December???
Goodness me! How on earth did that happen?
Well, where I live the ground sparkles with frost, the air bites the throat as it slips down to cool the lungs, I’ve had to buy some scrapers for the car windscreen and I’ve now just realised that the heater in the office keeps on cutting out randomly for no reason that I can tell. Hmmm....

So. More hopefuls.
I put up my previous post a couple of days ago and almost as soon as I did, a ton of astonishingly good hopeful sets dropped and I just had to do a follow-up round-up. It’s tempting to shake your fist angrily at the capricious gods of SG, but that would be silly. They are being supremely generous, after all. It’s not...

This post is going to be a bit more in-depth than my usual round-up posts. Partly because I've got the time to be more in-depth, but mostly because there are certain sets that positively demand you linger over them, savour them and, once the initial impact fades a little, try and work out exactly why they work so well. So, here we go...

Dear me, this site...
It's almost impossible to keep up with the rate of release when it comes to sets and if, like me, you like to wax lyrical about your favourite girls, it's even more difficult to do so. This isn't a criticism, mind you - merely an observation that this site has a (very) great deal to offer.

Erudite and richly written, the series has sunk its hooks into me and is currently making me curse the fact that I have to work for a living. I've just started the second book, 'Claw of the Conciliator'. It's set in a future so...

Anyone else watching 'Dark'? That weird German time-travelling psychological mindfuckfest on Netflix? Because maybe you should...
Autumn is coming! Yes, I know. It doesn't quite have the same ring, does it? Anyway, if the weather we're currently experiencing in the UK is anything to go by, autumn is actually here. And pretty miserable it is, too: rain, damp, huge puddles, overflowing drains, rain, falling leaves turning to mulch and, well, rain.
So it's a good job this site exists. And it...

Well, the site goes from strength to strength and I find myself once more inspired to highlight four of the recent hopeful sets that have wowed, enchanted and hooked me. Below is a partial list. It's always partial, because the site puts out so many amazing sets it's simply impossible to keep up with them all. Anyhoo, here we go...
First up is @jases whose...

The site has, quite honestly, stunned me over the last couple of weeks with the quality and diversity of hopeful sets. I don’t have the time to do them all justice here – and that does upset me a bit, to be honest – but I’d like to point you in the direction of the following sets that particularly caught my eye.
First up is...
