⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Never King by Nikki St. Crowe

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hooked by Emily McIntire

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Haunting Adeline by H. D. Carlton

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hunting Adeline by H. D. Carlton

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Dark One by Nikki St. Crowe

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Secrets in Shadows and Blood by Lana Pecherczyk

⭕️ Three Swedish Mountain Men by Lily Gold

—————————————————————————————

(I’ve decided to add short little reviews/comments for each book explaining why I starred them the way I did.)

—

The Never King and The Dark One by Nikki St. Crowe were both 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I very much enjoyed the spin the author put on the classic Peter Pan stories. (Also just enjoying the reverse harem fantasy romance.)

My only nit-pick is that I wish both stories were either longer by about 100 pages, or combined. The story is so short and most of it smut, that I feel like I’m being rushed through the book and missing out on a really well-built world. Very much looking forward to The Vicious Darling in September (I believe).

I’m going to wait to finish the series before buying any physical copies. I’m leaning towards hoping to find the finished series in just one giant book, since these two so far have been averaged about 200 pages only.

I read both on Kindle Unlimited.

—

Hooked by Emily McIntire was also 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I read this right after The Never King, so it was two Peter Pan retelling a back-to-back. This one is contemporary, not fantasy, romance. It’s also MF and not RH. Also, as I’m sure you could guess from the title, Hooked’s main male character is Captain Hook.

Hooked is a standalone, and a good mafia-type story that seems to be pretty popular on Tiktok right now. It wasn’t super short but it was a quick read and I’ll definitely be buying a physical copy for my shelf.

I read this on Kindle Unlimited.

—

Haunting Adeline and Hunting Adeline by H. D. Carlton we’re also both 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Haunting Adeline is a story about a man who stalks a woman named Adeline. Obviously, in real life these events would have a different connotation behind them, and readers should definitely be aware of triggers and warnings. (I believe the story is labeled with dub-con warnings but I would go ahead and just say non-con, for Haunting Adeline. For Hunting Adeline, it’s full on rape.)

These two books were honestly great. Zade is one of my favorite male characters I’ve ever read, he’s so well-written and charming. Adeline I found to be very easy to connect to.

Also the sex scenes were great. 😏 I will also be purchasing physical copies of these two books for my personal shelf.

I read both of these on Kindle Unlimited.

—

The Secrets in Shadow and Blood by Lana Pecherczyk was 4 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I read this as a stand-alone, though I do believe it’s part of a series. (Looks it up on Goodreads…) Yes, it’s the first in the Season of the Vampire series, and fourth in the Fae Guardians series by LP. The main characters (the couples) change every book, though it’s set in the same world.

I voted 4 stars for this book, although that’s entirely subject to change. I believe I didn’t completely connect with the story because it took me so long to adjust to the world (my reason for only four stars), which is my fault for starting in the middle of an on-going series.

It was very good fantasy romance, there’s not much I can say. It’s honestly a bit unmemorable for me, as I’ve read short fantasy romances a lot when I was a teen. They all kind of blend together after a while, but it was still very good and worth reading. I may check out the beginning of the series because it was so good, but I’m not totally into series that change couples every book. For instance, I’ve read one book out of the vampire romance series by J. R. Ward and one book in the heart series by Robin D. Owens. I’ve meant to go back to read the rest of the series of both authors for years now and just… haven’t.

I read this book on Kindle Unlimited.

—

My current read is Three Swedish Mountain Men by Lily Gold.

Reading it on Kindle Unlimited. My hope is just for a short steamy RH stand-alone.

—

is there a name for book series that are romantic and change couples every book?

Wolfsong - Book Review

Title: Wolfsong

Creator: TJ Klune

Online Rating: 4.36/5

Personal Rating: 5/5

Warning(s): Sexual content, Loss of virginity, Murder, Violence, Implied child abuse, Mentions of rape, Supernatural, M/M, and Gore.

Standalone, or Series: Series - 4 Books - Completed

Pages: 494

Summary: Ox was twelve when his daddy taught him a very valuable lesson. He said that Ox wasn’t worth anything and people would never understand him. Then he left. Ox was sixteen when he met the boy on the road. The little boy who talked and talked and talked. Ox found out later the little boy hadn’t spoken in almost two years before that day, and that the little boy belonged to a family who had moved into the house at the end of the lane. Ox was seventeen when he found out the little boy’s secret and it painted the world around him in colors of red and orange and violet, of Alpha and Beta and Omega. Ox was twenty-three when murder came to town and tore a hole in his head and heart. The boy chased after the monster with revenge in his bloodred eyes, leaving Ox behind to pick up the pieces. It’s been three years since that fateful day—and the boy is back. Except now he’s a man, and Ox can no longer ignore the song that howls between them.

Review: Absolutely F***ING AMAZING! This is definitely a good book! So good with every. Single. PART and WORD! The details and the way T.J. wrote this book was perfection. He wrote this so well and so fantastic I can’t get over it. I don’t think I’ve been so into a book like I am with this one in a long time. Every scene had meaning, and was overall perfect! I can’t stress the word perfect enough 😂 I was over the moon for this book. TJ doesn’t write overly long sentences or paragraphs, but it all had so much meaning behind it. How he explained how the Bennett’s lived, how to be a wolf, the differences between everything and anything! You’ll never be confused about anything, even the kinda complicated parts or information.

