5 for Friday and 1 to grow on

1. Happy birthday, [personal profile] executrix! You make fandom a brighter place for me and so many others. Thank you for all the years of friendship and kindness. I hope today is an excellent one.

2. I got a letter from [personal profile] havocthecat on the most luxurious paper. Now I get to write her back! Whoo!

3. I finally wrote another pen dry so I'm going to ink it up with Pilot Iroshizuku Yama-Budo ink. I can't wait to see how it looks on the different papers in my stash.

4. Like the rest of you, I watched the inauguration with joy and trepidation. I feel four years of anxiety and despair slowly sloughing off.

5. I would love to be able to post pictures again. Does anybody use dreamwidth's image hosting? Would you recommend it? Pros, cons? Link to a tutorial?

6.

Victorian Women Writers and the Woman QuestionVictorian Women Writers and the Woman Question by Nicola Diane Thompson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


All the essays included in this collection are good reads. I read it for the chapter on Ouida (which deals with the way in she anticipates the New Woman novel and focuses on Under Two Flags and Folle-Farine) but found a great deal to appreciate. I have really got to read Marie Corelli at some point; I suspect I would really enjoy her novels.

I use Dreamwidth for image hosting, but it only allows pictures to display on Dreamwidth and Livejournal (maybe another site?), not on AO3 or elsewhere. There's also not a lot of storage space, but if you're not uploading dozens of pictures a day, it'll probably be sufficient.
