Top 5's
Okay. Thanks, to my cous ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
moonwolf1988 for these
Top five books you want to write some day.
1. Top one is finish, or even get a bit further with my childrens' fantasy about a wizard. It' totally self indulgent. The main character's name is even my middle name. I really enjoy writing for the character though. He's always happy. This means I can throw whatever I want at him and it never gets him down.
2. Something for Nano 2010. I managed this the last couple of years. This time I need to actually raise the bar a little. I have no idea what it will be about even.
3. The Hugo Award winner. No idea what this would be either. I just want one of those Hugos to stick on my mantelpiece, next to my lightsaber. Having read a number of Hugo nominees I'm not quite sure what the literature fans actually like.
4. A steampunk novel. I love the steampunk feel. But the story ideas that appeal never want to happen in a steampunk setting. I feel the genre has never been properly explored. Clockwork prosthetics and airships alone aren't enough to justify it. You need a story that could only possibly happen in a neo-Victorian setting.
5. A high-tech conspiracy thriller that actually makes sense.
When I write I do so mainly for my own amusement. I have absolutely no desire to write Literature with a capital 'L'. Keep em simple.
Top five couples in books, tv series, and films.
Princess Bride: Miracle Max and Valerie. Forget Westley and Buttercup. These two have a proper healthy relationship. Non of that schmaltz stuff. They've been finoishing each others' sentences for years.
Futurama: Fry and Leela. Fry is a bit of a slob, and a complete idiot most of the time and Leela is kinda out of his league. Really though he's kind of sweet.
Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Tara and Willow. Yes, I am going to link to Once More With Feeling! Part of this is that I've always had a crush on Alyson Hannigan, and I absolutely love Amber Benson for reasons I will go into at length if pushed, but mainly because she's absolutely lovely to the fans. Also I like that it never really felt like a gratuitous lesbian relationship. Mainly it's because they're such a cute couple.
Julian Comstock: A story of 22nd Century America: Adam Hazzard and Calyxa Blake. Adam - the narrator - is hopelessly naive. Calyxa is a Spitfire. It's easy to see why Adam falls for Calyxa. Why she agrees to marry him is a little less obvious. Calyxa explains at the end. In French (untranslated). Adam doesn't speak French so assumes it's something sardonic. It really isn't.
Holmes and Watson. (pic hijacked fromspacefall ) What do you mean it's not canon!
Yeah. I'm a hopeless romantic
