Barbara Cartland is best known for penning “risqué” (though they rarely contained anything of an, ah, suggestive nature) thrillers, plays, and romance novels with titles like The Bitter Winds of Love, and The Wicked Marquis, and penning a lot of them. She holds the world record for most books written in a single year (twenty-three, in 1983 when she was fifty-eight), and has been named the top selling author in the world by Guinness. She sold more than a billion books over her career, with a total of nearly nine hundred novels, one hundred and sixty of which were published posthumously.
But what she isn’t well known for, as io9 shows us today, is her contributions to aviation and, relatedly, the war effort in England during WWII.

When Romance Writers Ink listed the rules for their 2012 More Than Magic contest for published romance writers, they made sure that they’d be able to accomodate everyone. Their international network of judges were romance fans, and no matter what genre you write in, no matter how steamy (or innocent) your story was, they had a judge for you. Tentacles? Got that. Medieval history? Got that. Vampires? Single moms? Secret agents? Young professionals? They’ve got a judge who they knew would be able to see the content of your story in a not-unfavorable light, and be able to judge it for its quality.
Unless your story was about two dudes or two ladies.

You know you’ve had fantasies about it before. You’re a gorgeous lady in times before social networking — back when social networking actually involved being social. A handsome gentleman caller approaches you warmly, caressing your neck. You invite him up to a lofty bedroom with velvet draping and scented oils (or something). He begins to kiss you gently, you return the kisses … it’s getting hotter, and you just can’t stand the thought of your hands on anything but each other! You rip off his coat, he tears open your dress, revealing heaving bosoms, suffocating against the confines of a whale-bone corset! Take me, Dr. Egon Spengler! Take me now!
Except all of this would be highly inaccurate. Because romance novelist Deeanne Gist has gotten to the bottom of all the lacy underthing mysteries and debunked bodice-ripping scenes like the one I just described at the annual convention for Romance Writers of America. But a girl can dream (if that’s her thing).

Things We Saw Today is going to be picture lite today. I guess maybe it’s Things We Read Today. (chart from I Love Charts, via mental_Floss.)

Says Alex Holder of her couple portraits:
Sometimes we sit for hours staring at a sea shell. Other times he’ll hold me by the neck in front of the pyramids. But there’s nothing we like more than nearly kissing each other near some horses. I always try to look hot in front of him so he doesn’t leave me.
Sounds good, Alex. We can’t wait to see the one where you have a third hand.
(Two more portraits here, via The Hairpin.)
Because teenagerdom is a mess, but some people handle it better than others.

Somebody thinks I'm a hypocrite for disliking the Merida redesign and supporting a Wonder Woman show at the same time. ¯\(°_o)/¯

If we can get Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, can I get a Gatsby retelling where he's not just new money… he's a vampire?

Tell me that somebody, somewhere, has written Gandalf M-preg fanfic with the title "A Wizard is Never Late."

The Voyager crew is in 1996 LA. Also Ed Begley and Sarah Silverman are there. I LOVE IT when Star Trek does cheesy time travel.

Sometimes I watch http://t.co/lCxhirSZyK and just think about the ways the DCU would be more/less interesting if Superman had stayed dead.
