1) You can post and comment here with any journal you own, i.e. CDJs, character journals from any game, etc. You don't need to join the comm in order to comment, but you can if you want.

2) We will do our best to continue putting up new chatter posts here whenever the old ones get close to filling up.

3) If for whatever reason, you'd like to make a new post in campers, you can!

Uzumaki is also amazing and so impressively uncomfortable? If you like that, I bet you'll love Perdido Street Station. (Also I meant killer moths not months oops! Scary bugs all around!!! But definitely try it if you love something really beautiful and rough.) China Mieville has a really interesting overly descriptive writing style that seems kind of love it or hate it, and I think Perdido exemplifies his stuff. Even then, I've hated some of his books, while other books of his are just goooorgeous? My other recs from him are The City & The City (urban fantasy noire murder about two cities whose dimensions overlap, but aren't allowed to acknowledge one another) and Embassytown (sci-fi, a woman with a failing marriage is one of the few humans physically capable of speaking an alien language) buuuuut I haven't finished them admittedly.

I own Smoke Gets In Your Eyes but I haven't read it yet!!! I guess I need to.

absolutely!! hm. some of what you're saying about china sounds a bit like how i feel about jeff vandermeer sometimes. :|a if you haven't read Shriek: An Afterword, you might like that based on these recs? it's -- strange and occasionally a bit Much, but i remember it as v lyrical and with a lot of interesting world-building going on (plus the relationship between the sibling main characters is also complex and well-done). also there's sentient mushroom people. i think there's another novel within the same setting but i've never actually read it.

i like it!! i've been... reading it really slow so am not too far in, but i enjoy her voice so much.
