Apr. 19th, 2011 08:32 pmIf you haven't read it already, The TARDIS is Now Diamonds. I received it Sunday morning in my inbox and let me just say, it is a thing I love.
Also, I really like The Chicago Code, only I watch it as a fantasy show and pretend it's in an imaginary world. Which, considering I live here and recognize a lot of the neighborhoods? It's a little weird. But, like, the politics are interesting and yet totally fantasy-ish. It's like how in cliched fantasy the heroes don't have any plans for what's going to happen in the ensuing power vacuum after they vanquish the evil overlord. As if corrupt aldermen just exist in a vacuum. Because Chicago politics isn't full of opportunists, I guess. So, basically, it's heroic fantasy.
On the other hand, the way the CPD is depicted in it make the Aurae Aurelii in my Foundersverse look super professional. I am sure the local cops are just thrilled about that.
Speaking of which, been working on that again. Started the week off at 120,292 words, wrote 1,005 last night. Posting a small excerpt; there are thus vague spoilers behind the cut:
( Helga and Rowena talk about their adventures. )
