There isn't much to read. The way the RP works has a LOT of handwaving. It was really that I asked permission from the mods, then posted an announcement OOC that there were now glitter golem traps positioned all over London (where most of the characters are), and anyone who wanted to could choose to run into one and post about it. A handful of people did, and we did a few AIM logs with other characters being glittered, but that's about the extent of it.
Judah is an epic enough character that I only bring him out when I KNOW I have a situation where I can play him completely IC and it will work. I may relate to him deeply, but he isn't ME and he has a certain TONE about him that just can't be played all the time because it's exhausting trying to keep that up.
I think Mieville's writing has a very specific sort of audience. I love it first and foremost because of his style, and second because of his ideas. Just everything about his world concept makes me blissed out with geek glee. He's envisioned a world where all the coolest aspects of sci-fi and fantasy can exist together without it feeling like an anachronism clusterfuck. So you get mad scientists a la Repo! right alongside Tolkienish high-fantasy critters with nods to Russian myth and culture and tons of other things which are all just magnificent to me.
