I've been remiss. Not that there was much to be remiss about.

Someone not liking Tarrant is like someone not liking chocolate: I know intellectually that it's possible, but it just does not compute. *g*

(Did you get my email yesterday?)

[lavvyan]

He's going to die, isn't he? The author seems like someone who kills the audience's darlings (also, I don't see how things could get resolved without him dead).

Incidentally, I don't like chocolate much. Still got enough for my birthday and Christmas that I won't have to buy any for the next two years, though. *g*

(I did, but I only got home a few hours ago and am still trying to catch up while also stowing away all the remaining stuff I brought from the old appartment.)

[trobadora]

Do you want spoilers? Anything I could say would be very spoilery for the ending. But suffice it to say that I don't think anyone anticipated what she did in the end. *g*

You? Are a deeply weid person. I boggle at the idea of chocolate lasting longer than a week or two at most, no matter how much there might be!

[lavvyan]

I don't mind spoilers in this case, so: hit me. *g*

Two drawers full of chocolate! I'd like to see you eat that within two weeks! ;)

I could share?

Mmm, I love Fire from Heaven. More than a few of my Alexander fics were inspired by that novel.

[lavvyan]

You wrote Alexander fics? *perks up*

[ex_kisa_haw]

That was the first fandom I ever wrote in! I wrote a mixed bag of the Oliver Stone movie (god, Jared Leto's hair!) and Fire from Heaven and actual history. They're here. I'd say probably 90% drabbles. I started my fandom writing on a pretty small scale.

[lavvyan]

Mmmmm, I'll definitely put those on my reading list. ♥

I didn't like Fire from Heaven as much as The Persian Boy, but maybe that's because I read the latter first. Reading the second one in the "series" tends to screw up my book-radar. /o\
But I love Mary Renault's love affair with semi-colons.

I kind of want to read the Coldfire series now that someone mentioned the first book is kind of like a D&D campaign. This probably says something about me.

[lavvyan]

I know what you mean. I started reading Anne Rice's Queen of the Damned and then worked my way back to Interview with the Vampire. Which, yeah. *coughs*

As a pen & paper RPG person myself, I say go for it!

[larcley]

P&P is super-sexy, omg. You are my hero.

...And since I have nothing better to do this summer...why, hello, Coldfire series!
