Other Things Wot I Wrote

I was and still am responsible for the blog, Lord Sin's Loinfire Club (Trigger Warning: Rape, like really) which deconstructs romance novels as well as write ups of our sessions playing a version of Mrs Giggles' romance novel drinking game (sadly, I can no longer find the rules on her website). Time and tide have parted the club and we haven't had the opportunity to meet up and (for the good of our livers) drink over silly books. But I still like deconstructing things and keeping a blog for my job as someone who sells costumes, has reignited my urge to write up my rants online.

So here I am.

Just quickly, a run down of posts I've been particularly fond of on the old site:

• The Great Grand List: where I talk about what I wish to see more of in romance novels
• Partial Review of The Darkest Kiss: does what it says on the tin
• The Anthropologist Reads A Hunger Like No Other: the romance novel with actual rape in it; it's deeply unpleasant and allegedly "romantic"
• Our Review of Twilight: does what it says on the tin
• Dubious Metaphor Proved Possible: pebbled nipples!
• Cult of the Butcher God: an exercise in mocking the world building of Eragon, by Christopher Paolini
• Beauty and Freedom and Angry Rant (on unfeminist retellings): two posts, each on a specific aspect of Sherrilyn Kenyon's Arthurian romance novel, Knight of Darkness

There are, of course, also all the drinking session recaps. If you like MST, it may well amuse you.
