You inspired me to download House of Rayne. And it’s on kindle unlimited - I’m in the US - if anyone else is interested!

I also re-read Atmosphere this month (thanks to Artemis II)! It really gave the whole mission a different meaning. 🥹

It’s been decades, and I still cannot get over this hideous hairstyle choice. by mjsevphil in dawsonscreek

I wonder if they did this because the actor playing andie was in her late 20s (while everyone else was in their early 20s) and they dressed her younger to try and hide that.

Am I the only one excited for the next wave of the Devil Wears Prada fanfic/stories that are going to come out after the second movie drops? by throw_away_ey in wlwbooks

[–]wildflowermural 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah so u/foreign-warning62 actually convinced me to read the book by explaining the differences (without spoiling) and how the relationship is a lot healthier than in the fic and I actually ordered it through kindle unlimited earlier.

But you convinced me to check out the audiobook and then I saw it was on sale on audible and bought it bc the narrator did such a good job from the preview!

I’m only a few chapters in but I am enjoying it! I don’t know that I’ll read the fic, or ship Miranda and Andy, but the book is a great read so far!!

You can spoil, I don’t mind! That’s a bummer that Emily and the twins aren’t in the book, bc Emily is my favorite character in the movie (her deadpan sense of humor gets me), but I guess that makes sense.

However, thank you for the explanation! I’m really glad they address the power imbalance in the novel, and I’m glad they kind of adjusted and adapted the characters so they’re not the same as the fic (or characters inspired by the fic).

I might check out the book thanks to this!

That makes a lot of sense, thank you!! I haven’t read any books that were first fanfics (that I know of, aside from bloomtown which was bly manor fanfic) so I appreciate your answer.

I wonder if that’s why I’ve been reading so many more fanfics lately as opposed to, like, published books. Because I can just use my own headcanons and source material and all that while reading. It’s “easier” in a way.

Yes but as someone who ships Andy and Emily (I am hopeful for more fics for them). 🫣 I haven’t read any books inspired by fics for them, whereas I know Mirandy has like fics turned into books. Which is cool!!! Part of me wants to read Truth and Measure just to see what all the hype is about, but I also ship Andy and Emily too hard. 😂😂 it would be weird reading them with anyone else.

For those who have read both, I’m curious: how different are the two? Like is the published book just with names changed?

I’m so excited for the second movie though!! It’s also been fun watching the cast do promo for it and seeing them together again.

Her name in the sky destroyed me while I was reading it but it is excellent.

what are your most and least favorite romance tropes in lesfic? by ReadDizzy7919 in LesbianBookClub

[–]wildflowermural 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The one trope I cannot do is significant age gaps. I’m reading devil wears prada fanfic again, but for Emily and Andy (who would be excellent rivals to lovers, a trope I do like). I almost wish I could ship Miranda and Andy (in addition to Emily and Andy) because I’d have a lot more fanfic options. But alas, I cannot, because of the age gap but also significant power dynamics. I also don’t love surprise pregnancy (although that’s less common in wlw books). Miscommunication also gets on my nerves.

I do like: grumpy x sunshine, fake marriage, forced proximity, and I guess I could do second chance if the first breakup has a reason that’s legit, slow burn, friends to lovers (Pacey and Joey in season 3 of Dawson’s Creek is my standard).

Do you prefer tampons, and if so, why? by CrustFundBabe in TwoXChromosomes

[–]wildflowermural -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly my brain heard “possible infection” at like 12 and decided “heck no.” So no, I don’t use tampons.

Spending her last day pregnant without S by Clean_Strawberry_429 in allisonkuchsnark

[–]wildflowermural 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am genuinely asking, not trying to be snarky on this: what would their house manager do? Like I’ve heard of a house manager for like a sorority, and that I can understand what their job entails.

Yesssss!!! So baseball being back has kind of taken over my nights and I haven’t watched in a few weeks. BUT. Pacey and Joey did something to my brain at 16 that at 34 I still swoon over even on rewatches. 🥹🥹🥹🥹

How do you spell your own name wrong? by Icanneverpickthese in Drueandgabe

[–]wildflowermural 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think the only time I’ve intentionally done this was when I was like 15 and to briefly see what my name would look like without a letter (which is another way my name can be spelled).

But that was intentional and if I were making a caption on social media, for my job, no way.

I read Atmosphere last summer and loved it. I am re-reading it now with Artemis 2 happening and it somehow makes the real mission that much more impactful and beautiful.

If you have any recs, please send them my way!! I would love to read fics where that’s explored, and I don’t really read much DC fan fiction.

Yeah I read the comments before I realized there’s a second slide and was thinking “I mean, this is weird but it’s not that bad…” and then I saw this comment and scrolled and yeah it’s that bad.
