All right guys, it's been an interesting week. Which is putting it mildly. Given the rapid-fire swing from stress to panic to shocked and grateful relief I've had this week, it'd be remiss to mention it in a post about good news, because, well ... I'll just flat-out say it: You guys are incredible.
Hey readers! Got an interesting one for you today. Sort of a call-back, almost, to last week’s post on “pulp” not being a stand-in for “fun.” Once again, brought up by an online discussion I saw in a reading sphere.
All right guys, this one is just for fun!
Inspired by recent comments about how Blade was rapidly rising to be one of many readers favorite characters, followed by reactions to Barnabas's heart-to-heart with his sister in the most recent chapter, I've got a quiz for all of you!

Readers of all ages, I give you ...

Neither, but it is something I want out of my head, and I know where to pin the blame! (he proclaimed posing with his hand in the air as if cursing the cruel gods)
Yep, there's gonna be a Borderlands Movie.
I don't know if I've let you all know this, but I love Borderlands, I'm not going to discount this just because there hasn't been an amazing history of game movies but I am taking it with a grain of salt.
I know some people will be asking why it's just a grain, well Borderlands has proven themselves in the past.
I've tried four or five times to draft a new blog post today, and I lost each one to a random Chromebook restart. So I'm giving up, here's the bullet-points version:
Really busy with school.
New internship transcribing oral histories.
Teaching an actual, weekly IRL fanfiction class (like this, but without video).
Go check it out!
