Mark Does Stuff Review Round-up: Week of April 7, 2017

Hello, readers and watchers! One of the reasons I wanted to have this site was to collect information in a central location, both for newcomers and for those of you who bounce in and out of the community. One of the most fascinating things about my fandom is how it fluctuates in waves based on what I'm reviewing. There's certainly a whole lot of you who read and post every day, but I also love the lurkers and the folks who come in for one series and then go about their lives for a while, only to return again. 

Thus, each Friday, I'll put up a post that just links to what reviews were posted this week so you can keep up with what I'm writing! Not a fancy post, but it serves a great purpose. THUS, HERE WE GO.

Mark Reads

The Fifth Elephant, Part 4: In which one of my favorite Discworld characters returns.
Wizard's Holiday, Epilogue: In which I am royally screwed up by a last-minute surprise.
The Fifth Elephant, Part 5: In which Colon is the worst.
Wizards at War Predictions: In which I am not ready.
The Fifth Elephant, Part 6: In which I try to figure out the mystery.

Mark Watches

Voyager 6x03: In which I discuss B'Elanna and biracial narratives.
Voyager 6x04: In which I discuss perspective, the Doctor, and uncriticized misogyny.
Voyager 6x05: In which Voyager tries to do something neat with Tom, but...
Voyager 6x06: In which I marvel at Tim Russ, but desire more.
Voyager 6x07: In which I am bewildered by the many things in this episode.

April Commissions: There are 14 videos this month, from the end of Every Heart a Doorway, to the season 2 finale of Killjoys, to the worst cliffhanger in Patreon history thanks to Broadchurch. 

I'll be Guest of Honor at HELIOsphere in 2018!

Since the news is out, I'm happy to share that I am a guest of honor at HELIOsphere in Tarrytown, NY next year! The convention takes place from March 9 - 11, 2018, and is a mere 37-minute train ride from Grand Central Station. Thus, if you're NYC-based, you should come hang out with us! I'm thrilled and honored that HELIOsphere has invited me and done so alongside Kameron Hurley and Cecilia Tan. (Seriously, I'm geeking out.) Hope to see you next year!

Welcome to my new site!

Hello, readers, watchers, and everyone in between! I've been working on this for a while in order to transition to having a more central location to announce things and collect the entire Mark Does Stuff universe. With the teaser announcement of my YA book now live and out in the world, it was time to debut my next secret! Please have a look around and check out the changes. I'll be doing a very light text redesign of Mark Reads and Mark Watches to link back to this site instead of having announcements spread about multiple sites and in different mediums.

From here on out, all announcements will be posted here first. You can also join my newsletter to get notifications straight to your inbox! Trust me, you'll want to join because I have SO MANY incredible things to tell you about my future as a YA author. 

All photos were taken by my good friend Rakeem Cunningham; please reach out to him if you're in Southern California and need some professional photography done. Everything else was assembled by yours truly, which is a goddamn miracle because I AM NEVER GOOD AT THESE THINGS.

Onwards into an exciting future!
