Fanfic Friday: Fallen Star by Alydia Rackham

Fallen Star cover from Fanfiction.net

 Welcome to the very first Fanfic Friday on Drink Read Love. Today we're going to look at Alydia Rackham's Lokane fic Fallen Star. I'm so excited for this feature. It won't be an every week thing, but I hope to do it at least once a month, maybe more if there are things like movie openings, shows starting back up after breaks, that type of thing.

It seemed appropriate to have the first Fanfic Friday be a fic by Alydia Rackham since this week's book review was on her novel The Paradox Initiative. In the Author Q&A on Wednesday, she answered a few questions about her fanfiction writing process, her role in starting the Lokane fandom (more on that in a minute), and specifically on a series she did called The Lokistone Universe. The biggest reason I wanted to do Fanfic Friday this week is because - aside from the fact that her fanfics are sell-in-a-bookstore-in-hardcopy-format quality, fanfic is how I was first introduced to the world of Alydia Rackham's writings. Her fics drew me in and eventually, I went looking at her original novels on Amazon and voila. New favorite author all around.

fanfiction.

Happy Hump Day! Today, I've got a lovely Q&A with Alydia Rackham about her original novel The Paradox Initiative (following up on the review I did on Monday) and some of her other works including a little bit about her fanfiction, which I'll be doing a blog post about on Friday since that was how I was first introduced to her works. But for now, grab a drink, pull up a chair, and join us for our little chat.

Book Review: The Paradox Initiative by Alydia Rackham

Welcome back to Drink Read Love, and happy Monday. This week, I'm happy to introduce you to one of my favorite up and coming authors, Alydia Rackham. Rackham does a variety of types of work including fanfiction (which was how I was first introduced to her writing, but more on that later this week), screenplays, and original novels. Today, I'll be reviewing one of her novels, The Paradox Initiative. Wednesday we'll have an Author Q&A with Alydia Rackham herself. Friday, I'll have my first Fanfic Friday, and it seems fitting to talk about her fanfic that introduced me to he writing. It's going to be a blast. But for now, let's get down to business with The Paradox Initiative.
