Oh, DD. You just can't help yourself

"Hey, let him eat something," Tom said. Here and in the real world he was a big broad dark-haired guy with a mustache, always jovial: Rik couldn't recall ever having seen him frown, not even in the middle of a battle when people around him were bleeding and screaming. A look of intent interest was all he ever showed. "Mustard?" ... Sometimes, Rik thought, he can be unusually perceptive...

LOL OH DD. I'm not done yet so perhaps he'll get a surname at some point and I'll try to figure out if he's a deliberate mishmash between Tom and Carl or if she just can't remember which one she gave the mustache to (she already forgot that Carl's supposed to be taller :-/ yes, I am a freak for remembering this shit). But wow, she really can't resist, can she? ♥

Yes. Brand new adult SF. I had no idea either until I randomly came across it in the bookstore and gasped and checked the author's name about six times to make sure I wasn't reading it wrong.

Yep! First of a set - Omnitopia Dawn came out a couple of weeks ago. Diane signed my copy for me at the Discworld convention :D

*cheerful wave*

It's weird. She didn't even tweet about it, this time.

Heeeeeeeee. *grin* ♥ I hadn't had time to read my copy when she signed it for me, too busy flitting around DWcon, but I love that.

ETA: Also, you are reminding me we now need "fandom: omnitopia" and "book: omnitopia dawn" tags at myriadwords. I'm going out, so if you get to it before I do... *g*

Hi you!

I wouldn't see anyway, I only use twitter to play Echo Bazaar these days and she hasn't posted on her livejournal in ages.

(edtied for sense)

I can't help coming up with silly speculations such as that the guys she based them on tended to intermittently grow and shave off mustaches... hey, it's how a lot of the guys I know treat facial hair....

[trialia]

Oooh, you play Fallen London too? Am I following you yet? *g*

Yeah, pretty much. She tweets much more often than she blogs, nowadays. Less time-consuming than a proper post, I think. In fact, I've got the same habit...

I'll pm you my twitter name, since it's different from my LJ name.

I just never got into twitter. I tried, but it doesn't appeal. Tumblr, though, Tumblr appeals and I'm trying to be more active there.

By now their mustaches are probably silver!
