I need some reading recommendations!

I just finished Cinda Williams Chima's Seven Realms series (based on a rec from this community), and now I need some more book recommendations! Random fantasy series I've liked: Lunar Chronicles, Graceling, Abhorsen series, Maria V. Snyder's Study books. I'd like some fantasy book recs (but easy reading, I'd like a break from George RR Martin and Brandon Sanderson, etc.), but anything anyone is reading and liking right now would be nice to hear about!

Digimon being revived next year, with the original characters

It is really quite hard to describe what this show meant to me. I started watching when I was eleven years old, about to start middle school and in kind of an odd place socially where I was beginning to notice the widening gap between me and my current friends. Over the summer, I was obsessed. Watched the reruns- I had a Digimon backpack, went to Taco Bell to collect the horrible metal trading cards. Went online, read spoilers, read fanfiction, printed pictures out in black and white so I could color them.

When I started the sixth grade, it was traumatic in more ways than one, but this show is what I remember comforting me the most. I went to see the movie, and still own the (objectively terrible but nostalgically amazeballs) soundtrack. School was harder than it had ever been, and none of my more distant former friends shared classes with me. I had an incredibly harsh and intimidating English teacher. One day, I was sitting by the lockers finishing an essay for her and another girl sat next to me, doing the same. Then she pointed to the margins of my paper, where I had lots of doodles of all the crest symbols from the show. We struck up a conversation.

We're still extremely close now.

In fact, five minutes after I read the announcement, I texted.

Me: Did you hear they're rebooting Digimon?
Her: Hell yeah!
Me: the summary mentions friragrra lrne byq Gn
Her: Fb nsgre 02?
Me: be ergpbaavat vg
Her: cyrnfr ergpba GX naq Xnev gbtrgure

*reposting from last week's thread because I think it's a nice thing to see all week*

So, Mark may not have won a Hugo, but he did meet David Tennant, which is just as good, really.

This should probably be in the Black Market, but I am asking for help/ideas first, so I thought I'd post here in case some of you that don't frequent the Black Market might be able to help me. :)

My girlfriend has a pro Dropbox acct, and barely uses much of the space, so let me have access to it. I uploaded the first three seasons of Mark Watching SPN for a friend, and since they're already uploaded somewhere I wanted to share it with the Black Market. BUT. Dropbox has a 200GB a day traffic limit, and I KNOW THIS COMMUNITY lol and with 60 files/22GB, that's not a stretch that that might get hit, and I don't want my GF to be blocked out of her own acct for even a day.

She suggested I share it on an episode by episode/person by person basis, but that feels too messy and still too much room for high traffic. I'm not always good with logistics, so thought I'd ask if anyone had a good ideas of a safe way to share them?

Tribble314 needs help naming a thing!
So I'm hoping to release my spoiler-free edition of Star Trek CCG 2nd Edition soon, but I need something to call it. The folder it's in is called MW-StarTrek2E, but it just occurred to me that I shouldn't co-opt the "Mark Watches" name. It's for this community, but it's not something he's a part of. (Though I'd be more than happy to teach him the game! I'll be running teaching games for anyone who wants to learn.)

Here's a few ideas:
- Trek CCG at Mark-Speed
- Star Trek CCG Spoiler-Free
- Star Trek CCG: The Spoiler-Free Generation
- Spoils Trek
- Trek Spoils

Let me know if any one of these strike your fancy, or if one really doesn't. Feel free to suggest your own too!

Just back from the after-con Mark event! It was actually my very first fan thing ever. I'm taking the facts that it was hilarious and I got past a very mild panic attack to count it as a victory. Also;

Sorry.

I just want to say that every time I come to this post and see "Crackers Don't Matter", I can't help giggling and agreeing.

Especially as my browser window is next to my Tweetdeck full of RTs about Ferguson.
I saw Daniel Radcliffe's new movie What If this weekend!

Unciphered expectation spoilers and ciphered plot spoilers in the reply.

(Apparently it's titled The F Word in places other than the US and the UK, so you might know it under that name)
