Oooooh, YOU are the Evert/Navratilova shipper! :D I hope you get some fic, because I don't know as much about them as I'd like to, and it'd be neat to learn more. :)

And Outlaws of Sherwood! I remember that book from when I was a kid. Mostly I remember being in love with Cecily, lol. Such a neat book.

lololol for like three years running I am the Evert/Navratilova shipper, and no dice so far... XD but fingers crossed! they're super adorbs and deserve lots of fic. (and give all current rival!shippers hope for the post-retirement future, haha.)

oh man, The Outlaws of Sherwood is one of those books I pick up and reread every year or so and every time it's SO GOOD. and there's a lot I didn't pick up on the first time I read it as a kid! I wish I could be half the writer Robin McKinley is.

I'm still waiting to see who's the Roddick/Mandy Moore shipper, lol. :) I was a bit surprised to see her in the tagset - that relationship was before my time.

I need to reread OoS. I remember it quite fondly. And yes, Robin McKinley is an amazing writer. Blue Sword was my favorite book as a kid.

truth! that prompt is definitely going to be a blast from somebody's past. :P

do it!!! and her newer books are super awesome too -- if you like vampires, Sunshine is my favorite vampire book ever. :D

Oooh, I haven't read Sunshine! I'm waffly on vampires - don't really dislike them or anything, just haven't really got into them - but if you recommend it I'll have to try it out. :)

well I'm clearly biased, but the main character in Sunshine is a professional baker, so in addition to vampire mythology you get SO MANY DESCRIPTIONS OF DESSERTS. I am weak.
