casualties of war

I would say that this is all pellucere's fault, but we are at a truce now and must show the highest level of maturity. Actually, I blame to useless llama badges on deviantart, but okay:

LOLOLOLOL

omg, I can't wait for this book. The inhibition alone makes my spine tingle. XD

I know! I feel like a derp for posting this three months before July, lol.

Derp away! I know I am XD. Also, I feel like there's going to be a whole new influx of fans since the Penny Arcade shoutout. Which, while I totally want it for this series, I'm also like "it's my little secret of awesomeness!." And that sentence made no grammatical sense whatsoever, but you knew what I meant. XD

Penny Arcade shout out? I MUST SEE THIS.

You know, my first thought upon finding out in book five that Laurence and Temeraire were off to Australia was that they'd somehow end up, if not actually in charge of the colony in some shape or form, they would at least whip these convicts in to shape (not literally). I'm envisioning Temeraire (and his posse) convincing the military government of the Australian convict colonies that the best way to keep order is by creating a mini dragon utopia, treating them as equal citizens, etc. Like an Australian China.

And then they have a successful case study to point to when Temeraire returns to England and sits in front of parliament and demands dragon rights.

That was what I was hoping for too! But it doesn't seem that way at all. I can't say I'm disappointed though, I have faith that it will turn out exciting. :D

Oh, definitely. I trust Naomi Novik to make it awesome. I admit, I'm intrigued to see if Rankin improves as a person at all. Especially if one of those ferals' eggs imprints upon him.

Also, I want to mention that I ADORE the expressions in this piece of fanart, by the way, on Laurence's and llama!Temeraire's faces. :3

oooooh gaaawd. Thank you, lol.

why is everything you do so magnificent

I may have shed a tear at the picture

And the grey background for ToS may be waves of sand, but it is such a lazy addition! It fits right in with the older paperback cover, but I thought they'd be doing better with the hardcovers, like with VoE.

t_lyrical April 13 2010, 04:04:54 UTC

Exactly! Sand just seems so boring and plain compared to BATTLING-SHIPS-UPON-THE-SEA composition. I didn't even mind the bright glaring red spine in VoE, lol.

and what you call magnificent is your own spawn.

you sent the first llama, Tan. my actions were in self-defense; no jury in the world would convict me 8|

I am undone. WHY YOU DO THIS TO ME, BB.

t_lyrical April 13 2010, 04:30:41 UTC

I DON'T KNOW. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but then I knew I had to stop when Yzma!Napoleon flashed in my mind. :|

I AM JUST SO GLAD YOU DID NOT JUST DEFRIEND ME FROM DISGUST, LOL.
