luckilyotto has posted the first chapter in ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
shouldmyheart! For all of you not aware of what kind of beast shouldmyheart exactly is, let me explain. Heather played Ted in the RPG Toujours Pur that died away a few months ago, while I was Andromeda. (I must say, Heather's Ted has become my canonical vision of the character.) So the comm is a big-scale fanfic project centered around Ted/Andromeda.
She's just posted the first chapter, and it's great.
*
On a side note, the comm name prompts me to do a little promotion. (Not self- , alas.)
There's a novel in which "If love were the only thing..." is the beginning of a poem. That novel is great. (I do not have an endless supply of meliorative epithets, I'll have you know.) You should go and read it. It's A College of Magics, by Caroline Stevermer. The time is 1908, the place is Europe, the result is a jewel. A girl, the heiress of the duchy of Galazon, is sent away from home by her Wicked Uncle. (The caps are not mine, I kid you not. Told you it was great.) Now she finds herself in Normandy of-all-places, a place which is nothing like Galazon, all ocean and no trees, to supposedly learn magic at the finishing school of Greenlaw. She's rather disgruntled about it.
I have one minor squabble with the book (because I am an anal-retentive little bugger.): the French newspaper Le Monde is mentioned, whereas it only came into existence after WWII.
Isn't it pathetic that I can't find anything else to criticise?
