Oopsie.

I have been neglecting all other podcasts as I race to catch up with the sci-fi horror serial Crescent. It's been fun. I won't praise the author's creative skill or talent much, but as pulp, it's fun, and the production values are surprisingly good. I recommend giving it a shot. It's oddly compelling in places, and better than Scott Sigler's work (I listened to the whole of Earthcore, ugh). http://www.crescentstation.net/
(I think I got there from PsuedoPod, which has been getting better of late.)

And I've read through and am keeping up with Tales of MU, a difficult to categorize coming-of-age tale for a young half-demon girl starting her freshman year of college. Originally run on the authoress' LJ, it now has it's own home at http://www.talesofmu.com/ (I originally linked in from an ad on Questionable Content (.net) a wonderful little webcomic I've been reading for awhile in spurts). Tales of MU has fantasticly well-rendered and believeable characters, human and otherwise, a wonderful take of science versus magic techonolgies, funny dialog, heart wrenching drama ... and bunches of NSFW kink and sexual activity .. in text form. I can't say much more without spoilers, so go give it a try. Starts here: http://www.talesofmu.com/story/?p=3 And if you find yourself identifying too strongly with one of the characters, credit AE. If only my freshman year had been this educational...

Wow, thanks for the rousing endorsement

"Ugh." Great review. Can I put that on the back cover of the second edition?
