Give Me Those Women Who Walk Through Fire

I think I have a sugar headache from all the pretty, pretty boys in anime. Plus, all the testosterone is making me irriatable.

So, if an effort to balance out this, I would love book recs from my flist.

Please rec me those books you love, with heroines who kick ass, who are strong and competent and save the day, who have interesting stories and tell them in interesting ways.

Give me your Sabriels, your Tremianes, your Paige Winterbournes, your kick-ass cops and clever private eyes.

Give me the kind of women who make history.

Sanzo Became A Sadistic Evil Manipulater When?

I have noticed a trope that fanfiction authors use when writing Sanzo from Saiyuki, and it drives me insane because it's usually written by good authors who almost make it work, but I read their fic and it takes me a day to figure out why that fic left a bad taste in my mouth as well as  precisely why it drove me insane.
