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?

Mmm, Chess.


Oh, man, I think it would be kind of excellent to have Florence and Svetlana run off together at the end.

(I am waiting very impatiently for my local PBS station to show the concert version on Great Performances.)

After watching Idina Menzel and Kerry Ellis, I can totally buy that.

(I loved the Great Performances showing so much that I went out and bought the 2 CD version of it the next day and am, in fact, listening to it right now.)

Ooh, I didn't know it was on CD yet -- thanks! *trundles off to acquire it*
