Crack pairing, perhaps. Still more logical than some of the canon ones, definitely.
-
I'm actually craving carrot cake, of all things. So yeah.
-
Happy belated b-day Katie!
-
They're fantasy, although I don't know how up your alley they are, but the "Black Company" novels by Glen Cook are among my favorites.
-
Ooo, cake. I didn't actually get cake on my birthday. Thank you all!
-
I don't even remember mine.
-
Yay a week off!
Now what the hell to do with it?
-
I'd be up for that if I had money.
Stupid broke college student... -
Yay! Party time! Break out the drinks!
-
Happy b-day! (is this one a member who will notice before the month is out, I wonder) Hmm... taking bets now!
-
I will probably regret asking, but where did he say that? (damn you, insatiable need to know!)

Hi
in Chatterbox
Hello! Beware the nonsense. It has a way of consuming you.
-
Did you make someone quake in terror while another danced with delight? Pray tell!

Why do I come back? I think I hate myself. Why don't you just throw in Lan to the mix and... I'm shutting up now.
-
Oh! I see now.
-
Incidentally, they probably are more compatible than some canon pairings. But still... Cannot unsee...
-
No idea where I'd do it, because anywhere I could think of would immediately spoil the idea of starting over for me.

Chronicles of the Black Company - Glen Cook
-
Min/Thom... the mind's eye cannot unsee! Curse you Vertex!
-
Happy b-day!

I'm more of a pie person... And what's a monarch baby?
-
Ouch. I am sorry Laura.
I'm done with this semester, so nothing else to do until the 18th of January.

Ishamael is still pretty good. Although all I ever expected out of him was batshit insane.
The other Forsaken, I agree with that sentiment all the way.
Siuan, she got less mature as the books went on, starting from her healing onward, methinks.
Faile, she was kind of awesome at first, but she didn't do much in the way of, well, making sense with half the things she did.
Mat, I actually like more now than I did then.
Perrin, I used to really like, but now he has on/off moments where I alternate between 'yay' and 'I wish I could strangle him'.
Rand, goes something like this. Liked. Disliked. Hated. Loathed. Hated. Disliked. Loathed some more. FREAKING JESUS SANTA RAND? AWESOME!

To be honest, I fell out of love with WoT shortly after finishing Lord of Chaos. Up until recently, other than cleansing the Male Half of the Source, those books had so little of real import (yes, subplots abound, but I lost track of those back in The Dragon Reborn) that I read them more out of my obsession with finishing series that I began. RJ had a marvelous method with words, but I think he lingered on some things too long (and this is coming from a Tolkien fan who acknowledges the man's long-windedness). I do enjoy the book, I bought them all, and I probably will reread them all someday in sequence. But they are no where near my favorites. Too much too long.
But fantasy series seem to have a habit of being too long. If you storyline hits double digit novels, you've taken too long in my opinion.
Ten years!

We're getting old. However, despite me finding many things in the fantasy world that I've liked more than Wot since I originally joined, it is this community that keeps me coming back. Never before and never again will I find such a bunch of zany, insane, yet genuinely friendly if somewhat awkwardly comfortable people in all that dark abyss that is the internet.
