Can’t bold on my phone, I don’t think. But I keep meaning to read this one! Might make it a summer project.
Oh look I’m writing a freaking essay about Harry Potter, it’s like I’m fifteen again. But, for once, not in a bad way.

Justifiably a classic, though dear lord I wish Dickens weren’t paid by the word. And Sydney Carton made me cry.

It’s exactly what it bills itself as, and it’s a lot of fun. I wouldn’t call it a must-read, but I had a good time reading it, and if Victorian urban-fantasy-with-steampunk-in is your thing, it’s worth checking out.
wizzard890 asked: Perdido Street Station (I saw you talking about this book on Twitter yesterday and yeah wow it was the beginning of my journey to complete "lolnope" in regards to China Mieville.)

Here’s the thing: Perdido Street Station does a lot I admire. The worldbuilding is fascinating and vivid, the prose is gorgeous, and though the plot’s not the focus of the story, really, it’s solid enough that I was compelled to read on. It started slow and it took me a while to read the first hundred-ish pages, but after that I was blazing through it.
AND THEN. THAT. FUCKING. ENDING. (Spoilers follow.)

I fully acknowledge and recognize its flaws, and looking back on the series as an adult, there’s a lot of stuff I :/ at, but it was such a formative influence on me as a kid that I’m almost incapable of looking at it semi-objectively as a work of literature instead of as this giant part of my development.
And the Marauders are my soul creatures forever, you can’t take that from me.

What the hey, I could do with a mindless get-to-know-me meme tonight.
Sure! (I also reserve the right to add other categories.)

I seem to have gotten a surge of followers lately, so for all you new folks: hi! I’m Puel. I am a fairly domesticated and somewhat reclusive fannish creature, not initially native to New York City but introduced into that habitat at an impressionable age. I have, in spite of some family members’ predictions to the contrary, managed to achieve Real Live Adulthood. This means that I remember to eat things that aren’t cereal and cookie dough, mostly manage not to swear at work, and have to do my own laundry.
I used to write a whole lot of fic, though I’ve slowed down on that front for the past couple of years. You can find the most complete and organized archive here, though my recent work’s mostly on AO3 and my fic tag. I still take fic requests sometimes, and you can always leave prompts in my ask if you’re so inclined. I also babble about headcanons a lot to anyone who’ll listen, because if there’s one thing I never run out of, it’s thoughts on fictional characters.
Fandomwise, I seem to have fallen back into the land of videogames — my main squeezes these days are Dangan Ronpa/SDR2, Fateverse, Sengoku Basara, and Suikoden, though a lot of other stuff crops up here.
My about page has more details, if you’re curious, and I just put up a tags page to help you (and me) navigate some of my less-obvious tags.
So yeah! It’s cool to see new faces around, direct any questions to the askbox, and if you get me started on a) Elizabethan drama b) fictional characters who make terrible life choices c) community-based art practices or d) my fiancee, good luck getting me to shut up.
Puel out.
