Hokay, so I'm writing my BA thesis (which, yes, y'all heard about time and again, and well, get ready for more, because right now this is mostly what's on my brain. I apparently speak of it while sleeping. Srsly

Po pierwsze - WORD o Sapkowskim! To samo zawsze powtarzam

[novin_ha]

A! I jeszcze postać stojąca za plecami władcy, musząca manipulować i oszukiwać, nienawidzona ale działająca dla dobra kraju.

I władca, który by byc dobrym władcą musi dokonywać złych czynów. Mniejsze zło...

Zdrajcy. I zdrada w ogóle, zwłaszcza, gdy dokonywana dla Wyższego Dobra.

Aaaaaaaaah! Why I write Giles/Buffy, all wrapped up with a bow!

[noelia_g]

Why I read it, too :D. Giles/Buffy hits so many kinks of mine it's scary.

I'm such a biology geek that I had to comment just to say I how much I heart your username :D May wander over to read your fiction later on too.

:) I love the word. Also the grotesque-and-silly-at-once image of feet growing out of a bug's head.

[noelia_g]

Why wouldn't you be allowed?

*rolls eyes*

I think the answer was kind of conveyed in the rhetoric question above. Duh.

I want lucidly!insane!Jones. SRSLY. And generally, evil!Jones.

Heroes thing. I don't think they are unlikely. More like, the very definition of the anti-hero (who is, actually, a hero, after all). I love them too. Much more than all the Chosen Ones. However, in one thing I differ. I don't want them to stop when the threat is gone. I want them to go on being heroes, even if they're telling themselves they're not, if they're telling themselves they can stop any moment, this is just temporary, one more good deed and they can take their reward and hightail from there... only they never do.

Also, evil!Jones. Please? I'll go with the pon farr thing if I can have this.

[noelia_g]

Gtalk please

I love literary allusions - be it rewriting some well-known story, using elements off it, or just quoting - I'm there. Especially if it is not *that* easy to spot.

I like stories which feature angels; at a time I would read everything in which devil appeared (The Sandman wins the competition, with Perez-Reverte's Club Dumas close behind).

Characters:

* (evil) masterminds - Vetinari
* the guys that really aren't that nice, but they still do the right thing - Vimes, House
* strong smart female characters - bonus points for their being outsiders (Susan Sto Helit, Veronica Mars, Dr Brennan from Bones)
* characters that grow up and learn over the course of the story (Sansa Stark from A song of ice and fire)

I also love snark, witty dialogues, one-liners... And a whole lot of other things, which don't spring to my mind now ;)

Literary allusions, YES. I know this makes me an absolute snob in reading habits, but I'll kill for a good literary reference. And not, like certain American TV shows go on with 'As Sartre said, blah blah'. No, I want them hidden and hinted on, so I can find them and go WOAH, duh, yes. YES.

Another of mine, men who keep on doing the right thing even if they don't really want to, even if they are not heroes. Vimes is an excellent example, and I think Pratchett does it again with Moist, only on the different level. House, yes. In some ways, Giles, whom I consider quite a bastard too, but love him anyway.

God yes to the learning characters. One thing that annoys me like nothing else is when the characters learn nothing. And a thing that pisses me even more (House, recently, Stargate Atlantis too), is when they *learn*, and then the writers take them back, as if the character development never happened. Argh.
