The Girl That's Never Been.
Chris. she/her. Fandom Old. Aries. AroAce. She of the Terrifying Word Count. There are no benefits to being a retail manager. Purple tiefling enthusiast. Has a PhD in Lucien Nonagon, probably. Cree Rights Activist. Tombtaker Apologist. Simps For Hell in Any Universe. My ships and character preferences are not always wholesome or unproblematic and you have to decide if you can live with that.

Hey, random question but I saw a Seanan Maguire book in a bookshop yesterday (I think it’s a new one?), and I know that’s your thing, so out of interest would you have any recommendations for starting with her stuff?
OH BOY TRAP CARD ACTIVATED.
I think it mostly depends on what you’re into? Like, she has a HUGE bibliography and every story is different.
Her series are all very worldbuilding heavy, especially the longer ones, so if you want to start with something meaty and like detective novels and fey, the October Daye series is my favorite. Her other long series is InCryptid, which is about a family of Cryptozoologists. (I’ve only read the first two books of this one but I know I love it. I just suck at reading sometimes.)
Her Alchemical Journeys series is releasing its third book this summer, and it’s a weird little series are people who are the personifications of abstract concepts (the first book is about a pair of twins who are the personification of words and numbers; the second is about a couple racing to become the personification of Winter and Summer before the other candidates kill them). The first book (Middlegame) is bar-none my favorite book of hers.
Her Wayward Children series is a good stepping stone for getting into her, as they’re short, easy reads. They deal with the consequences of what comes after a portal fiction story and go into very real, very visceral childhood traumas. They’re both dark and yet very happy at times and honestly probably had the biggest influence on LitMoR.
She also writes sci-fi under the name Mira Grant and my god every science fiction she writes IS HEAVY on the science. Her zombie (Feed) series shows its work on epidemiology and my personal favorite Into the Drowning Deep is HEAVY with oceanography worldbuilding.
I also highly recommend her short fiction. If you have an ebook reader, you can get Laughter at the Academy, which collects a lot of her best works. (Also Final Girls and Invincible are amazing novellas bir are ebook-only.)
Hopefully that helps?? She’s a very eclectic writer and she has a HUGE collection of stories and puts out 3-5 new ones every year.

I think some people forget that some literature and some media is meant to be deeply uncomfortable and unsettling. It's meant to make you have a very visceral reaction to it. If you genuinely can't handle these stories then you are under no obligation to consume them but acting as if they have no purpose or as if people don't have a right to tell these stories, stories that often relate to the darkest or most disturbing parts of life, then you should do some introspection.

We don’t talk about Leia killing Jabba enough. Her grandmother and father were born into slavery. Her blood was that of the desert sand and the shackles of bondage. Leia was never more a Skywalker than the day she strangled her slave master with the very chains he used to bind her. The daughter of Anakin Skywalker was the one who killed Tatooine’s most notorious slaver, and I find that really beautiful.

I was about to make a post about like… how my family has this lemon tree out front, and one of the funniest things about having a lemon tree is occasionally I’ll be out in front doing whatever and I’ll see someone walking past and quickly grab a lemon off the tree and stuff it in their pockets as quick as they can like they’re shoplifting.
I was about to make a post about how that’s funny and how, y’know people can have our lemons, it’s not a big deal because the tree pumps them out like gangbusters, but I really can’t make that post without thinking of… them…

The wildest thing about Burrow's End, is that if Viola had used her Divine Sense even once, she would've had the most horrifying realisation

Alastor: I'm an evil unknowable monster that only does things for strange manipulative Machiavellian purposes and i am never affected emotionally by anything
Rosie and Mimzy: he's an anxious aroace sweetheart who'll do anything for people he likes and is hugely protective to the point of self-destruction, but if you let him know this he might disintegrate, so we let him know he's very scary and formidable every once in awhile to boost his confidence- YES ALASTOR YOU'RE A DEPRAVED LOATHSOME TERROR OF THE INCOMPREHENSIBLE ELDRITCH KIND! YOUR ABILITY TO CAUSE CARNAGE IS WIDELY KNOWN! YOUR PRESENCE FILLS PEOPLE WITH DREAD 👍
