This is an impromptu linkspam; I'll find a review of something to put up tomorrow. (Irony of grad school: as my Japanese reading comprehension goes up, my time to read goes down: thus, translated manga! I never would have believed myself.)

[personal profile] naraht is proposing an AO3 Comment Fest! There are various suggested ways to participate at the post, but the important thing is, make an effort to comment on fics at the Archive of Our Own. I think we all know how awesome it can be to get a nice comment delivered at random.

[livejournal.com profile] upstart_crow has the table of contents for Steam-Powered, aka The Lesbian Steampunk Anthology. I am so freaking excited for this book, I can't even tell you. N.K. Jemisin's amazing story "The Effluent Engine" is already available online, and I want to read the rest so much.

The Rumpus has a map of San Francisco in quotations. San Francisco's a pretty cool (and very literary) city, and I'm thrilled to live near it.

McSweeney's has extracts from H.P. Lovecraft's brief stint as a copywriter for the Whitman samplers (you know, those collections of candy you can buy at drugstores). I laughed fiendishly, rather than in eldritch terror.

Hmm, I think that was it. All right, I'm going to go read things, including manga.

Do you know if Steam-Powered is primarily an erotica anthology? I see it's published by Torquere Press, which I associate primarily with (mediocre, in my opinion) erotic e-books. And lesbian erotica isn't my thing, whereas if it's just steampunk stories with lesbian characters, I'd love to read the anthology.

Thanks for linking "Steam Powered," it looks very interesting! :)

(oh, and I hope you don't mind if I subscribed to you. We share the same taste in manga, apparently. *points to Ooku manga stack on bookshelf* :))

Steam-Powered looks relevant to my interests. Thanks for posting about it! :)

*hopes there will be a Kindle version*
