the possibility of a genderswapped heroic narrative trope

What I really want to read are stories written to genderswapped heroic narrative tropes. Stories where the girl has the crisis, gets involved in all the action, solves all the problems facing her, and gets the guy into the bargain!

But they're such a rare breed of story.

I said this in a post back in September last year. But it bears reminding, I think, especially in my shift towards Sanctuary and my 'adoption' of another girl who is canonically capable of filling in the hero's role in such a narrative...

And, honestly, either Will or Henry would fit quite nicely into the role of the damsel.

Also, I bought 5 seasons of TV shows for $110. Not as good as 10 seasons of SG1 for $80, but good enough! (Big Bang Theory S1&S2, Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles S2, Being Human S1, and NCIS S4.)

quilt notes - mum's quilt

idea for mum's quilt?

Alternatively, look at using the kaleidescope block for the quilt?

Could cut out the visual panels in the octagon shape, then surround with the patterned panels. Not sure about the look, though - I want the moon and the three cranes across it on a single panel

reflections on trilogies and me

I'm not very good with trilogies.

The ones I write, that is. I always get to the end of Part II and then never finish Part III.

( it's like a graveyard of half-finished trilogies behind me )
