Comment on this post. I will choose seven interests from your profile and you will explain what they mean and why you are interested in them. Post this along with your answers in your own journal so others can play along.

[livejournal.com profile] aj  gave me:

abhorsen:

The rank of Sabriel, the awesome heroine of Garth Nix's Sabriel. Imagine a quick witted school girl killing zombies and crossing back and forth between a WWI-era world and the classic fantasy-land. Awesome action, a magic system that makes sense, and a sweet, nicely underplayed romance.

canon underwear meta:

Once upon a time, chomiji posted an announcement on her livejournal that she had posted fic. We commented, and then their was comments about the underwear of the Sanzo-ikkou (Minukura approved, thus the 'canon'). That conversation, mutated, spawned, and almost reached 1,000 comments, which, considering it was four people chatting, was pretty damn impressive.

fictional women you hate:

You know those girls you hate because they hate tits and emotions and get in the way of the slash? Fuck you, she's awesome.

kimi wa petto:

The Japanese title of the manga 'Tramps Like Us' which is about when a japanese journalist has a very bad day (her fiance left her for his pregnant girlfriend, she punched on of her superiors after he came onto her drunkenly at a party, and she got demoted) and finds, on her way home, a homeless dancer. After he oh so cutely pleads with her, she lets him stay at her apartment if he'll be her pet.

The heroine, Sumire, is me. I am not even kidding a little bit. Thoughout the manga I was constantly stopping and going, 'oh my god, I do/think/feel that too!'

I actually named my new computer after her.

nymphadora tonks deserved better

This one is kinda self-explanatory. Tonks was badass. She deserved better than to have Kishimoto possess JK and write the Lupin/Tonks romance, which I shipped hardcore until it actually happened. (Which is why, boys and girls, that you choose carefully when shipping canon).

the fall of ile-rien


The series of books by Martha Wells that starts with The Wizard Hunters. It contains Tremaine, who is, in a world of warriors and mages, a half-suicidal playwright raised by her criminal mastermind of a father, and who has everyone going in circles around her. The action takes place in two different worlds - one a WWII mix of France and England and the other a tropical and less technologically advanced society that is the only functional matriarchy I have ever read.

veronica/weevil

My fanon pairing for Veronica Mars. Veronica is the nancy-drewing daughter of the ex-sheriff and Weevil is the leader of a motorcycle gang. It illustrate how perfect they are for each other, let me simply tell you that Veronica is driving to search for the truth the way people lost in the desert search for water. Of everyone in Veronica's life, Weevil is the only person who has never gotten pissed at her for it. Also, they have a long history of saving each other.
