And this seems like a fitting thing to crosspost here from tumblr. So!<br /><br />I have a big pile of books that I&rsquo;ve been buying but not reading over the years. My attention span and ability to invest into new original media seemed to absolutely tank these past five years in particular.<br /><br />But: I&rsquo;ve finally begun reading again since graduating! And I kind of want to ramble about it. :)<br /><br /><hr noshade="" /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: larger;"><strong>1. Dreadful Company</strong></span><br /><br />The first fiction book I&rsquo;ve finished in forever and a day was <i>Dreadful Company</i> by Vivian Shaw. It&rsquo;s the second book in the Greta Helsing trilogy. The series itself is highly relevant to my interests, as the main character is a doctor for the supernatural and there&rsquo;s a strong value placed in friendships and the general well-being of people.<br /><br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://grumpyoldsnake.dreamwidth.org/754.html#cutid1">Read more...</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=grumpyoldsnake&ditemid=754" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2018-12-04:3451462:322 2020-09-17T01:53:06Z 2020-09-17T02:00:28Z public 2 I’ve started writing original fiction a bit, again. Whilst trying to think of places to publish/mirror it other than tumblr, since theoretically AO3 wouldn’t be the <i>most</i> appropriate place (even if its organizational tools are wonderful), I remembered Dreamwidth exists. xD<br /><br />Honestly I still know absolutely nothing about this site, including whether it’s at all useful for fiction that’s more than a couple thousand words, but! Hey. At least I remembered, heh. Also I can’t figure out whether I can have spaces in tags, but it looks like some of the tag management tools here might be lovely.<br /><br />If any of you have any tips on how to share things on Dreamwidth (or how not to), I’d be happy to hear them!<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=grumpyoldsnake&ditemid=322" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
