Note: Recently, I'm going through major life changes(for the better). I'm doing my best to keep up with exchanges and the like, but right now everything has to go at my own pace.

Corsets and Lemons, the kink meme for 19th century literature.
I admit to having been hesitant to prompt anything, due to not really being able to think of smut I would like for my small 19th century fandoms.
Still, it's very firmly focused on small, nerdy book fandoms, which is wonderful.

Yuletide Nominations are open until the 11th of October.
Yuletide is an exchange for tiny fandoms with under 1000 fanworks on AO3+FF.net. It's a great chance to get whatever small fandoms you've had your eye on.

The Second Coming by William Butler Yeats
I miss my Norton poetry collection. I miss poetics on the whole - Sadly I was not introduced to Yeats until recently, despite having dedicated university years to the Romantics and the early 20th century. This is one of his most known poems, illustrating the unease of the immediate post-war years, using biblical imagery.

Oh, I thought of the Corsets and Lemons thing as well but I feel anything I would end up writing would just end up being Pilgrim's Progress but this time it's 120 Days of Sodom or something.

I haven't read Yeats in so long, I need amend that.

Hope everything IRL is okay for you, glad that the changes are leading to better things!

..Honestly, they might like that. There are so many out-there requests, I can't even. (And they're allowing 16-18 century things through October.)

Yeats is lovely! I wish we had gone him over in uni, alongside Auden and the war poets. It makes sense that we wouldn't, given that he would be part of the British School Curricula(???? Feel free to correct me, you know more about this than I do).

It's going well! The exchanges are a bit 'Oh my gosh how do I fix this', but I'm not panicking just yet. Things are going better every day :)

I must admit I am tempted - I am tempted by yuletide as well, but it seems so big and bewildering that I struggle to get my head around its spreadsheet, lol.

Yes, I definitely remember Yeats at school, but, ah, I was never the most attentive student and school did nothing for my appreciation of... well, anything.

I'm super glad things are going so well! Hope this continues!

The good thing about it being so big is that it's easier to get what you want/write something you want to write. On the other hand, it's -enormous-, so I really don't blame you.

School tends to have that effect - I still remember the utter disappointment of not being able to pass notes in class. Most of my hours were spent in the library.

I sort of want to be a part of it but also don't want to be the same girl requesting Ring fanfic at *every* exchange, lol.

I feel like I was miss-sold the romance of school, as all the things I adore about the fiction of school was not at all like what school was for me. I want a refund, lol.

You'd be far from the only one with a single-fandom obsession, at least.

Oh, same. You know it's bad when you go to a Potter larp being completely uninterested in HP, but very excited about pretending to go to boarding school :p

[sonofgodzilla]

Oh my gosh please sign me up for that so I can pretend that was my actual past too!
