Links: Fanfic Recs, a Kickstarter, & More

Workspace with computer, journal, books, coffee, and glasses.It’s still February. It’s the shortest month, but yet it feels like the longest. Maybe that’s because in New England, winter is still happening and we’re all just over it. Meanwhile, my boyfriend is going on a trip to the dang Bahamas next week! How unfair is that!

For Goodreads’ Romance Week, they interviewed several romance authors about what they do when they aren’t writing. They talked with Courtney Milan, Eloisa James, Penny Reid, and HelenKay Dimon.

Want to help out some romance authors? Donate to RWA’s Perseverance Fund, which covers the annual dues for authors with financial need.

There’s a Kickstarter for a romance bookstore! A mother and daughter are hoping to bring more romance love to the Chicago area. Even if you can’t donate to their Kickstarter, sharing always helps.

After our discussion of fanfic, I think you all need more recommendations. My wonderful friend Kay has a thread of recs for Femslash February! Lots of great fandoms are included.

Did you hear that Meg Ryan is writing a romantic comedy? Little is known about the plot, but I’m very excited to see what she comes up with.

..

Don’t forget to share what super cool things you’ve seen, read, or listened to this week! And if you have anything you think we’d like to post on a future Wednesday Links, send it my way!

    And in the category of Things I Didn’t Expect, Patton Oswalt gushing over Alyssa Cole:

    This is great: the latest Kickstarter for Rifftrax, from the folks who brought you MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rifftrax/rifftrax-live-2019-three-great-movies-riffed-live?ref=user_menu They’ll be riffing OCTOMAN, STAR RAIDERS, and the MST3K classic THE GIANT SPIDER INVASION — and the first movie will be this April! Hoody hoo!

    RWA’s Perseverance Fund kept me in the organization and gave me information, inspiration, emotional support and respite until my husband’s illness took over our lives. My mentors and fellow PRO members sponsored me for two years and would have sponsored me for a third if I had felt I would be able to continue to write; under the circumstances I had to decline. Looking forward to giving back now that I am more financially stable.

    Not sure how much romance it’ll have in it, probably some, but for the fans of darker stuff there’s a new fanfiction/art/comics anthology on kickstarter for Bryan Fuller’s Hannibal adaption:

    These awesome ladies have already put out one fancy book for this show, and I’ve no doubt this one will be just as fabulous! It’s already funded and getting very close to its third stretch goal, with rewards expected to arrive in August.

    Patton Oswalt just seems like a sweet, delightful human being. He’s one of the few things I miss about Twitter. I’m so happy he seems to be living his best life, which naturally includes great romance novels. 🙂
