One Dress a Day Challenge
November: Oscar Winners
Moulin Rouge / Nicole Kidman as Satine
Year: 2001
Designers: Catherine Martin and Angus Strathie
Like the so-called "Hindi Wedding Dress," this is a costume for a play-within-a-play. Since the costumes for this movie are already very stylized and flashy, it must have been a challenge for the designers to make these costumes look even more theatrical. Hence the fantasy headpiece--and if you told me this one was also based on the Australian frilled lizard, I would find that completely believable.

BECAUSE YOU DEMANDED IT, I'm back with more Sad Boat Books for Sad Boat People! But first, some words.
I never dreamed that a silly little graphic I made for some friends would generate this much response on twitter and here, but I'm overjoyed that it resonated with so many of you! I read every single comment and tag, and by far my favorites are all of the people who say some variation of "I thought I was the only one who loved these books." We are NOT alone, there are literally thousands of people who reblogged or retweeted this list-- people of all ages and backgrounds and gender identities. Sad Boat isn't just for old white men! I was also delighted to hear from other librarians who are using this in displays and for reader's advisory. PLEASE go forth and do so with my blessing, nothing would make me happier! I was recently laid off from my librarian job as part of a restructuring under new management (don't worry about me, it sucks right now but I'm gonna be fine), so I would love to think that I'm still contributing to the library ecosystem while I'm out of commission. I would also love to keep making these lists (including one that deals with Sad Boat fiction and one with recommendations for other types of media), and I've never had more time to do it, so if you have suggestions, please drop them in my inbox!
Anyway, enough of that-- here are more books! I've either read all of these, or the recommendation came from someone I trust, so read with confidence!

HP Soulmates Fest 2022 : Masterlist of DRARRY fics
@hp-soulmates || official masterpost || AO3 || ∑ = 40 works (art, fic, podfic) The Mods + Banner © : @melcarrianna's Heartstopping Soulmate
1. Believe by @athousandpagesyettowrite [G, 4k]
His head screams with thoughts of it'shimit'shimit'shimit'shimit'shimit'shim and it takes all of his willpower to concentrate enough to hear the boy’s- his soulmate’s- next words. “Oh. Oh no.”
2. The Bonny, Bonny Shores of Strathy Bay by elinor_snapdragon [M, 7k]
There is an enchanted beach in the north of Scotland, where if you visit one special day each year, the spirits are said to awaken and whisper the name of your soulmate. A gang of Gryffindors decide this might be a lark, and sneak away from a Hogwarts school trip for a giggle. They never expect it to work.
3. Chilly Feet by @orange-peony [E, 13k]
It all starts with a pair of chilly feet under Harry Potter’s bum.
4. Finding out what is Draco Malfoy up to - A Misguided Guide by Harry Potter by @purplehotmess [T, 17k]
Draco Malfoy is up to something - Harry knows because the git didn't come to work today and didn't even tell Harry— Or two idiots in love who bumble, fumble, and stumble their way into finally getting together.
5. Little Lost Things by @flightinflame [T, 10k]
Draco has been waiting his entire life for the first treasure from his soulmate. When he's six and a Muggle coin appears, it seems like everything is going to go wrong. Harry is confused to find a beautiful feather dipped in ink when he's cleaning the Dursleys' kitchen. But things like this happen to him. [...]
6. Needs and Wants by lilaced [M, 11k]
Draco finds out he’s a vampire, right before he finds out that his Fated is none other than Potter. It’s a purely magical bond, unable to influence feelings, but Draco is Draco and pining ensues.
7. Steady as you go by @deliciousblizzardshark [E, 21k]
When Harry is diagnosed with fatal soul-damage, the only cure is to bond him to his soulmate, who turns out to be Draco Malfoy. But Harry and Draco are both married with children. What is going to happen to their families when they decide to do the only thing that will save Harry's life?
8. The thin line by @nelweensfic [M, 10k]
After the war Harry felt different. His heart was lighter. Or that was what he thought. Seeing Draco Malfoy on the train to their eighth year did something to his soul. And he'll learn that there is a thin line between hate and love.
9. This Could Be Good by @cassiaratheslytherpuff [E, 6k]
As a child, Draco had always loved his mother’s tales of soulmates, but he never thought he’d experience it himself. The universe, apparently, has other plans. Or, the one where Draco saves a dog and gets a soulmate.
10. What's Right in Front of You by @orpheous87 [T, 7k]
When a spell cast in the eighth-year common room goes wrong, Harry's life is thrown into chaos. He wasn't ready to come out yet, but it turns out he didn't need to worry. His friends are very keen to show him that he has their support, but it gets a bit much. Seeking solace in solitude, Harry is reminded that he's not the only one affected by the revelation. As he and Draco spend more time together, they come to realise that maybe the spell wasn't as rubbish as they first thought.

