Yuletide musings

[rachelmanija]

I know I'm not the only one thinking about this already!

I have two interesting thoughts for Yuletide requests next year.

One, if Anne McCaffrey is still eligible, would be to fix the horrible misogynist fate of Mirrim, who was one of my very favorite characters in the early books. I was thrilled when she impressed a fighting dragon. But lo! She then turned into a horrible bitch whom everyone hated, and the nicest thing even her best friend Menolly could say about her was that she might be nicer once she got raped laid.

My possible Yuletide request: Write dragonrider Mirrim the way McCaffrey should have written her.

Dragonsong (The Harper Hall Triology)

Two, George R. R. Martin's "Thousand Worlds" series: his '70s space opera stories, all far-flung planets and romantic sense of wonder and doom. Original characters would be fine, since his mostly die.

Dreamsongs: Volume I

ETA: Three thoughts.

Three, Red Cliff. Zhuge Liang/Zhou Yu. Slashy slash slash!

What are your preliminary desires?

Haha, I was just thinking about this yesterday due to a conversation with buymeaclue. At the moment, my Yuletide wishlist consists of Jewel/Duster fic from Michelle West's The Hidden City because the world needs more street gang girl member fics and Hunger Games fic about Katniss/(spoiler character from Catching Fire) for the puuuuuuure addictive crack value. Also because Katniss/(spoiler character) is far more interesting than the two canon pairing possibilities for Katniss.

HA. I saw this post and immediately (immediately!) thought of you.

I'm so predictable!

They made a comm for people like us: catchingfirearc!

Except, I don't really feel like discussing the book and just want to revel in the CRACK that is Katniss/(spoiler character)... and I'm thinking it's not going to happen there given that any relationship discussion will likely focus on Katniss/Peeta & Katniss/Gale.

...and now I will stop hijacking Rachel's comments. orz

Oh, is the next book already out?

No, it comes out in... early September? Soon, but not yet. ARCs have gone out though.
