1. ASOIAF: Your top five pairings. Gushing is a bonus.Sandor/Sansa : hit me hard from reading the book. It's an interesting mix of creepy and sweet and a great execution of the classic Beauty & Beast archetype. I remember when I first finished read CoK I went back to re-read all their chapters together

that scene where Jaime is all "Loras is minime!"

Pretty much, yeah! And that was definitely the scene for me where it went from "two of the canonically best looking guys -- I bet there's a ship for it out there" to "OMG OTP!"

Yay, Saruman!

WHOA HELLO NEW LAYOUT. I like it, by the way.

Jaime/Brienne, OTP FOREVER. That's all.

I'm so with you on the language thing - I write almost exclusively in English and have a ridiculously hard time writing fiction in French when I try. I think (for me) it has to do with the fact that back in the days when I was a regular D&Der, everything was in English. At any rate, Fantasy, for me, only works in English (and that goes for reading as well as writing, for some reason.) I love me some historical fiction in French, though.

I like your thoughts on Tolkien. I think the Silmarillion presents shades of gray even more visibly than LOTR, actually. But of course I'm preaching for my own parish because I have a HUGE THING for the sons of Feanor. >.> And for Finweans in general.

I think Grima could be very interesting to examine, actually - but I'm not as much a LOTR fan as I am of the Silm, which might be why I never quite thought of him that way before you brought him up. Gollum is awesome for ever.
