Books, fic, and that LJ stuff

I've been reading the posts to do with the FanLib debate, the LJ deletions and the other stuff that erupted over the last couple of weeks. No comments to make apart from the fact that I'm not moving from LJ unless fandom at large decamps and the FanLib project looks rather like a crappier FF.net out for profit. Yay.

I am rather intrigued by the potential outcomes of the fanarchive project.

And I have registered at fandom_counts - I had no idea there were so many of us out here! And considering that's probably only a proportion (you never get full participation in any of these things), it's even more impressive. Over 31K of us the last time I checked.

In books things, trying to read Mansfield Park while oogy is not a great plan. I've switched to Sense and Sensibility. Much less likely to hurt my poor hurty head. If I get stuck with that then I'll be retreating to nice, comforting Chalet School stuff.

In fic things, I read a comment a few days ago about Winifred Bambera and got hit by a plot bunny. Having rewatched Battlefield to be sure of my canon, I am now proceeding. Why is my first DW fic going to be about a minor character from the classic series?

Now I must re-introduce my stomach to normal food and start getting better properly.