Update: Crossed in Love - Chapter 2
Tumblr media
Read Crossed in Love Chapter 2 HERE!
I am terribly sorry for the delay. Life got in the way! I do hope, however, that you will enjoy this even though I feel very unsure about it all. This might be, however, due to my mood today.
Miss Evans is a young woman of one and twenty who completely and utterly knows her mind. She refuses to be ruled by men and is set on the idea of never submitting to a husband’s sceptre. Fleeing her sister’s home to teach at Gryffindor House, a school for genteel young girls, she expects nothing and no one to change her mind for she will only be persuaded to marry when she finds the deepest of love.
His Grace James Potter - Lord of Peverell, son to a Duke and Duchess, owner of a large fortune and soon-to-be a member of the House of Lords - is a man of one and twenty and – by any and all accounts, just ask Mrs Bagshot – far too young to concern himself with thoughts of matrimony. But he – as his friends will attest and to his mother’s delight – finds himself stupidly in love after a mere moment’s acquaintance with Miss Evans.
The joy of being crossed in love so unexpectedly is hard to come by and even harder to act on.
A Jily Regency Romance told in Alexander Strathy’s twelve Quadrille steps: assemblé, jeté, glissade, sissonne, temps levé, chassé, échappé, pirouette, changement de jambe, pas battu, jeté tendu and jeté du côté.

End-of-2023 Update
I forgot to crosspost my November update from Patreon (in my defence, I was in Norway and then ill) so here is a mashup of November and December, wrapping up 2023 in one convenient post.
Book Stuff
I have finished an outline for the three remaining books of the series. This pass is just making very basic decisions about what gets included and what doesn’t, and roughly shaping the narrative so that I have a basic road map in place before getting creative. Cherry’s 600-page brick is actually quite lean when approached with this lens; I’m trying to let him make a lot of these decisions for me, but sometimes our priorities don’t really align and I’ve had to bring in other sources. Once this bullet-point list is done, then I go back over each section with my storytelling brain turned on, and go into greater narrative detail, so that when I write a script I only have to think about making a good script, and not structural matters. It’s a slow process, but it’s rewarding to feel that, after many months of chasing the whirlwind, I’m finally making forward progress on bringing books into the world.
Events
At the end of November, I made my first-ever trip to Oslo to speak at the 11th annual Roald Amundsen Memorial Lectures, a weekend of intense polar nerdery at the Fram Museum. Other speakers included scientists, explorers, filmmakers and musicians, all unified by a love of polar history, as well as a recreation of the celebratory dinner given for Amundsen on his successful return from the South Pole in 1912. It was a spectacularly good time, and highly recommended to anyone who might be inclined to go to that sort of thing in future. I will have to go back sometime to give the Fram Museum more dedicated attention, as the talks took up most of my time there and I hardly got to explore.
In December, I was supposed to have been a historical guest on a Zoom panel discussing Ralph Vaughan Williams’ Sinfonia Antarctica, which started life as the score to the 1948 film Scott of the Antarctic.  However, too many of us were ill on the scheduled date, so it was deferred to January 15th. I will share the link, when it becomes available, over on Patreon; should a publicly-accessible recording be produced, I will share that here. The panel also includes Polar historiographer Anne Strathie, who will be bringing her expertise on Herbert Ponting and his photographs in particular, and two experts from the States, who will be approaching the material from a biographical and musical perspective, respectively.
An online event which did come off was being one half of the second keynote of Terror Camp, an online gathering that mashes up a fan convention and academic conference. The esteemed nonfiction-writer-turned-novelist Francis Spufford and I talked about writing Polar history, from two very different perspectives. It was excellent fun and seemed to have been received well; I don’t know if the recording is available to those who weren’t registered in advance for the event, but if you’re desperate to see it, it may be worth asking.
Media
I came back from Norway with a stack of books and one DVD. Being ill through the greater part of December gave me a chance to start tackling them, and I’ve written a bit about some of them on December’s Patreon Update, because there wasn’t much else to write. Feel free to nip over there if you’re curious; the post is, like all Updates, open to the public.
If you’d like to hear the guys you mostly only see in photos, you may appreciate this fine programme from the vaults of Radio New Zealand: https://www.ngataonga.org.nz/search-use-collection/search/28712/ It’s RNZ’s take on the 50th anniversary of the Expedition, including many clips from the parallel BBC programme for which my beloved tapes of Sir Charles Wright were recorded. This show also contains a good deal from Tom Clissold, who was living in New Zealand by then, and T. Griffith Taylor.  Many thanks to the intrepid Allegra Rosenberg for finding this and bringing it to my attention.
Also hot off Allegra’s desk is the followup to Antarctic Lovebirds, looking at further communications between Atkinson and Pennell, and their lives post-Expedition.  I challenge anyone not to be a little bit in love with these guys.
On Patreon
I’ve started doing themed months on Patreon. November’s theme was Scott’s Ponies, and saw the following posts (currently available to Patrons only):
Equine Studies
The Backstory of Scott’s Ponies
A Guide to Scott’s Ponies
The theme for December’s posts was Writing, which included:
The Art of Adaptation
The Master Timeline, Again
Understanding the Characters
The Shape Of The Rest Of The Series
There was also a secret post for the Paper Money tier, who get bonus behind-the-scenes features. The Writing theme will probably spill over into January a bit, but with one or two more visually-oriented posts if I can manage it.
If you want to see what Patreon is like without committing to anything, you can sign up for a week’s free trial at almost any tier, and read as much as you can cram in your eyeballs in that time. You can also subscribe directly to the Free tier and you will get Updates like this, as well as any posts that get made public. Of course, if you feel moved to toss a little cash into the potato pot to support the creation of these graphic novels, that is greatly appreciated, and you get weekly posts in return.
–––––––––
2023 is a mixed year to look back on.  On one hand, I did a lot of things; on the other, I made vastly less progress than expected.  I think, primarily, I underestimated how much time and energy the publicity rounds would demand; I thought I could juggle that stuff with getting the research in order, and it turns out, I really could not.  I think I know better now what sort of events are worth it and which aren’t, but whether I’ll be allowed to act on that knowledge in future, I don’t know.  Even excluding the bookselling business, it felt like every time I had a span of work time, something would come up that would keep me from working – December’s illnesses being the latest example, but in a long string of unforeseen somethings that had to be accommodated.  I don’t remember this happening when I had a “real” job, and I’m not sure why.  2024 isn’t looking much better in this regard: I already know that January, February, probably May-ish, and possibly September are compromised.  I need to figure out how to use these as bookends to keep me focused between times, rather than letting them be derailing distractions.  (Any advice here is gratefully accepted.) But I have at least got the ball rolling on writing, so as long as I keep chipping away on that, I ought to inch forward … and once the writing is done, the drawing, which is the fun part!