Ox is a very shy, lonely, and kinda a depressed kid in the beginning and maybe even near the end of the book. He meets a kid named Joe, who before they met hasn’t spoken in over a year, and they just instantly click. Joe is my little bean! I just want to cuddle him and give him the world! He’s destined to be the next Alpha of his pack, following in his fathers footsteps. He went through some very traumatic things at a young age that nearly broke him. When he met Ox, he instantly knew he was going to be his everything and more to him. This book is full of love and family - pack pack pack - and they can’t stress the word “Pack” enough. To the point it’s always said three times! Even when tragedy keeps striking, they keep each other close with the bond of their pack. Even if it means very drastic measures have to be taken. Without each other they are like lone wolves, and with that, they keep each other close in their hearts. I highly recommend this book to EVERYONE (16 and up at least.) And I promise on my f***ing soul, you will not regret reading this. I’m waiting for this to be a movie to be honest. 5 stars, but I wish I could give it more.

I also tend to compare this book, and the whole series honestly, to other alpha/omega books because it just makes so much sense and is so good. You’ll meet a lot of interesting and amazing characters in this book. The series isn’t just about Ox and Joe, so the other books are slightly different, but the book series is overall about the Bennett pack.

Negatives: The epilogue wasn’t enough. I felt it was to quick of a scene because it was a slow-burn for well... that! Even though this book was not about sex at all really, they were always talking about mating and how they wanted to mate so badly. There should have been more than just two/three pages in my opinion.

The true crime short stories within this three-book collection are unimaginably gruesome. I start all of my True Crime books with a quick word of warning. Most news articles and television true crime shows skim over the vile details of truly horrible crimes. In my books, I don’t gloss over the facts, regardless of how disgusting they may be. I try to give my readers a clear and accurate description of just how demented the killers really were. I do my best not to leave anything out. The stories included in these books are not for the squeamish. What you are about to read are Volumes 4, 5, and 6 of the True Crimes Case Histories Series. The stories in this collection will make you realize just how fragile the human mind can be. A sampling of the 36 stories includes: The Darlington Cannibal: The story of a young English man that had plans to become the UK’s most notorious serial killer but couldn’t keep his mouth shut after his first kill and bragged to over twenty of his friends. The Carnival Cult: A group of four young men who believed they could do anything they wanted because their lord Satan protected them. Satan apparently couldn’t protect them from prison. Dead in the Water: A father of eight children lured women to his boat, raped them, and threw them overboard. Ingenious forensic science was eventually used to catch the killer. The Crossbow Killer: A young, intelligent man that would rather kill his entire family with a crossbow than tell his girlfriend that he had been lying to her. The Broomstick Killer: The Texas Penal System failed to protect the people of Texas by releasing a brutal killer of three teenagers. As a result, he killed as many as eleven more women. Body in the Bag: A young man obsessed with the macabre followed voices in his head when his teenage girlfriend dumped him. Authorities found her eight weeks later stuffed inside a duffel bag. The Copper Gulch Killer: A sixteen-year-old prodigy child is found with five gunshots from three different guns, but police are convinced there was only one killer. Ten years later, crime scene evidence is found in an abandoned storage locker. The Incest Killer: Katie Fusco learned she was adopted when she was eighteen. Within a year, she was married to her biological father and pregnant with his child. When authorities force them apart, everybody dies. Plus, 21 more truly disturbing true crime stories.

12 Do's and Don'ts for a Successful Romance Novels

Here is an author named Amy Carroll Bennett. She has been an author for 2 years in October but has been writing her whole life. Amy is an author that writes romance novels.

This is what she said about why she became an author and why he loves to read and write "Right now I use my real name on my books. I may use a pen name for others. I have always enjoyed storytelling. It's a wonderful way to escape for both readers and writers.”

12 Do’s and Don’ts for a Successful Romance Novels:

Romance novels are easy to write, right? Person meets person. They fall in love. They live happily ever after. Simple, eh? Except it’s not. Writing romance takes a lot of thought and careful planning. There are many factors to consider when building a believable romance between characters. I have compiled a dozen dos and don’ts to follow when writing a romance novel. This is not an exhaustive list, just the main things I think are important for writing a good love story.

#1- Do create three-dimensional characters. This should go without saying for any genre, but flat characters seem to be a problem for many romance writers. Characters should be more than attractive in order to have another character fall in love with them. They should have real personalities rather than just good looks. A long-lasting connection between characters is not going to be believable if their only qualities are that they are hot.

#2- Don’t employ questionable age differences. Yes, people do fall in love with people significantly older or younger than them. However, sometimes the age difference goes beyond what is acceptable and appropriate. For example, a 40-something year old man has no business trying to have a relationship with an 18 year old. It’s not romantic, it’s creepy.

#3- Do give your lovers believable chemistry. No one is going to accept the relationship between your characters if they don’t connect on a deeper level. They need to be more than flirty. They need to go through difficulties together. They need to complement one another. Balance each other out. This goes hand-in-hand with three-dimensional characters. Their relationship will not be believable if all they have between them is sexual attraction.

#4- Don’t make a character fall in love with someone who sexually abuses or rapes them. Do I really need to explain why? I don’t know why writers continue to do this in this day and age. It’s not sexy, it’s gross and very, very wrong. Just don’t do it.

#5- Do write more than hetero couples. Heads up, there are many different types of relationships out there. It’s fine to write hetero, but non-hetero couples need more representation. Venture out of the boy-meets-girl box and try a new pairing.

