Sweet Procrastination

Stolen from both [livejournal.com profile] cerebel and [livejournal.com profile] weirdfromafar!

Give me a character from any fandom you know I am into and I will tell you:
a. My favourite thing about that character.
b. My least favourite thing about that character.
c. One person I would ship them with in their own verse.
d. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat.

personal canon whore

Ganked from [livejournal.com profile] babel and [livejournal.com profile] laurus_nobilis:

Name a character and I'll tell you three (or more) facts about him/her from my own personal pseudo-canon


And I promise I'll have those last two character comment replies done. Very soon. But today, the book review, it is done. Ugh - I don't know what it is with my addled little brain, but writing is a complete and utter bitch these days. It's like my head is full of fluff and I can't find a coherent phrase (much less one well-turned) to save my life. And my typos and grammar mistakes!

Forgive my crankiness, but I just needed to vent.

summer is for lounging and memes

Ganked from [livejournal.com profile] laurus_nobilis - and most of you know my fandoms. If you're uncertain about one, just ask!

1. Comment in this post with a pairing, a character, or a threesome.

2. I shall write you back a paragraph explaining what I think about it (good, bad, indifferent) and why.

3. Let's discuss / argue / CAPSLOCK at each other about it! I only ask that you don't get insulted, angry, mean, or stupid.

Sharing the Fandom Love

If you noticed with my last two meme posts, there's a few new characters up there, most of whom have something to do with the ships of the Royal Navy during the Napoleanic Wars. Two series in particular - Patrick O'Brian's Master and Commander series and the Horatio Hornblower series, both the books and the A&E movies. I recommend both to you, and with the approach of the Trafalgar Bicentennial, I'm gobbling up all kinds of books about the Age of Sail (including non-fiction), there will be further recommendations. And hopefully lots of icons. And obligatory references to Age of Sail characters in random works. But for now, some words on these series mentioned above - with some special notes about the Hornblower series.
