The Council of Consummate IniquityTuesday, July 7, 200911:05AM - For the particular benefit of historienne (and others)…Since she is a connoisseuse of fictional tragic ecclesiastical eye-candy, here's some I've posted to a Notre Dame community I joined of late: Current mood:  amusedCurrent music: Daniel Lavoie, Tu vas me détruire Friday, July 3, 20098:53PM - Dosto–WTF?!!!In an IMDb discussion, I described my favourite character in Victor Hugo's Notre Dame de Paris as "Dostoevskian". I think people generally know what that means. Current mood:  WTF?!Monday, June 29, 20092:10PM - 'Notre Dame de Paris': the classic cassock-ripperI've recently re-entered a beloved old fandom of mine, via a forum on fanfiction.net: Victor Hugo's Notre Dame de Paris, better known to movie-goers as The Hunchback of Notre Dame. ( Ringing a few bells... ) Current mood:  enthralledSaturday, June 20, 20099:46PM - Buffy vs the Sexist Vampire Prat…The odious Edward Cullen of Twilight meets his match. Thanks to Current mood: jubilantSaturday, June 6, 20095:53PM - I have succumbed to the cuteness……of a toy Mouse Lemur on eBay. The lemur arrived today, and is now called 'Ida', because she looks very like the famous wee fossil beastie in the reconstruction. Current mood: Awww!Friday, June 5, 20096:29PM - Hello Cthulu!Through contributing to this enjoyable fic-related thread on the Guardian, I have discovered Hello Cthulu. Inspired!

Anything that might make the over-hyped Austen entertaining must be welcomed. Personally, I think Mansfield Park needs zombies: it would explain Fanny Price, and the West Indian plot element helps. And how much better if the "single man in possession of a fortune" was a recent arrival from Transylvania… Current mood:  wickedTuesday, January 27, 20099:14PM - John Updike RIPI was sorry to hear that John Updike has died. I've only read one of his novels, but it was lovely – Gertrude & Claudius. It's Hamlet fanfic, and shows what good fanfic can do, in terms of enriching and expanding the fictional universe, in this case by referring to earlier versions of the story.