#6- Don’t forget your target audience. If you’re writing for teens, you probably don’t want to venture into erotic territory. If you’re writing for a demographic that loves a spicy romance, you better make sure you pay off with a good sex scene or two. Think about what types of readers you are trying to attract and then write accordingly.

#7- Do make your love scenes believable (and physically possible.) If you choose to write a spicy scene, make sure you know the ins and outs (pun intended) of doing the deed. Nothing takes a reader out of the story like a love scene involving strange body contortions or impossible positioning. It’s a romance novel, not a Khajuraho love temple.

#8- Don’t go overboard on the tropes. Ok, confession time:I love a story involving a trope like only one bed or enemies to lovers (bonus points if they combine the two!) but unless you can bring something new to the table, you may want to steer clear of overused tropes. If you must employ a trope, try switching it up. Do a gender swap or something equally surprising. It’ll be satisfying on so many levels.

#9- Do give some resolution. The only thing better than some good old UST (unresolved sexual tension) is some RST (resolved sexual tension.) Building up the tension between the characters is a great way to get readers invested in the story. However, if the lovers haven’t had so much as a kiss by the time a reader is two-thirds of the way in, they’re not going to be happy.

#10- Don’t do Instalove. While you shouldn’t drag out the love action between the characters, you shouldn’t make things happen too quickly either. There may be an initial spark between the characters, but they shouldn’t automatically be madly in love with each other. A large part of your story should be about the characters getting to know one another. It doesn’t have to be a slow burn, but it should still take some time.

#11- Do end happily. People reading in the romance genre go in with the expectation of a happy ending. Characters fall in love and get married and live happily ever after. Even if you don’t do an HEA, you should at least give the characters an optimistic resolution. Romance is not the genre for tragic endings.

#12- Don’t follow trends. Maybe vampire romances are popular, or zombie romances, or werewolf alien robot romances. Chances are, by the time you crank out your vampire/zombie/werewolf-alien-robot romance, the trend will be over and readers will be on to the next big thing. Rather than follow trends, use your imagination to create a compelling and buzzworthy story. Do something new. People are probably tired of vampires and zombies and werewolf alien robots anyway.

Post Season 8 fanfic recommendations

Hey! So, I’ve been working on this for a while. I’ve read so many good Hyde/Jackie stories, and I feel like it’s a waste not to share them.

I tried to separate everything in categories, but some fics fit in more than one category and honestly it was just a mess. So I've separated them the best way that I could. I’m going to post the categories separately, and after I’m done I’ll make a masterpost with links to each of the categorized posts, as suggested by @springsteenicious and @those70scomics (thank you both for the help!).

Even though this is only one category, it’s still a long post, as I’ve said before, I’ve read many fanfics. I don’t know if I should edit this and add more stories as they’re out (for instance, I have a post season 8 story that I’m planning on posting soon) or if I should just leave things this way. Please let me know if you think I left out a good story or if you have any suggestions.

I’ve read and enjoyed ALL of these stories, they’re all very good. All the stories mentioned here are post season 8 stories. I’ll post stories that take place during season 8 next. I hope everyone enjoys it!

20 Questions by ShanghaiLily

Now, stuck back around 1978 - she's left in the worst situation possible to figure out where to go from there.

This story is a WIP, it’s been a while since it was updated, but I’m pretty sure the author is coming back to this story one day!

14k words, 4 chapters.

Rated T.

Pairings: Jackie/Hyde, Eric/Donna, past Jackie/Eric

Reelin’ In The Years by JoyfulHeartEO

I placed this story on the post-season 8 category, but there are some small differences that made me kind of lost in what category to place this. Season 8 happened, but Sam never left and Jackie and Fez never happened. It takes place on New Years.

Rated M. Very much M. You’ve been warned.

Hyde's life has snowballed since Jackie's death. He moved back in with the Formans, Donna and Eric live far away, Fez was who the hell knows where, and Kelso....Hyde didn't think about Kelso. But one cold rainy night, while Hyde is drunk he causes an accident that sends him spiraling back in time to almost ten years ago, when everyone still liked each other. When Jackie was still alive.

This story made me cry so hard. It’s beautifully written, please read it.

It’s a WIP (work in progress, which means it’s being updated).

32k words, 15 chapters for now.

Trigger warning: Major Character death

Ted Bundy

Ted Bundy, born Theodore Robert Cowell on November 24, 1946, was one of the most notorious American serial killers. He is known to have kidnapped, raped and killed at least 36 young women in 1970s and probably earlier. He was executed in the electric chair in 1989. His murders have inspired many novels and films about serial killers.

Photo of Ted Bundy

His mother was Eleanor Louise Cowell, who was 22 years old and unmarried when she gave birth to Bundy. His biological father's identity may never be confirmed, since on his birth certificate the father was listed as unknown; also, some rumours identify his father as his grandfather. For the first three years of his life, Bundy lived with his maternal grandparents and was told that his mother was his sister. He eventually discovered the truth and expressed a lifelong resentment toward his mother for never talking to him about his true parentage. In 1951 Louise met and married Johnny Culpepper Bundy, a hospital cook, and later that year the couple officially adopted Bundy, that took his name. He had a tense relationship with his stepfather, and complained to his girlfriend that Johnny "wasn't very bright” and "didn't make much money".

Ted Bundy’s parents, Eleanor Louise Cowell and Johnny Culpepper Bundy

After graduating from high school in 1965, Bundy attended the University of Puget Sound for one year before transferring to the University of Washington. There, he fell in love with Stephanie Brooks, a wealthy and lovely young woman from California. He was devastated by their breakup, and many of his following victims resembled his college girlfriend. He graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in psychology in 1972.

