I have barely even begun to read the archive, so there's much more that I have bookmarked but unread. A few favorites so far:

Battle Snails and Penis Trees - Medieval Manuscript Illustrations

I haven't read all of these yet but all the ones I have read have been utterly delightful.

The Marvels of Whitby. A pair of monks write each other about the marvels they have seen. Snails and hares cannot do battle like knights. They are too small and know nothing of metallurgy.

A Demand for Butter. Goodly reader, fair patroness in control of her own purse strings, consider then the question of love. Of battles to impress a lady fair.

Of snails.


rosy as a flushed red apple skin (never been as sweet). This is a preview only. To read the rest of this article, you can purchase it for $39.99. Or login via your institution.

This Blank Card. Consider Phlebas. A very moving and well-written look at Perostock Balveda after the book, and also a good look at the Culture at that point in time.

Written In Another Key. Dragonriders of Pern. An adult Menolly, just made Harper, solves a sort of locked-room mystery with Robinton's assistance. A very nicely constructed and sweet look at Menolly growing into her new role, with a cameo by Audiva.

We'll Have to Muddle Through Somehow. Iron Fist. Danny invites Ward over for Christmas. The Rand-Wing-Meachum holiday traditions may need a little fine-tuning. Sweet, funny, and a bit heartbreaking.

Old-Fashioned. The Punisher TV. Frank/Karen. Sweet but with appropriately rough edges, two wounded people cautiously feeling their way toward each other.

deep red bells. The Stand - Stephen King. A really imaginative/unusual, beautifully written canon divergence AU about Nadine Cross and Randall Flagg.

Seven Views of the Tay Bridge Disaster.
The Tay Bridge Disaster - William McGonagall. The original poem is famously bad - this poem on the same subject is very good, and not a joke.
