still not yet midnight here!

So I still have time to slip in fervent happy birthday wishes to [livejournal.com profile] ina, a wonderful friend, fangirl, tour guide, okonomiyaki cook, and just an all around great person and someone I'm so happy to be able to know. :) I hope you had a lovely day and that you have a good visit back home, and as we've said many times I can't wait until we can meet again (in Japan!). ♥♥♥

Book-wise today I snagged the latest installment in [livejournal.com profile] naominovik's Temeraire series and just finished it about an hour ago. An excellent read, as always, although a little darker than the previous books. And, okay, my Napoleonic-era history is not very strong so I had no idea that Wellesley would end up as Wellington and laughed out loud at the reveal at the end. And Temeraire and Laurence are going to [livejournal.com profile] wintersjuly-land Australia! *_* ...which in retrospect should not have surprised me since I remember reading a comment from an Australian fan saying Novik had told her the sixth book would take place in Australia, ahahaha. Also no characters died that I can't live without and there's more of my very favorite character (THARKAY ♥_♥ would anyone like to write me Tharkay fic) and I have high hopes that he will figure prominently in the next books since... there aren't as many people in Australia to compete with him for screen time. :D I did want to see what happened to Ferris, though, I hope he came out of everything all right. I seem to easily become attached to the crew officers; Granby is another big favorite, although admittedly moreso before he became a captain. >_> Everyone I know seems to be into the Laurence/Temeraire which is all well and good but I wouldn't mind some purely human slashfic. Pick two of the following and combine: Laurence, Granby, Tharkay. :D)

What it really makes me want is crossover fic, though. *g* The books haven't touched much on Japan yet; why not kill your historical AU and fantasy AU needs with one stone and write about the Japanese coverts (only they wouldn't be called coverts) and like. Captains Jin and Yamapi and Kame. Only they wouldn't be called captains, either, they'd be... maybe samurai are the ones attached to dragons. This calls for further thought.


I realize to everyone who has not read these books (and possibly to those who have) I sound insane.

edit: oh oh, okay, this meme looks really fun: the sing to me! meme. :D no, it does not actually involve any of you having to sing. just... okay, basically it's a songcall. *g*

...............*snorts* me too. XD

(the other idea i had a long time ago was for a dragonriders-of-pern fusion. XD [livejournal.com profile] lilmatchgirl007 and i have had several discussions about this. you can either have kame be the rider and jinth be the dragon, or you can have kame and jin both be riders and yamapi be jin's shiny bronze dragon :DDDDDDD and someone like... maki would be kame's green. um. have you ever actually read any anne mccaffrey. >_>)

*BEAMS*

(XDDDD have never read pern stuff - i gave up a few pages into one of the books XD

well. i think pi should be the dragon, purely because he's got terrible hair at the moment and to make him a human would be a crime to humanity (but not dragonity, apparently). :/

and well. i think maru should be kame's dragon. because poor maru never makes it into fic ):)

aw, futsuu nakamaru. well i suppose that could be done. i was set on making kame a green rider because i liked the idea of him and his female dragon companion but i suppose he could have poor ordinary maru. maruth. ahahahaha. *easily amused*

your powers of deduction are as keen as ever. :D

*still cackling at the thought of kyonkyonth*

[personal profile] ina 2008-07-09 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
But KyonKyon would be a gold dragon, and nobody would have expected Kame to get one. Because at the hatching he would still be in the awkward bushy eyebrow phase. Forgot that gold dragons have female riders. But if green dragons got male riders...

I approve! :D
ext_20958: (but *why* is the rum gone?)

[identity profile] acchikocchi.livejournal.com 2008-07-09 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
...............you are ALSO a genius omg ahahahahahaha. THAT IS WHY THEY ARE NOT EXPECTING IT, RIGHT, because gold dragons always have female riders besides the bushy eyebrow factor. *CRACKING UP*

[identity profile] acchikocchi.livejournal.com 2008-07-09 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
......but the whole idea with making them both dragonriders was so they could, you know, actually sleep together.

I see that EVEN WHEN I CONSIDER AKAME FIC it doesn't satisfy you. *sniff*

...it was? lsdkjf i had kind of abandoned that for the lulz. XD

sjakdlsjkl okay so that is kind of a traumatizing thought. You could get around it! Maybe! *thinks hard*

(That's originally why I had Maki the green but, but, Kyonkyon the gold is so fantastic... XD)

[identity profile] corimari.livejournal.com 2008-07-14 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
okay totally late to this party ([livejournal.com profile] ina linked alskjd;flasdf) but now ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT IS K'AME OR J'IN alksdjflkajsdf this is absolutely absurd. also fantastic. now i want to reread pern alksdjfl;aksjdf f'nor was my fave, not gonna lie. I LIKED THE UNDERRATED SEMI-EXILED BROTHER BETTER, LOL.