Attacks and murders

There is no consensus on when or where Bundy began killing women. He told different stories to different people and refused to reveal the specifics of his first crimes. For example, he told his mother that he attempted his first kidnapping in 1969 in Ocean City, New Jersey, but did not kill anyone until 1971 in Seattle, yet told psychologist Art Norman that he had killed two women in Atlantic City in 1969.

Homicide detective Robert D. Keppel and biographer Ann Rule, who had previously worked with Bundy, both believed that he might have started killing as a teenager. Circumstantial evidence suggested that he may have kidnapped and killed eight-year-old Ann Marie Burr when he was 14 years old, but he repeatedly denied. His earliest documented homicides were committed in 1974, at the age of 27. The disappearances all took place at night, usually near ongoing construction work, and the victims were all young, attractive, and with long hair parted in the middle; at most crime scenes there were sightings of a man wearing a cast or a sling, and driving a brown or tan Volkswagen Beetle.

Photos of Ted Bundy's 1968 Volkswagen Beetle, in which he committed many of his crimes. The vehicle is on display at the National Museum of Crime and Punishment.

Items found in his car when he was arrested in 1975

His first confirmed attack occurred shortly after midnight on January 4, 1974, when Bundy entered the apartment of Joni Lenz. After bludgeoning her with a metal rod from her bed frame, he sexually assaulted her with either the same rod or a metal speculum. She survived, but with permanent physical and mental disabilities. In the early morning of February 1, 1974, Bundy broke into the room of Lynda Ann Healy; he beat her unconscious, dressed her in blue jeans, a white blouse, and boots, and carried her away. On March 12, Donna Gail Manson, left her dormitory to attend a jazz concert on campus, but never arrived. On April 17, Susan Elaine Rancourt disappeared while on her way to her dorm room after an advisors' meeting at Central Washington State College in Ellensburg. On May 6, Roberta Kathleen Parks left her dormitory to have coffee with her friends at the Memorial Union, but never arrived. On June 1, Brenda Carol Ball disappeared after leaving the Flame Tavern in Burien, near Seattle; she was last seen in the parking lot, talking to a brown-haired man. On June 11, UW student Georgann Hawkins disappeared while walking to her sorority house.

The murders culminated on July 14, 1974, when Bundy abducted two women, Denise Marie Naslund and Janice Anne Ott, in the daylight and from crowded areas. Five female witnesses said that a good-looking young man, who introduced himself as "Ted", asked their help to unload a sailboat from his car. Four girls refused, but one agreed and accompanied him to his car. She saw there was no sailboat and fled. Using the same story, he approached and abducted Janice Anne Ott and, approximately four hours later, Denise Marie Naslund. On September 6, 1974, two grouse hunters found the skeletal remains of the two girls near a service road in Issaquah. After these happenings, King County police disclosed a composite sketch, that was printed in regional newspapers and transmitted on local television stations. These are not the only murders that he committed, as it is believed that he has killed more than a hundred women.

Arrests, last murders and death

On August 16, 1975, Utah Highway Patrol officer Bob Hayward arrested Bundy in Granger (a Salt Lake City suburb). The officer searched the car after he noticed that the front passenger seat had been removed and placed on the back seats. Inside he found a ski mask, a second mask created from pantyhose, a crowbar, handcuffs, trash bags, a rope, an ice pick, and other items. The police did not have enough evidence to detain Bundy, so he was released. Afterwards, Salt Lake City police placed him on 24-hour surveillance.

Ted Bundy's 1975 Utah mug shot

In September Bundy sold his Volkswagen Beetle to a Midvale teenager and Utah police impounded it. Inside the car, FBI technicians found hairs of Caryn Campbell, and some hair strands "microscopically indistinguishable" from those of Melissa Smith and Carol DaRonch. There was sufficient evidence to charge him with aggravated kidnapping and attempted criminal assault in the DaRonch case. Further investigation confirmed that he had not been with his girlfriend on any of the nights when the Pacific Northwest victims had vanished. In February 1976 Bundy stood trial for the DaRonch kidnapping, and after a four-day bench trial and a weekend of deliberation, he was found guilty. In June he was sentenced to 15 years in the Utah State Prison, and after a period of resistance he was transferred to Aspen in January 1977.

While in the Pitkin County Courthouse's library, in Aspen, he opened a window and jumped out, managing to run away. He was a fugitive for six days, until two police officers found him and brought him back in jail. He planned his escape a second time; he sawed a hole of about one square foot between the steel reinforcing bars in his cell's ceiling and, on the night of December 30, stacked books on his bed to simulate his body, climbed into the crawl space and escaped.

After evading, he travelled from Aspen to Tallahassee, Florida, passing from Chicago, Ann Arbor and Atlanta. There, on January 15, he attacked another five women, Margaret Bowman and Lisa Levy who died, Kathy Kleiner, Karen Chandler and Cheryl Thomas who survived. On February 8 he attacked another woman, Kimberly Dianne Leach; her partially mummified remains were found in a pig farrowing shed near Suwannee River State Park, near Lake City. He was arrested four days later by police officer David Lee for having stolen a car.

Two of Ted Bundy’s victims

After numerous trials and three death sentences, Bundy was executed at 7:16 a.m. on January 24, 1989, at the Florida State Prison in an electric chair. Outside the prison, hundres of people cheered, sang, danced and even set off fireworks. His body was cremated in Gainesville, and no public ceremony was held.

