I know I must get used to climate change since oil companies take priority over life on this planet, but it is deeply weird to be wearing shorts as I prepare to celebrate my birthday. IN NOVEMBER.

I know that Colleen Hoover is a booktok and bookstagram darling, but has anyone here read her books? I'm starting with Verity and this is WILD RIDE.

Also, it's hilarious to me how people on booktok and bookstagram call books "spicy" and teehee about them because they have sex scenes, and then I realize not everyone is in fandom lol.

Belated posting about the Narnia Fic Exchange. I received three (!) terrific fics. The first two are for the crack crossover pairing of my heart:

I’ll See You in the Thawing Frost (24031 words) by ViaLethe
Chapters: 7/7
Fandom: Chronicles of Narnia - C. S. Lewis, A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin
Rating: Mature
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Susan Pevensie/Jon Snow
Characters: Susan Pevensie, Jon Snow, Ghost | Jon Snow's Direwolf, Swanwhite (Narnia)
Additional Tags: Crossover Pairings, Reincarnation, Golden Age (Narnia), Hurt/Comfort, Geographical Isolation, Alternate Universe - Magic, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Backstory, Canonical Character Death, Timeline What Timeline, Lewis's timeline makes no sense and I reject it for my own, Road Trips, Hot Springs & Onsen, Dreams and Nightmares, Non-Linear Narrative
Summary:

The seasons turn, and the thread of fate weaves through them, an ouroboros repeating the same patterns. A girl, a wolfpack, and the coming of winter; her loyal knight, ushering in the spring; and the burning shadows that long to swallow them all.

Susan aims to cut the thread.

omg the drama! the easter eggs! the worldbuilding!!!!

Snacking on Snow Cones (630 words) by Syrena_of_the_lake
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Chronicles of Narnia - C. S. Lewis, Game of Thrones (TV)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences

Characters: Susan Pevensie, Lucy Pevensie, Jon Snow
Additional Tags: Tooth-Rotting Fluff, Innuendo, Treat
Summary:

Susan and Lucy go to market, and Susan finds a particular dessert to her liking.

HILARIOUS!!

And I also received this fic of my Peter/Caspian dreams:

Royal Negotiations (3511 words) by Starbrow
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Chronicles of Narnia - All Media Types, Chronicles of Narnia - C. S. Lewis
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings

Characters: Caspian (Narnia), Peter Pevensie
Additional Tags: Plot What Plot/Porn Without Plot, or maybe, Porn With Plot, who can say, Pirates, Golden Age (Narnia), Alternate Universe - Pirate, Biting, Hair-pulling, Swordplay, Frottage, Anal Sex
Summary:

High King Peter attempts serious negotiations with Caspian, Prince of the Telmarine Rovers. A What-If AU of the Golden Age of Narnia, set as if the South Sea pirates who became the Telmarines had been dropped into the Northern Seas instead of into Telmar when they first entered the world of Narnia. They just kept up their roving ways. All this is an excuse for some very slashy pirate porn.

OTP BABY!!!!


And wrote this Narnia/ASOIAF crossover for rthstewart:

don't know where you're coming from but you're coming soon (4980 words) by Snacky
Chapters: 1/1

Additional Tags: Crossover, Pre-ship, Sansa would hit that with a stick, Peter's her golden prince
Summary:

None of this was Sansa's decision, but she doesn't make decisions any more.

Or, Sansa Stark makes her way to Narnia, with a few words, a few prayers, and a little help.

Dear NFE Writer,

Hi! First off, thank you so much for writing for me! What follows is going to be a general idea of my likes and dislikes, and some more specific details and ideas, just in case you're interested in that. If you're not, no big deal! We matched on something we both love, so I'll be glad to see what you come up with. Seriously, I am good with optional details are optional, so these are just some ideas -- use what you'd like, ignore what doesn't work for you. :)

Thank you again for writing for me! I'm looking forward to the story and I'm sure I'll love it!

I am on my 19th straight day of working and I have six more to go before holiday break and my students are starting to plan a revolution against... me? the school? the program? COVID? I am unclear on what they hope to fight against because we are only doing what COVID regulations allow, and I have come up with 7 different plans in the last 3 weeks to make sure everyone graduates on time, and IT IS NOT ENOUGH and people are emailing me saying, "I know you're busy but please cater to me exclusively and I'm also pissed my free gift isn't here yet" and IT'S KIND OF HURTING MY FEELINGS?

I'm just so tired.

(I know, everyone is tired of this brutal year. I just needed a little vent.)
