I have cleared out all of my Firefox tabs except for about a dozen that fall into the to-read category! Fic recs coming as soon as I pull everything from delicious and lgbt_fest that I meant to come back to later.

Here, have some random:

In which many people write Nine things About Oracles, as inspired by a pendant.

I Has a Sweet Potato, the saga of a dog and some sweet potatoes. Obviously. (And if you haven't already come across it, Dogs in Elk.)

In the realm of bookish discussion, authors that expose their id on paper. A somewhat belated link.

Here are some truly inspired ideas for Neil Gaiman t-shirts.

Battle of the church signs!.

A quiz, for your edification and amusement, So Who Do You Think You Are?, or, which Diana Wynne Jones character are you?

I know numerous people who'll relate to Writing a Novel, A Love Story, from YA author libba_bray. Also from Libba Bray and equally awesome, albeit in a different and much more serious way, thoughts on growing up with a gay, closeted dad, There is Nothing Wrong With You.

The Secrets of Storytelling, a look at narrative, the power of story, and our brains from Scientific American. Relatedly, What do kids love most? Their parents reading to them: Study finds that children are hungry for bedtime stories.

Six Reasons Why You Should be Watching Being Erica picspam. I emphatically agree.

I like this bag, but can't really justify buying it. Ah, well.

I especially enjoyed the Queerness of Batman. :D

But I think The Secrets of Storytelling is the most important things I've had to read in a long time. Thanks!