Ida Lupino (4 February 1918 – 3 August 1995) was an English-American actress, singer, director, and producer. She is widely regarded as the most prominent female filmmaker working in the 1950s during the Hollywood studio system. With her independent production company, she co-wrote and co-produced several social-message films and became the first woman to direct a film noir with The Hitch-Hiker in 1953. Among her other directed films the best known are Not Wanted about unwed pregnancy (she took over for a sick director and refused directorial credit), Never Fear (1949) loosely based upon her own experiences battling paralyzing polio, Outrage (1950) one of the first films about rape, The Bigamist (1953) (which was named in the book 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die) and The Trouble with Angels (1966).

Throughout her 48-year career, she made acting appearances in 59 films and directed eight others, working primarily in the United States, where she became a citizen in 1948. As an actress her best known films are The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1939) with Basil Rathbone, They Drive by Night (1940) with George Raft and Humphrey Bogart, High Sierra (1941) with Bogart, The Sea Wolf (1941) with Edward G. Robinson and John Garfield, Ladies in Retirement (1941) with Louis Hayward, Moontide (1942) with Jean Gabin, The Hard Way (1943), Deep Valley (1947) with Dane Clark, Road House (1948) with Cornel Wilde and Richard Widmark, While the City Sleeps (1956) with Dana Andrews and Vincent Price. and Junior Bonner (1972) with Steve McQueen.

She also directed more than 100 episodes of television productions in a variety of genres including westerns, supernatural tales, situation comedies, murder mysteries, and gangster stories. She was the only woman to direct an episode of the original The Twilight Zone series ("The Masks"), as well as the only director to have starred in an episode of the show ("The Sixteen-Millimeter Shrine").

Lupino was born in Herne Hill, London, to actress Connie O'Shea (also known as Connie Emerald) and music hall comedian Stanley Lupino, a member of the theatrical Lupino family, which included Lupino Lane, a song-and-dance man. Her father, a top name in musical comedy in the UK and a member of a centuries-old theatrical dynasty dating back to Renaissance Italy, encouraged her to perform at an early age. He built a backyard theatre for Lupino and her sister Rita (1920–2016), who also became an actress and dancer. Lupino wrote her first play at age seven and toured with a travelling theatre company as a child. By the age of ten, Lupino had memorised the leading female roles in each of Shakespeare's plays. After her intense childhood training for stage plays, Ida's uncle Lupino Lane assisted her in moving towards film acting by getting her work as a background actress at British International Studios.

She wanted to be a writer, but in order to please her father, Lupino enrolled in the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. She excelled in a number of "bad girl" film roles, often playing prostitutes. Lupino did not enjoy being an actress and felt uncomfortable with many of the early roles she was given. She felt that she was pushed into the profession due to her family history.

Lupino worked as both a stage and screen actress. She first took to the stage in 1934 as the lead in The Pursuit of Happiness at the Paramount Studio Theatre.[10] Lupino made her first film appearance in The Love Race (1931) and the following year, aged 14, she worked under director Allan Dwan in Her First Affaire, in a role for which her mother had previously tested.[11] She played leading roles in five British films in 1933 at Warner Bros.' Teddington studios and for Julius Hagen at Twickenham, including The Ghost Camera with John Mills and I Lived with You with Ivor Novello.

Dubbed "the English Jean Harlow", she was discovered by Paramount in the 1933 film Money for Speed, playing a good girl/bad girl dual role. Lupino claimed the talent scouts saw her play only the sweet girl in the film and not the part of the prostitute, so she was asked to try out for the lead role in Alice in Wonderland (1933). When she arrived in Hollywood, the Paramount producers did not know what to make of their sultry potential leading lady, but she did get a five-year contract.

Lupino starred in over a dozen films in the mid-1930s, working with Columbia in a two-film deal, one of which, The Light That Failed (1939), was a role she acquired after running into the director's office unannounced, demanding an audition. After this breakthrough performance as a spiteful cockney model who torments Ronald Colman, she began to be taken seriously as a dramatic actress. As a result, her parts improved during the 1940s, and she jokingly referred to herself as "the poor man's Bette Davis", taking the roles that Davis refused.

Mark Hellinger, associate producer at Warner Bros., was impressed by Lupino's performance in The Light That Failed, and hired her for the femme-fatale role in the Raoul Walsh-directed They Drive by Night (1940), opposite stars George Raft, Ann Sheridan and Humphrey Bogart. The film did well and the critical consensus was that Lupino stole the movie, particularly in her unhinged courtroom scene. Warner Bros. offered her a contract which she negotiated to include some freelance rights. She worked with Walsh and Bogart again in High Sierra (1941), where she impressed critic Bosley Crowther in her role as an "adoring moll".

Her performance in The Hard Way (1943) won the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Actress. She starred in Pillow to Post (1945), which was her only comedic leading role. After the drama Deep Valley (1947) finished shooting, neither Warner Bros. nor Lupino moved to renew her contract and she left the studio in 1947. Although in demand throughout the 1940s, she arguably never became a major star although she often had top billing in her pictures, above actors such as Humphrey Bogart, and was repeatedly critically lauded for her realistic, direct acting style.

