Yay!

Thanks Jes. :)

Thanks. Even though it's academic, I put a lot of heart into it. I wrote it chiefly for myself and for the fans, not as some academic exercise to talk about deconstruction and Marxism or whatever. The book really comes out of my own love for the show, and my deep appreciation for the fans--hell, I'm one too.

So this is for all of you! Hope you enjoy.

Also, the book has an alien lexicon, which the wonderful folks at the Farscape Encyclopedia Project let me use with permission. So fan work is actually published within the book. And there are pictures, including: Rygel in S/M gear, Aeryn mourning on Valdon, Stark and Crichton in prison, and the Scarran blood vow between Scorpius and Crichton (so hot)

Ooooh, this looks good. :D Putting it on my wish list. Too bad I'm not allowing myself to spend any more money for, like, the next century. But I do have a birthday coming up. :D :D
