Linkspam, 10/19/12 Edition

Here’s what caught my eye this week:

  • The Pen is Mightier: Sexist Responses to Women Writing About Religion Apparently an issue in all arenas. Sadly not surprised. (via)
  • 25 Things Writers Should Know About Conferences and Conventions
  • Portal Fantasy: Threat or Menace? I had no idea that books that are explicitly portal fantasies aren’t really being acquired anymore.
  • RedHeadedGirl Reviews Fabio’s Viking So glad I never read these books back in the day.
  • Five Ways to Know If Book Reviews are Fake Except, well, as discussed earlier this week in comments here it’s not always possible to know if a book review in a publication is genuine or not.
  • The Love Story of J. Alfred Capslock
  • Finland, Where Reading is a Superpower
  • The Vine, Robert Herrick 17th century tentacle porn poetry!
  • Louis and Lestat are a same-sex couple with a child Anne Rice talks with Kaila Hale-Stern at io9 about the graphic novel adaptation of Interview with a Vampire told from Claudia’s perspective.
  • Work For Hire, Exposure…and Less! Nick Mamatas on, well, what it says.
