Fausterella

If these seems like an eclectic, or more accurately random, collection of links, that’s because the only connection between them is me. All I can say is that a lot of my friends have websites (and bands and blogs and films and important things to say) and those websites are great, and that’s why they’re here.

Books, theatre, TV, music, film, media, games

• Ghostwoods: the home of Tim Dedopulos, a British writer, editor, publisher and game designer.
• Life in the Cheap Seats, Webcowgirl’s London theatre reviews.
• Sunday Driver: Asian-influenced steampunk folk-rock
• The Donutsh, a North London-based rock band
• The Word Birds Poetry Showecase: an expanding network which is open to women of any nationality who write poetry in the English language.
• Pat Kelman: actor, director, film-maker
• Terrible Minds: some very useful advice on writing and getting published from writer Chuck Wendig.
• Sophie Sampson: designer of games and other cool things
• Treasury Islands: a blog about children’s literature

• Frontline Hackney: A third sector lawyer writes about what makes him mad, sad, and happy to be human.
• Lisy Babe’s Blog: “Disability, film, TV, disability in film & TV, funny things, politics and lots of me ranting.”
• Where’s the Benefit: Campaigning against the government’s distressing war on disabled benefit claimants
• Choler: Politics and society from a socialist perspectiv
• Race Revolt: “a zine on race politics by feminists and queers”

Miscellaneous

And finally: my teeshirt shop.

Please note that if you order a Fausterella teeshirt, you can edit the text to be anything you like, so if you’ve ever had a good teeshirt idea but can’t be bothered to open a shop, here’s your chance to get a one-off.

I should also mention that the Fausterella shirts aren’t designed to be advertising for my blog or anything (it’s not as though I make any money from the blog!), I just like the slogan.