She often incurred the ire of studio boss Jack Warner by objecting to her casting, refusing poorly written roles that she felt were beneath her dignity as an actress, and making script revisions deemed unacceptable by the studio. As a result, she spent a great deal of her time at Warner Bros. suspended. In 1942, she rejected an offer to star with Ronald Reagan in Kings Row, and was immediately put on suspension at the studio. Eventually, a tentative rapprochement was brokered, but her relationship with the studio remained strained. In 1947, Lupino left Warner Brothers and appeared for 20th Century Fox as a nightclub singer in the film noir Road House, performing her musical numbers in the film. She starred in On Dangerous Ground in 1951, and may have taken on some of the directing tasks of the film while director Nicholas Ray was ill.

While on suspension, Lupino had ample time to observe filming and editing processes, and she became interested in directing. She described how bored she was on set while "someone else seemed to be doing all the interesting work".

She and her husband Collier Young formed an independent company, The Filmakers, to produce, direct, and write low-budget, issue-oriented films. Her first directing job came unexpectedly in 1949 when director Elmer Clifton suffered a mild heart attack and was unable to finish Not Wanted, a film Lupino co-produced and co-wrote. Lupino stepped in to finish the film without taking directorial credit out of respect for Clifton. Although the film's subject of out-of-wedlock pregnancy was controversial, it received a vast amount of publicity, and she was invited to discuss the film with Eleanor Roosevelt on a national radio program.

Never Fear (1949), a film about polio (which she had personally experienced replete with paralysis at age 16), was her first director's credit. After producing four more films about social issues, including Outrage (1950), a film about rape (while this word is never used in the movie), Lupino directed her first hard-paced, all-male-cast film, The Hitch-Hiker (1953), making her the first woman to direct a film noir. The Filmakers went on to produce 12 feature films, six of which Lupino directed or co-directed, five of which she wrote or co-wrote, three of which she acted in, and one of which she co-produced.

Lupino once called herself a "bulldozer" to secure financing for her production company, but she referred to herself as "mother" while on set. On set, the back of her director's chair was labeled "Mother of Us All".[3] Her studio emphasized her femininity, often at the urging of Lupino herself. She credited her refusal to renew her contract with Warner Bros. under the pretenses of domesticity, claiming "I had decided that nothing lay ahead of me but the life of the neurotic star with no family and no home." She made a point to seem nonthreatening in a male-dominated environment, stating, "That's where being a man makes a great deal of difference. I don't suppose the men particularly care about leaving their wives and children. During the vacation period, the wife can always fly over and be with him. It's difficult for a wife to say to her husband, come sit on the set and watch."

Although directing became Lupino's passion, the drive for money kept her on camera, so she could acquire the funds to make her own productions. She became a wily low-budget filmmaker, reusing sets from other studio productions and talking her physician into appearing as a doctor in the delivery scene of Not Wanted. She used what is now called product placement, placing Coke, Cadillac, and other brands in her films, such as The Bigamist. She shot in public places to avoid set-rental costs and planned scenes in pre-production to avoid technical mistakes and retakes. She joked that if she had been the "poor man's Bette Davis" as an actress, she had now become the "poor man's Don Siegel" as a director.

The Filmakers production company closed shop in 1955, and Lupino turned almost immediately to television, directing episodes of more than thirty US TV series from 1956 through 1968. She also helmed a feature film in 1965 for the Catholic schoolgirl comedy The Trouble With Angels, starring Hayley Mills and Rosalind Russell; this was Lupino's last theatrical film as a director. She continued acting as well, going on to a successful television career throughout the 1960s and '70s.

Lupino's career as a director continued through 1968. Her directing efforts during these years were almost exclusively for television productions such as Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Thriller, The Twilight Zone, Have Gun – Will Travel, Honey West, The Donna Reed Show, Gilligan's Island, 77 Sunset Strip, The Rifleman, The Virginian, Sam Benedict, The Untouchables, Hong Kong, The Fugitive, and Bewitched.

After the demise of The Filmakers, Lupino continued working as an actress until the end of the 1970s, mainly in television. Lupino appeared in 19 episodes of Four Star Playhouse from 1952 to 1956, an endeavor involving partners Charles Boyer, Dick Powell and David Niven. From January 1957 to September 1958, Lupino starred with her then-husband Howard Duff in the sitcom Mr. Adams and Eve, in which the duo played husband-and-wife film stars named Howard Adams and Eve Drake, living in Beverly Hills, California.[22] Duff and Lupino also co-starred as themselves in 1959 in one of the 13 one-hour installments of The Lucy–Desi Comedy Hour and an episode of The Dinah Shore Chevy Show in 1960. Lupino guest-starred in numerous television shows, including The Ford Television Theatre (1954), Bonanza (1959), Burke's Law (1963–64), The Virginian (1963–65), Batman (1968), The Mod Squad (1969), Family Affair (1969–70), The Wild, Wild West (1969), Nanny and the Professor (1971), Columbo: Short Fuse (1972), Columbo: Swan Song (1974) in which she plays Johnny Cash's character's zealous wife, Barnaby Jones (1974), The Streets of San Francisco, Ellery Queen (1975), Police Woman (1975), and Charlie's Angels (1977). Her final acting appearance was in the 1979 film My Boys Are Good Boys.

Lupino has two distinctions with The Twilight Zone series, as the only woman to have directed an episode ("The Masks") and the only person to have worked as both actor for one episode ("The Sixteen-Millimeter Shrine"), and director for another.

