There are no stars at all for some of us

Hey! Internet! I've just been talking about how much it sucks when a novel kills off its queer characters. Especially when there's, like, one of them and they're the one who doesn't make it. Can someone point me toward a list of books where that doesn't happen? Spoilers, whatever.

It's not that they are out of print, tho' some are; it's just that sales hereafter will never pay off the advances, so it really makes no difference. *sighs heavily*

I hope you enjoy Bitter Waters. People want to tell me it's a good collection.

I want to tell you it's a good collection, and am looking forward to being in a position to do so. It has the BEST cover (even better at big print size)!

Heh - did you guys get a print? That's so cool...

Yup, and it arrived just before we set off, which is good, and no-one has asked me for imprt duty or anything, and doesn't it look good?

You have one, I take it?

We do! Still need to get it framed, but we have it and it's ours and possession is nine tenths of an art collection, maybe.

Envy is entirely excusable...
