! Get your Subversion on!

That's right, folks! Subversion: Science Fiction & Fantasy tales of challenging the norm, the shiny new anthology from Crossed Genres is out today.

I could suggest that this cunningly assembled anthology would look great in a stocking or under the tree, might make an excellent substitute for chocolate gelt, might get you kissed a little extra any mistletoe that doesn't get used at sunrise on the solstice, etc.

For maximum enjoyment, though, I recommend picking this thing up (in print or kindle / nook) along with, say, a beret. And then you'll want to find a speakeasy or an underground tunnel network, maybe an attic.

Or you could hide in plain sight...

Linky-dinky-doo.

Or, basically, an array of tabs I can't bear to close until I share them.

- Via Kate, How my book became part of the “satanic sex stabbing”, being one of those articles that should make us all -- but especially those of us who are somehow "other" and those of us who believe in the goodness of fact checking -- groan a little. All I can say is that I hope Ritch Duncan (one of the authors of the book in question) is seeing some excellent sales as a result of this hilarity.

- A random interview with Sam Starbuck, who put Trace out when I wasn't looking.

- Not even remotely work safe, so don't even try: The Physics of Fan-Fic Sex, which is mainly a really amusing collection of common tropes in m/m slash and how fandom usually gets it terribly, terribly wrong. Most of this has been said before, but I laughed anyway, and then I shared it with J.C. Hay over delicious rum during a conversation in which I gave Jeremy Brett a terrible nickname. As one does.

- Seanan McGuire's end-of-NaNoWriMo post is made of magic in that it links to several other amazingly useful things she's posted. If you write, go. Just, er, beverage warning on the posts about writerspeak. Radioactive scorpions, indeed.

- This is probably too pat to be entirely true, but I haven't seen any sort of follow-up: Copyright Corruption Scandal Surrounds Anti-Piracy Campaign, or the story in which a composer makes music for a specific event, and the anti-piracy campaign involved steals that music and distributes it widely.

- Things I was unaware of until this week: Chap Hop has a rivalry. Hand my my goggles. This is gold.
