+ In department of 'omg this had better be a totally unfounded rumour': Fox to commission a RTD-penned US remake of Torchwood? WHAT. And I am just not thinking about how I would feel if it did turn out that RTD did indeed blow up his old show then go and make a brand new shiny one. May this never come to pass!

+ In happier news,

queerlit50 is starting up, similar to

50books_poc. Read some queer authors! Tell me about them! :D My reading list for the next few weeks includes Sarah Waters' Fingersmith, Mary Renault's The Persian Boy, and Ellen Kushner's Swordspoint, so I will probably chat about those over there.

+ Also,

oxoniensis's ninth porn battle is taking prompts.

+ eta: Also! The

help_haiti auction closes in just over 24 hours. There's a lot of things still available over there very reasonably, and everything's all listed and indexed so it's easy to find something you might like.

Oh, two more things:

Someone mentions Pat Barker's Regeneration Trilogy below. AFAIK, the author has never identified as anything but straight, but if you should find some time to go beyond the challenge, I can't recommend it highly enough. Deals with queer themes, bisexuality, homoeroticism, homophobia, classism, sexual abuse, masculinity, gender roles, violence, pacifism, and the Great War, and I can't recommend it highly enough. I might be kinda biased, because I wrote about 120 gushing pages about it for my M.A. thesis, but it might be worth a try. ;)

On a completely unrelated note:

Did you get anything in the mail lately...?
