Well, I might have finished the Nickelback inspired fic. I'm letting Jay read it for final opinions. I'm uncertain of the ending, but then it's a fluff piece with no real plot so how do you end it? It could go on forever. And it's not really strange that Face got the most screen time, especially since he seems to be bouncing around in my brain lately.
I finished Bloodlines. Liked the book. Not really liking the ending though. Too fluffy for a Fett book. But it was implied that my beloved Clone Troopers may make an appearance *does the fangirl squeal* I cannot wait for that.
I started reading a few new fantasy novels I picked up. Okay, they weren't new new but they were new to me. One was Kushiel's Dart. This was the 3rd time I've tried to read it. And it is officially my last. I cannot get through it. It's just...well boring. Yeah it's going to have freaky sex in it, but it's sooo over detailed. I don't mind flowery prose in moderation, but this couldn't hold my attention.
I tried another fantasy don't remember the name. It's in first person and alternates between two main characters. The OMG element in THAT one was that the characters were gay. Maybe my online readings have jaded me, but slashy men aren't really that surprising to me. And as I read, I kept thinking "I can read better fantasy slash online." Maybe I'm jaded now. Maybe I've read too many good slashy fics to be interested in someone who isn't putting words together in an interesting way.
I have decided that if I want to write a fantasy novel and make a ton of money, I need to write one with freaky sex in it. Think about it. Kushiel's Dart and it's sequels are very popular. This slashy set that I can't remember the name of did very well. Laurell K Hamilton is pulling money in from her books.
Sex is now what sells in the fantasy genre. Sure it sells everywhere but it seems to do especially well in fantasy now. Maybe it's my ticket to the New York Times bestseller list. :D
