I FOUND SOMEBODY WHO WRITES LESBIAN REGENCY NOVELS.  Penelope Friday has written:

Loving My Lady – A young gentlewoman is saved from destitution by an offer to be a lady’s companion–and her new position includes duties and pleasures she never imagined.

The Sisterhood –  A debutante to London Society discovers many unexpected things–but none more unexpected than a group of women who share a secret.

Petticoats and Promises – Two young lovers are parted when one of them suffers a sudden loss of fortune and social status, and they must struggle to find a way to be together.

So many people I need to tag on this? @athousandwords, @w1tchmom, uh…. who else…. @romancingthebookworm? idk but anyway

To my great bafflement, it has taken this long for Golden Hill to be released in the US – a multi-award winning highly readable romp through colonial New York, you’d think it’d be obvious, but there you go.

Anyway, here is the main character, Mr. Smith – I roughed these out last year when I read the book, but have only just made them as pretty as I’d like.

Do give Golden Hill a shot if you like

  • fun
  • peril
  • interesting characters
  • meticulous research
  • very satisfying

    historical fix-it fic 

Supplemental material – including a rather comprehensive catalogue of 18th-century slang – can be found on the book’s tumblr: @golden-hill

Chapters: 1/5
Fandom: Temeraire – Naomi Novik, Pride and Prejudice – Jane Austen, AUSTEN Jane – Works, Persuasion – Jane Austen, Mansfield Park – Jane Austen, Emma – Jane Austen
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence

Additional Tags: badass Elizabeth Bennet, Napoleonic Wars, Dragon Riders, Regency, Battle, War, Feminist Themes, Colonel Fitzwilliam has some period-appropriate Opinions that get overturned, so be forewarned, he’s a good dude though, he learns, Age of Sail
Summary:

General Wellington selects Colonel Fitzwilliam for a very singular honor during the Spanish Campaign: working with dragons– and, in particular, with Captain Elizabeth Bennet, of His Majesty’s Dragon, the Longwing Wollstonecraft.

Temeraire/ Pride and Prejudice crossover entirely to have Elizabeth Bennet as a dragon captain during the Peninsular War, with Charlotte Lucas as her uber- capable first lieutenant.

… I’m weak. Here’s the threatened ‘Elizabeth Bennet as dragon captain’ fic.

Sir John Franklin led an ill-fated 1845 expedition of two British crews that vanished while seeking a passage through the ice over the top of the world. For decades, people have searched for some trace of Franklin or his ships, the Erebus and the Terror

Canadian researchers located one of the lost ships in 2014, almost completely intact under the ice – Paul Watson writes about the search in his new book Ice Ghosts.

Check out his conversation with Steve Inskeep here.

lottie! did you find any good raven cycle fic? and if so would you share it?

lotstradamus:

I imagine, being as late to TRC Fic Game as I am, that anything I rec will probably have been read to death by everyone else, but YES, YES I DID FIND GOOD RAVEN CYCLE FIC, AND I AM NOT OKAY ABOUT IT!!!

I’m yet to find the Gansey/Blue or Gansey/Blue/Noah of my dreams. 😡 

also TRC fandom we need to talk about what constitutes “kissing” because if you ask ME it’s Blue’s lips on Gansey’s lips, which means there are LOTS OF OTHER OPTIONS!!! I am not HERE for this “our lips can’t touch each other’s bodies” crap!!! Epic Curses are always True Loves Kissy, not True Loves Cunnilingusy, okay??? OKAY??????