Lupino's Filmakers movies deal with unconventional and controversial subject matter that studio producers would not touch, including out-of-wedlock pregnancy, bigamy, and rape. She described her independent work as "films that had social significance and yet were entertainment ... base on true stories, things the public could understand because they had happened or been of news value." She focused on women's issues for many of her films and she liked strong characters, "[Not] women who have masculine qualities about them, but [a role] that has intestinal fortitude, some guts to it."

In the film The Bigamist, the two women characters represent the career woman and the homemaker. The title character is married to a woman (Joan Fontaine) who, unable to have children, has devoted her energy to her career. While on one of many business trips, he meets a waitress (Lupino) with whom he has a child, and then marries her.[25] Marsha Orgeron, in her book Hollywood Ambitions, describes these characters as "struggling to figure out their place in environments that mirror the social constraints that Lupino faced".[13] However, Donati, in his biography of Lupino, said "The solutions to the character's problems within the films were often conventional, even conservative, more reinforcing the 1950s' ideology than undercutting it."

Ahead of her time within the studio system, Lupino was intent on creating films that were rooted in reality. On Never Fear, Lupino said, "People are tired of having the wool pulled over their eyes. They pay out good money for their theatre tickets and they want something in return. They want realism. And you can't be realistic with the same glamorous mugs on the screen all the time."

Lupino's films are critical of many traditional social institutions, which reflect her contempt for the patriarchal structure that existed in Hollywood. Lupino rejected the commodification of female stars and as an actress, she resisted becoming an object of desire. She said in 1949, "Hollywood careers are perishable commodities", and sought to avoid such a fate for herself.

Ida Lupino was diagnosed with polio in 1934. The New York Times reported that the outbreak of polio within the Hollywood community was due to contaminated swimming pools. The disease severely affected her ability to work, and her contract with Paramount fell apart shortly after her diagnosis. Lupino recovered and eventually directed, produced, and wrote many films, including a film loosely based upon her travails with polio titled Never Fear in 1949, the first film that she was credited for directing (she had earlier stepped in for an ill director on Not Wanted and refused directorial credit out of respect for her colleague). Her experience with the disease gave Lupino the courage to focus on her intellectual abilities over simply her physical appearance. In an interview with Hollywood, Lupino said, "I realized that my life and my courage and my hopes did not lie in my body. If that body was paralyzed, my brain could still work industriously...If I weren't able to act, I would be able to write. Even if I weren't able to use a pencil or typewriter, I could dictate."[31] Film magazines from the 1930s and 1940s, such as The Hollywood Reporter and Motion Picture Daily, frequently published updates on her condition. Lupino worked for various non-profit organizations to help raise funds for polio research.

Lupino's interests outside the entertainment industry included writing short stories and children's books, and composing music. Her composition "Aladdin's Suite" was performed by the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra in 1937. She composed this piece while on bedrest due to polio in 1935.

She became an American citizen in June 1948 and a staunch Democrat who supported the presidency of John F. Kennedy. Lupino was Catholic.

Lupino died from a stroke while undergoing treatment for colon cancer in Los Angeles on 3 August 1995, at the age of 77. Her memoirs, Ida Lupino: Beyond the Camera, were edited after her death and published by Mary Ann Anderson.

Lupino learned filmmaking from everyone she observed on set, including William Ziegler, the cameraman for Not Wanted. When in preproduction on Never Fear, she conferred with Michael Gordon on directorial technique, organization, and plotting. Cinematographer Archie Stout said of Ms. Lupino, "Ida has more knowledge of camera angles and lenses than any director I've ever worked with, with the exception of Victor Fleming. She knows how a woman looks on the screen and what light that woman should have, probably better than I do." Lupino also worked with editor Stanford Tischler, who said of her, "She wasn't the kind of director who would shoot something, then hope any flaws could be fixed in the cutting room. The acting was always there, to her credit."

Author Ally Acker compares Lupino to pioneering silent-film director Lois Weber for their focus on controversial, socially relevant topics. With their ambiguous endings, Lupino's films never offered simple solutions for her troubled characters, and Acker finds parallels to her storytelling style in the work of the modern European "New Wave" directors, such as Margarethe von Trotta.

Ronnie Scheib, who issued a Kino release of three of Lupino's films, likens Lupino's themes and directorial style to directors Nicholas Ray, Sam Fuller, and Robert Aldrich, saying, "Lupino very much belongs to that generation of modernist filmmakers." On whether Lupino should be considered a feminist filmmaker, Scheib states, "I don't think Lupino was concerned with showing strong people, men or women. She often said that she was interested in lost, bewildered people, and I think she was talking about the postwar trauma of people who couldn't go home again."

Author Richard Koszarski noted Lupino's choice to play with gender roles regarding women's film stereotypes during the studio era: "Her films display the obsessions and consistencies of a true auteur... In her films The Bigamist and The Hitch-Hiker, Lupino was able to reduce the male to the same sort of dangerous, irrational force that women represented in most male-directed examples of Hollywood film noir."

Lupino did not openly consider herself a feminist, saying, "I had to do something to fill up my time between contracts. Keeping a feminine approach is vital — men hate bossy females ... Often I pretended to a cameraman to know less than I did. That way I got more cooperation." Village Voice writer Carrie Rickey, though, holds Lupino up as a model of modern feminist filmmaking: "Not only did Lupino take control of production, direction, and screenplay, but [also] each of her movies addresses the brutal repercussions of sexuality, independence and dependence."

By 1972, Lupino said she wished more women were hired as directors and producers in Hollywood, noting that only very powerful actresses or writers had the chance to work in the field. She directed or costarred a number of times with young, fellow British actresses on a similar journey of developing their American film careers like Hayley Mills and Pamela Franklin.

