Read both Captive Prince & Prince’s Gambit. Holy smokes, there really is nothing quite like this, is there? The first book is an extremely rough read, a kind of creeping tension that makes the experience of reading the novel similar to a horror, which makes the fact that the second book sinks the landing on the romance even more impressive.

I love figuring out things way before Damen. I love that he’s born yesterday. The man is tailor made to be bamboozled.

I’m aware they were big on tumblr in like 2014, thank god I didn’t find them until now.

Perhaps the first pull-to-publish SCP novel, I think that description sums up my mixed feelings here. On the one hand, QNTM is a talented writer and There is No Antimemetics Division is an extremely fun read and, might I add, exactly my shit, especially as someone who grew up loving the project. On the other hand, I have an instinctual discomfort whenever any project that began in fandom grows legs and starts monetizing itself. No one has done anything wrong here (and! I will be buying more of these!), but the introduction of capital into a space originally meant for just the joy of it, chafes.
