I came upon a few hilarious fictitious book titles whilst reading Leave it to Psmith. For example, there’s mention of Psmith reading The Man with the Missing Toe and the highly regarded Songs of Squalor by the Canadian poet Raltson McTodd.
Richard Usborne has in fact provided an excellent list of Wodehouse’s fictitious book titles in his book Plum Sauce. Here are some that may tickle the diaphragm in fond remembrance…
Rosie M. Banks: Only A Factory Girl
Stultitia Bodwin: Offal
Lady Florence Craye: Spindrift
Lady Carnaby: Memories of Eighty Interesting Years
Adela Cream: Blackness At Night
Percy Gorringe: The Case of the Poisoned Doughnut
The Rev. Aubrey Jeringham: Is there A Hell?
Louella Peabody: My Friends the Newts
Alexander Worple: American Birds, More American Birds
Muriel Singer: The Children’s Book of American Birds
Horatio Slingsby: Strychnine in the Soup
Clare Throckmorton Stooge: A Strong Man’s Kiss
In Lord Emsworh’s Library: Pigs And How To Make Them Pay

what’s “any resemblance to actual persons”??
I made a joke once about how if Hawke and Varric were together, Varric wouldn't want to write himself as a love interest in Tale of the Champion, and that's where all the different romance routes in the game come from - jokes about using one of their friends instead got out of hand and now there are literally 4 or 5 different editions of the book with those different b-plots playing out
The actual scene I want to eventually write based on this is the whole group at the Hanged Man, coming up with this idea and contributing to each others' versions, kind of a mix of humor/crack and investigating the RPFness of Varric's work in world
#ask#herearedragons#ty for the ask!#the title is based on the All Persons Fictitious disclaimer they put in books/movies/etc#this is a backburner wip so I haven't actually written much for it but. one day.

Wildfires in western Canada has it looking, feeling, and smelling positively apocalyptic here in the northeast USA and I’m just trying to mentally prepare myself for this becoming a norm in years to come since fuckall is being done about climate change by the people in charge 🙃
#i’m envisioning an entire planet covered in ashy air and the sun looking Like That for eternity 😵💫#having just finished another book by lily brooks-dalton about end times on planet earth it’s feeling especially pronounced lol#if you want to reinforce existential dread re: climate change in a fictitious imagining of things to come#read the light pirate#it stressed me out… but in a necessary way?#not necessarily completely hopeless but like..#whew#ramblings

Anti-recommendation: A Declaration of the Rights of Magicians by H. G. Parry.
It sounds promising, particularly to me, a dork: an alternate history of the French Revolution with wizards. BUT. Somehow, the existence of magic and an army of zombies doesn't change the course of the Revolution or the Napoleonic Wars AT ALL. Everyone has their same jobs and dies exactly on time compared to our reality. Why bother with an alternate history that isn't alternative?
Awkward ask to receive because the existence of vampires doesn't significantly alter history in Miniature Roses, however the point of my novel is not "what if vampires existed during WWI" it's "what if vampires existed and they were so, so kissable."
(As my resident historian however, you are welcome to make suggestions as to how my 'alternate' history timeline could be made more interesting).
Are there any fantasy alt histories you think are good and would (actually) recommend rather than anti-recommend?
#i say MR is an 'alternate' history because again the history aspect is more flavour and setting than it is The Point of the book#it isn't making an attempt to be Alternative#things ARE renamed but that's just so it can be more clearly fictitious

me every time I watch bridgerton:
IF IT'S STILL CONSIDERED THE REGENCY ERA, WHY ISN'T GEORGE IV PRINCE REGENT??????????
#I know so much about this family#and even if bridgerton and Charlotte are a fabrication#they still have summaries and stuff refer to it as the regency#BUT THAT PART MAKES NO SENSE WHEN GEORGE IV IS STILL HANGING AROUND#also i really am so curious about this world and how stuff works. I wish there was a fictitious history book available for it.

Ok I must say that I have complete admiration for the guy who years ago created a complete dictionary of the Lapine language just for the fun of it.
I've been trying to create words for my Xenofiction stories for about half my life, and I can't come up with anything good.
#One thing I read in the negative reviews of wsd is that the language in the book felt a bit incomplete and it's true#these kinds of additions while not canonical are really helpful.#I'm even trying to create a little song in the fictitious language of my hares#now imagine trying not to make it sound like the babbling of a drunkard.#watership down#lepur text#Lepur says#dumb dumb ideas

So in my little slow journey to becoming a book reviewer Ive discovered that the company I was reviewing for does not like honesty reviews. Instead they’ll allow books and authors to hide political agendas in books and be completely disrespectful to BIPOC communities but I’m the one who can’t get the review published because “it severe guidelines broken.” I CALLED THE BOOK AND AUTHOR OUT FOR ITS POS WRITING AND ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING HIDDEN AGENDA AND SUBTLE RACISM!
