So the theme of my Yuletide seems to be "Women Rule!" and I can so totally go with that.

I have to run (I'm going to go see Sweeney Todd with a friend) but I just wanted to put the stories (!) I recieved in my journal.

The Testimony of Batsheba is about life for people in Bible times as they lived it, the ways they actually thought. And it has notes! I want to discuss archaeology and history with the author, and hug him/her as well.

Eros Crowned gets a favorite character of mine something I've always wanted him to have, in one rubine moment of shimmering beauty.

Writhed in the Birthing of Her. Because women rule, even in the most patriarchal of places and times.

The Adventures of Mistress Gail and the Unfortunate Fates of Dan DiDio and Frank Miller. Just read this, and be delighted. You know you want to.

One Little Ewe Lamb is heartbreaking and true and reminded me of every indignity I saw the religion of my birth force upon women. I want this Bathsheba to meet the ones from "The Testimony of Bathsheba" and "Writhed in the Birthing of Her".

(PS Speaking of Sweeney Todd: "Always Had A Fondness" which I'm tucking here to read it after I see the movie.)

Absolutely thrilling, especially the biblical tales... from fascinating to utterly disturbing. Thanks so much for the links - and a blessed Christmas! *hugs*

*sneaks in, just to mention in case you'd missed it, that the bibliography for Every Land is over here*

Please note, that's not me, but it's a friend of mine who was pointing out her story to me, and I noticed your comment, and thought you'd like to have the biliography is you hadn't seen it yet.

*sneaks back out*