Actress Bea Arthur, best remembered for her work in Maude and The Golden Girls, was motivated to escape her stifling hometown by following in Lupino's footsteps and becoming an actress, saying, "My dream was to become a very small blonde movie star like Ida Lupino and those other women I saw up there on the screen during the Depression."

Lupino has two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for contributions to the fields of television and film — located at 1724 Vine Street and 6821 Hollywood Boulevard.

what are your top 5 GO fanfics??

I started making this list and realized a majority of the fic were book!GO. So, I’m making a little list for both! I apologize because most of these are dated, as I haven’t had time to read as much fic as I’d like. Also, I’m looking for book!GO recs for myself - I could only think of four!

Top 4 Book GO fanfiction:

Bad Grace by quantum_witch

"Good Omens" sequel - In which there is a stolen book of prophecies, a plot to bring about the Second Coming of Christ and thus truly end the world, an Antichrist heading into puberty, a demon and angel facing complicated emotional entanglement, and Horsepersons and Sins and Disciples, oh my!”

(Btw, this fic has one of the loveliest reunion scenes I’ve ever read, in books or fic.)

The Internal Rhyme series by Vulgarweed, illustrated by Quantum_Witch.

This action-packed, spicy romp follows Aziraphale and Crowley through history, from the Dark Ages to the Crusades to Elizabethan England. Aziraphale and Crowley have a sort of friends with benefits situation that keeps tipping into Real Feelings(tm). The dialogue is witty, the settings immersive, and the sex is loads of fun.

Revenge of the Houseplants by HJ Bender

“FACT: Crowley's houseplants have been suffering for years at the hands of their merciless master. QUESTION: What happens when Hastur offers them a chance to avenge their misery? ANSWER: (read fic)”

My true favorite in this trilogy is Operation Salvation, but Revenge of the Houseplants is the first in that trilogy. HJ Bender captures Aziraphale and Crowley perfectly, with witty dialogue and incredible action scenes. (TW for attempted rape in Operation Salvation.)

Manchester Lost by Aisene

“//novel sequel// Our heroes have managed to make everything worse, as the Apocalypse is starting... again. Drama! Action! Humour! Adventure! Snark! Tea! Romance! Beta'd by Quantum_Witch.”

This novel-length follow-up to the book is hilarious (sometimes at a crack-y level), sweet, and emotional by turns. With a completely different (and endearing) take on the Archangels, the cast is full of characters to love.

Top 5 TV GO fanfiction:

You, Soft and Only by thehoyden

“He hadn’t expected a sudden lapful of angel.

‘Very sorry about this,’ Aziraphale said, and kissed him.”

This fic follows Crowley and Aziraphale as their relationship slowly progresses from adversaries to friends to friends-with-benefits and beyond. Lush and emotional, You, Soft and Only gives you a bit of everything: Roman bathhouses, nunneries, fake marriage in Venice, and more. Also available as a podfic by @podfixx.

these three remain by weatheredlaw

“but the greatest of these is love

or: aziraphale struggles with faith after the world doesn't end. crowley's got some experience with that.”

This gorgeous fic follows Aziraphale and Crowley as they recover from the events of Armageddon on a remote Greek island. Aziraphale struggles with PTSD and Crowley tries his best. (Honestly, read everything by weatheredlaw.) Also available as a podfic by @podfixx.

with all your delights by weatheredlaw

“Crowley laughed. ‘I thought you’d have realized by now. I am no ordinary king.’

‘No,’ Aziraphale said. ‘You certainly are not.’

or: aziraphale is sent as a gift to the southern king to smooth over trade negotiations. they both find themselves in over their heads.”

Another from Cat! This AU features Crowley as a king and Aziraphale as his consort. Misunderstandings and sexytimes abound, but the best part of this is how two people from incredibly different backgrounds learn to compromise and love one another.

Long is the Way, and Hard by kate_lear

“The first time Crawley meets the angel, the celestial being is twisting its shining white robe in its fingers and looking wretched. It hardly spares him a glance as he shifts from snake to human, and Crawley is a touch put-out. It’s taken some practice to be able to do it so fluidly.

A story of Crowley's thoughts about Aziraphale, from the Beginning to the present day.

And also of temptation, and want, and whether - for a Fallen Angel - redemption is possible after all.”

Another fic following the two throughout history, Long is the Way features Crowley attempting to Fall Aziraphale over the years. Of course, this turns into feelings. Of course it will murder you with tenderness. This incredible story is also available as a podfic by @podfixx.

For the Longest Time by darlingred1

“‘You…’ Aziraphale sounded baffled, and suddenly quite sober. ‘You liked that? But, my dear, you said it was torturous. “Six thousand years of torture,” as I recall.’

‘Yeah. Yeah, but the anticipation, and the yearning, and…and how every moment with you was so maddeningly intense, and…’

And what else could Crowley say? How could he expect Aziraphale to understand that after six thousand years of torture he’d actually got a bit used to it? That he’d felt like a band strained further and further, and now he found himself permanently stretched, flopping about with too much slack and no way to hold on to what he’d been reaching towards for so long?

(Crowley kind of misses the pining when it's gone. Aziraphale comes up with a solution.)”

This is so fucking hot omg. Darlingred1 must be a wizard at kinks because they write some of the best sex I’ve ever read. Aside from spicy scenes, this fic features misunderstandings, tenderness, and compromise.
