You know what would be nice? If Livejournal had friends-only rss feeds. I can subscribe to a friend’s journal, but I can’t read the entries they’ve marked as friends-only unless I visit the LJ site. Which sort of defeats the purpose of subscribing through an aggregator.

Or am I missing something? Is there a way to subscribe to all the entries?

The book with everything:

The book has to be a graphic novel which is the first novel published by the author, a person of color who is an active and well-liked member of SFWA. It must be initially published in Canada, in French, as a paperback original, with simultaneous British and North American English-language editions following about ten minutes after, and a Japanese translation already in the works. It must satisfy the genre expectations of hard SF, mythopoeic fantasy, horror, alternate history, and romance, have positive gay or lesbian or bisexual or transgendered characters, and include examinations of gender, gender identity, racial identity, class, and libertarianism, while not being unsuitable for younger readers. Also, it has to have poetry in it. And a vampire.

It will sweep the SF and Fantasy awards, winning them all, but of course nobody will ever read it.
