Grimlock ♥ Ultra Magnus

I've been thinking about ARCs.  I have some that I should have read a while ago and I got overwhelmed.  I have some that are newer.  But the Crossroads ARC scandal has got me thinking: what can I do?  I mean, saying this is awful is something that makes me proud: this community is not putting up with this attitude or entitlement silently. 

But is there something I could do other than speak?   Is there something I could do that would benefit authors?

Yes, I can.   I can start cracking on those ARCs.   I'm going to go through some books I picked up at Readercon - books that publishers donated, or ARCs they sent specifically - and start on the ones I'm most interested in first.   Then I'll go to older ARCs. 

I'm not going to delude myself into thinking this will become a thing, but if anyone wants to join me, I'd love to hear from you guys.  I know some of you already do this, and that's fantastic.   For those who don't run a blog outside of BL, or who have fallen behind, I'd love to hear from you guys if you're going to march ahead. 

First up: reading that book I've been working on for feedback - yesterday sucked and it didn't get done, and then the ARCs.  I'm going to put off my comics for at least a week.   And that might not sound like a huge sacrifice, but they are my reason d'être lately, so it is.   You're welcome, authors.   I know you don't feel entitled to this, but I also want to show my appreciation, so that welcome isn't nearly as sarcastic as someone might think. (Jeez, it reads that way to me.  I might know myself too well...)
