    Black History Month: Essential Black Authors to Read | The Daily Show's List

    By toomanycurls

    One hallmark of any Black History Month is getting a reading list. More important than a reading list is knowing what people have thought of books or if they are planning to read any on a given list so:  Here is a list transcribed from Essential Black Authors to Read | The Daily Show. I'd love to know which people have read or are planning to read from this list or from any list on Black History Month.  STAMPED: Racism, Antiracism, and You by Ibram Kendi and Jason Reynolds  M

    Recommendations FAQ

    How do I contribute to the rec section? To contribute, you'll need to start your own rec blog by going to "Create Blog" and then selecting whatever category you want to make recs in.

Days That End in Y by RonsGirlFriday.

I'm a bit late posting this because I got distracted this week, but here it is - I'm blogging about another of this year's Golden Ink award winners: Mel calls this a collection of drabbles or flash fiction, but each seems more substantial than that to me.  I’d say they’re more vignettes, but then I have an ancient vocabulary making me nearly incomprehensible to modern readers so there you have it.  Whatever the hell you call Days That End in Y, the collection taken as a whole is surely a sp

pink porcelain, by Aphoride

We’re back to celebrate another Golden Ink Winner 🪄✨ Congratulations to @Aphoride for winning BEST DESCRIPTION with pink porcelain!! 🍵 picspam by @Darling_take_off_the_mask Following The Untamed fandom, pink porcelain reveals the relationship between Jiang Yanli and Jin Zixuan, from their most significant moments to the least significant.

by blood, by blackballet

(picspam by me!)   2024 Inky Winner - Best Dialogue by blood, by blackballet by blood by blackballet... Try saying that three times fast! The actual dialogue of by blood rolls off the tongue much more naturally, and that's what we're here to cheer about. It's hardly surprising - @blackballet is a fantastic wordsmith, and it seems like I manage to find some remarkable turn of phrase in every single chapter. And Cat's writing style demonstrates how well she grasps that the

The Outsider by Pixileanin

I’m here at last to shine a light on 2024’s Golden Ink Award winner for Best Page Turner: The Outsider by @Pixileanin. Pix is one of those writers who, when you read her work, makes you want to be a better writer.  This story, despite her insistence that it’s a dumpster fire, is a prime example of that. First of all, if you can’t stand the idea of Hermione falling for Draco (or vice versa), this is the Dramione tale for you!  Poor Hermione has met with the worst possible fate (or so it

Welcome to the first in a series of blog posts highlighting the winners of this year’s Golden Ink Awards! ? We begin with the fic that won Best Slow Burn Romance - and you know it’s a slow burn, because 27 chapters in, the two leads can still barely stand to be in the same room as one another (and it’s been a heck of a journey just getting them into the same room in the first place!) But we know they belong together because they were SO good together before. I speak, of course, of Al P
