It's okay Maxine, I cling on your every word.

I am excited for the win about this. Zaraf, your Rune Factory maps are AMAZING. Thanks for sharing them. Yes, yeeeesss... please make more maps!! I buy lots of strategy guides because I'm addicted to charts and maps >_>; It's from Earthbound, I swear. My friend gave me his Rune Factory guide, but I'...

I didn't see Animal Farm on your picks, Maxine. Good one! lol @ Harry Potter comments, Teclo and Maxine. My friends are all snooty English majors who are too good for Harry Potter, so my inner fangirl gets smashed to pieces by them. I'm horribly addicted to the books, don't get me wrong, but I'm not...

Maxine, Everyone at my work OMGTWILIGHTOMG'd at me until one of them, my gay BFF, loaned me the first book. I read all three within the week and, yeah, they're okay. They have a love triangle, which I don't like, but the author has a unique take on Vampires and I appreciate that. I would only recomm...

Kimiko - Excellent point. Steampunk is making a comeback in America though, especially in the comic industry. My BF and I were discussing this the other day and how cyberpunk is fading. Steampunk gives it a neo-Noir feel, more gritty. Gunpowder killed the castle, for which I'll never forgive it. I t...

Maxine, I feel your pain! BF went with me to Akon the 1st year. It was his birthday present to me. He wanted to get his picture taken with every dude in a dress we saw, but by the second day he was having to pick only the prettiest since there were so many! He had a great time people watching and mo...

Well this exploded on me! Awesome. Let's see... As for classics: I have a terrible lack of proper "classic" reading. I own the original Dracula, Frankenstein and Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde in this combination book...thing. I've skimmed and discussed and analyzed all three and read I'd say 85% of Dr...

I'll check those out. I'm not sure how much I'll like either one. I go back and forth between serious fantasy and fun fantasy. Yeah, good vampire books are hard to find. Especially ones starring good Vampires. I like my Vamps friendly and peaceful, but still a bit dark and mysterious. Hence why I ev...

http://www.rhymes-with-witch.com/rww03292004.shtml So hideously terrible, but so terribly true. Does anyone have any cool con stories? There's only small, pathetic ones in Oklahoma, but I ventured to Akon is '06 and '07. It's in Dallas, which is a costly and lengthy journey for me. I didn't cosplay ...
