I have an order that Q wrote in pen in the inside cover of one of them, underlying logic unknown (seems not to be the canonical chronology nor publication order).

Good luck, let me know if you find anything reasonable

DO YOU HAVE THE SECRET CORRECT VORKOSIGAN SAGA READING ORDER PAVEL I MUST KNOW

We are, I am, you are
by cowardice or courage
the one who find our way
back to this scene
carrying a knife, a camera
a book of myths
in which
our names do not appear.

God that poem is good

Actually I think LibraryThing might be, like, open-source and… nevermind, 40% owned by Amazon now 😢

Yeah, it’s called StoryGraph. Unfortunately I hate it but it seems to be owned by non-evil non-billionaires.

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

Yes! Oh I loved The L Shaped Room

I did not think I could be looking forward to this more!

Is it bad that I get NVIDIA and NXIVM mixed up

Thank you! I HAD heard about this but forgotten the name…

Thank you both! Seeing a lot of votes for this one - is it hard on the pen or…?

I like the sound of both of those, will try them out if I can find them (am in Australia) - thank you! And thanks for the warning about Carbon Black, I definitely want a low-stress ink

Thank you!

Drawn to the idea (no pun intended, I’m a writer not a drawer)

That is very beautiful, thank you! Matte is what I’m after, so this might be one to try, though I am also seeing a lot of love for Lamy black and quite down to the idea of basic black

Ooh I hadn’t heard of that brand, thank you! I am a new fountain pen person and this is opening up many exciting* possibilities

*expensive

Thank you!

What is the blackest fountain pen ink please

I really REALLY wonder what happens when her dad and stepmum hear the noise

I think about it all the time! Labyrinth is the kindest, most complex coming-of-age story I know

SHAME on everyone who has pushed and paid for this. You are not feminists. You are not allies. You KNOWINGLY work with ultra-conservative and far right organisations. SHAME on you.

Also, your daughters think you’re shitheads.

and it looks like a blob of glup!

I have been in this room for five days now, mostly sleeping, and as I start to get a bit more capacity back the main thing at the front of my mind is, unexpectedly, that I am VERY WORRIED ABOUT CAROL (from Pluribus) and hope she does not feel we have abandoned her.

(I have been super careful, my partner is 77 and has some other risk factors so we are masking, vaxxing, not going to indoor events, not eating indoors, etc. But it’s a numbers game in the end!)

Strike a light or light a lantern! Something I have hold of has no head

Sorry to hear it! May it be mild and short