One Dress a Day Challenge
June: Weddings
Moulin Rouge / Nicole Kidman as Satine
This gown is worn for a wedding scene in a play-within-a-play, so maybe it's cheating a tiny bit on the theme? But I think it counts! As I recall, the play is set in India, but this is just meant to be a fantasy costume with vague Indian inspiration along the lines of Theda Bara's version of ancient Egyptian costume for Cleopatra--a film made not so long after this movie is set.
This costume is currently in a museum in Australia; here is a link to a detailed writeup of its construction. According to their article, it is made of ivory rayon crepe with embroidered panels of "stylised floral motifs in raised metallic silver thread and silver pearling (coils), with silver sequins, clear, pale pink and pale green beads and diamantes."
I've heard it said that no one is "meh" on this movie--it's either love or hate. Well, I successfully managed a "meh." I liked it but didn't love it, and I've only seen it once. But it definitely has an idiosyncratic, stylish look to it that sticks with you. I think it deserved its Oscar for costume design, by Catherine Martin and Angus Strathie.
This article has a good analysis of the movie's costumes. I particularly like the observation about how an authentic period wardrobe would not have suited the tone of the movie or what it was trying to do.

J. Cleevely - edited (long long title but extremely interesting) Mr. Midshipman Hornblower — C.S. Forester (reread, wow I forgot how relatable he is), The Surgeon’s Mate — Patrick O’Brian (took me ages but I loved it)
Current Read: Reasons to Stay Alive — Matt Haig, Reaper Man — Terry Pratchett (an excellent autumnal book, plus the ultimate comfort novel), Birdie Bowers: Captain Scott’s Marvel — Anne Strathie (tbh it’s been taking me so long to finish because well, wee bit heavy)
