Over the past couple of years, I've gotten many PMs, emails, AO3 comments saying something to the effect of...."Oh you must really love Game of Thrones, right? Your username!" And I'd would just politely demur, to their puzzlement.

It's true, I've been 'khaleesian' since 2000. I started reading ASOIAF in 1997. But I have not willingly watched past S1 of Game of Thrones, despite my friends and complete strangers saying 'Why ever not? It's so goood! Why don't you watch?'

And it's been rough, biting my tongue, not wanting to inadvertently spoil anyone...but finally I can just smile and say: "That's why."

I have been here several times and never seen it lit up like this. It's actually a much darker, more atmospheric place. This picture doesn't do it the slightest justice. 

Basilica Cistern (by maxunterwegs)

The Basilica Cistern (Turkish: Yerebatan Sarayı - “Sunken Palace”, or Yerebatan Sarnıcı - “Sunken Cistern”), is the largest of several hundred ancient cisterns that lie beneath the city of Istanbul (formerly Constantinople), Turkey. The cistern, located 500 feet (150 m) southwest of the Hagia Sophia on the historical peninsula of Sarayburnu, was built in the 6th century during the reign of Byzantine Emperor Justinian I.

Baby, you're my angel, you're my darling angel

I have had guests non-stop for the past month, for the past week it's been very close girlfriends staying with me. Early this morning we had this exchange:

Her: what are you doing up so early?

me: research for a story I'm writing. 

Her: (looking over my shoulder) Wow, that guy's built like a house. 

me: (very quietly) Yeah. 

Her: (eyes going glassy) A nice house!
