Spoiler Warning: These diaries will contain spoilers for The Witcher, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt by CD Projekt Red, possibly the books upon which they are based by Andrzej Sapkowski, and the comics from Dark Horse, depending on just how ambitious/obsessive I’m feeling.
We Love Fine’s Age of Fashion Line Gives Fans What They Really Want
I first became aware of We Love Fine’s expanding fan-friendly apparel when I saw their booth at C2E2, which made me want to buy all the things.

Bone Gap Laura Ruby Balzer & Bray March 3, 2015 Just like the name suggests, Bone Gap is a town full of gaps. Gaps no one talks about, but that deep down everyone knows exists. And that’s just one of the reasons why Bone Gap isn’t like other towns.

Their dedication and effort are inspiring—or at least they ought to be, but my problem is that I’m lazy. Also, I really love…
Disabled Protagonists + Apocalypse = New Anthology I Never Realized I Needed
Just when I thought I was done with apocalyptic/dystopic fiction I found Defying Doomsday: a crowd-funded anthology featuring disabled characters of all stripes, coping with the end of the world.
