A monk asked Jõshû, "Has a dog the Buddha Nature?"

Often, strangers would look at me, with my cane and my wolfsister, and either understand nothing about us at all, or think they understood far too much. The young man with the test tube only shook my hand, with a strength I should hardly have credited him, and said, "You have been in Afghanistan, I perceive."
For the Psychic Wolves for Lupercalia challenge

Herein find Charlie Brooker's hypothetical review of the hottest new game of the year, SBURB.

Sherlock really needs to go to the cinema more often.

Alexander Armsworth is home from college. Blossom Culp hasn't changed nearly as much as he might have hoped she had. A lot of strange visitors are in town, and a lot of strange mutterings. There will be a full moon this Halloween, and a small cat named Graymalk just said "Hello" to Alexander in the middle of the street.

or, Through the Catflap of the Silver Key: in which Graymalk, the Witch's Cat, travels the Dreamlands, and meets a Tomcat, a Watchdog, an Old Wolf, and a Great Many Squirrels; there are two Carcases of Rats (both dead of replete old age), some Riddling, and much Nappery; and an Original Wormius Edition of the Book of Dead Names is most profanely Misused.

Tony Stark doesn't need to be safe, sane, and consensual. He has JARVIS instead. (Then he gets Steve.)

Summary: Ahriman is an avatar of the Lone Power. Richie Ryan is a young wizard on Ordeal. Methos is all too familiar with how that story ends.

One thing I love in a good SF story is ways of doing love, marriage, and romance that don't buy in to our society's idea of love+romance+sex+monogamy all on one single person as the only way to do it.

I have a small collection of worlds that have come up with better ways, and I have a great deal of fun trying to fit the 'shipping debates from various fandoms into these other ways of looking at love. I especially love the way that many of them explicitly acknowledge the value of non-sexual, sometimes non-romantic, relationships that are of equal importance with the sexual ones.

The Bookman and Gentleman Johnny meet in person at last. And Raymond Vecchio has the start of a very bad day.

Miss Madelyn Mack is far cleverer than her old friend, Sherlock Holmes - she is the most successful professional detective in New York City. Miss Nora Noraker, intrepid newspaperwoman, is her loyal chronicler and inseparable bosom companion. The rest - you can probably fill in for yourself, really.

"I present to you the raw numbers on sexuality for the 10 polls & surveys I could find results for, plus several more I could only find references to."

Alternatively, you can just go to Alexei Panshin's website and read the hilarously, meticulously detailed and documented account of his feud with Robert Heinlein over whether Heinlein could write sex or not, which puts all of f_w to shame forever, and then write me 1960s SF Fandom RPF instead. I wouldn't mind. (Though the website is longer than the books...)
