WH40k fan (especially Horus Heresy) hampered by my inability to paint. Lover of 40k novels, sci-fi, and romantasy. I buy LOTS of ebooks, so please feel free to recommend some! Pfp artwork taken from a pic by mydinh on DeviantArt. Looking for a new one.

I only barely remember what his actual deal was, but I definitely recall the name from RPG-related newsgroups when I was in college.
Oh my God, I know that name.

...I feel so old.
From "The Fifty-Year Mission: The Complete, Uncensored, Unauthorized Oral History of Star Trek" by Edward Gross and Mark Altman. Devra Langsam started one of the first Trek zines in 1967 and co-organized the first major Trek convention in 1972. We're still dealing with this nonsense 60 years later.
The ENTIRE FUCKING REASON Star Trek wasn't a TV series that had three seasons in the 60s then was cancelled and forgotten is because colossal numbers of women fans organized numerous Star Trek conventions and made fanzines in the 70s which convinced the rights owners to revive the franchise.
okay grandpa, let's get you to bed
"I'm against fascists! That's why I'm voting for the guy with the giant tattoo of the unit emblem used by the Nazi SS unit made up of personnel transferred from their duties as Nazi concentration camp guards that he's had for almost two decades!"
I'm telling you, they need to start adding werewolves to these things.
And, if the ratings look less than bright for Hallmark, things are downright grim on Great American Family, where they kicked off their Christmas programming to literal crickets

A WISCONSIN CHRISTMAS PIE failed to register in the ratings, which measured programming with as few as 153k live viewers
Twenty bucks, same as in town.
I just took an internal survey at work about AI, and I was utterly utterly honest about how I think it's useless counterproductive bullshit and don't want it as part of my job.

So, I'm probably going to get fired.
This picture makes me wonder: why hasn't anyone ever written Sanguinius wingfic?
The Hallmark Channel needs to adapt this into one of their Christmas movies. I'd be more inclined to watch them if they included more werewolves.
I found it!

I ran across this book years ago, before I really started buying eBooks, but I couldn't get it at the time and I didn't have an account anywhere to save it on a wishlist then. And then I forgot the title!

But I remembered the description, and this was it! I'm so happy!!
Yeah, as GW retcons go, it's barely noticeable. It only jumped out at me because I'm a giant nerd about Custodes, and in the past chuds have tried to argue with me about the various Custodes changes over the years, including one arguing with me about "Watchers of the Throne" at the Other Place.
It describes how the Companions around the Golden Throne look and how they're attired differently from the way 2017's "Watchers of the Throne" did (where they're fully armored in blackened auramite). The short story describes them as dressed similar to, but not EXACTLY like, the old 1e Custodes.
Ironically, the short story does actually contain a Custodes re-retcon, but it's not the one he thinks is there and that he's whining about.

He's just too much of a tourist to notice.
And by "a year's worth of content for the faction you ruined", he means "one short story in an anthology, and a third-party artbook about the miniatures with minimal fluff, both written before 10th Codex was published".
Starsworn too.

And I had the same idea about a dramatization-through-fic!
The first 40k novel I ever read, and one of the first ever published by Black Library almost thirty years ago, William King's "Space Wolf", featured a pre-Space Marine Ragnar Blackmane having sex with a girl from his village on Fenris.
My most unhinged literary take is that Anne Rice's "Mummy" books are far superior to her Vampire Chronicles books
I read the first Expanse book, the started watching the series and liked it way better and now I'm kind of afraid to go back to the books in case they're not as good.
It's Rogue Interns all the way down.
