Dear brain, you are weird
I stayed up until 3AM today, reading a rather neat book about tragic Napoleonic soldiers, one of whom has a nervous breakdown and attempts suicide via challenging the other to a duel and shooting to the side. For some reason, this doesn't work, but the commander decides that Soldier 1 is a disgrace and should be killed, and then Soldiers 1&2 run away and go home. In the middle of Russian winter. Lots of sublimated homoerotic desire complete with erotic dreams about impaling, but then the author wussed out and had Soldier 1 die of consumption, leaving Soldier 2 to boink Soldier 1's sister. Drat.
And then for some reason I had a nightmare that I was somewhere in the city centre, very hungry, but whenever I came into any establishment that was serving salad, it was just closing down, and all the other places only sold burgers and chips, which my diet doesn't allow me to eat.
The diet may be influencing my brain a little.
EDIT: Female Parental Unit has her nose buried in Coldfire and loudly declared that Gerald is a bastard after reading the prologue, but since she now got to the bit where Gerald and Damien meet, I think her opinion of my favourite immortal vampire sorcerer may be changing soon >:)

Wouldn't go looking in antiques, since it only came out in Polish last year. I know his earlier stuff got a few translations (French certainly), but since I haven't read these, I can't recommend them.
Oooh, you've read Shards? Glad to hear you liked it :D I think there's something about my Gerald/Damien dynamic that's a little like Sirius and Remus there, though I should hope the Coldfire men are past their tragedy period now :)
no subject
Okay, so no old translations. *sigh* In taht case, chances diminish by quite a lot. But I'll see if there are any translated copies on IRC, or something. Even in French, which I know moderately well. Sadly I speak no Polish.
Yup, loved shards. ♥ As I said, I'm not big on HP and thus don't read lots of fanfic, but Sirius/Remus are definitely my favourite pairing. As for Gerald/Damien, we'll just have to see how their dinamic evolves, won't we? *snicker*

In order to get Gerald to shut up long enough to allow me to write some request fics in other fandoms, I might just have to write them a first-time story. That should allow me to explore that dynamic more closely, so to speak ;)
no subject
Get Gerald to shut up? And you expect to actually accomplish that? Gerald is a heady drug, alas. I've refrained myself from writing him so far, and still I feed people plot bunnies constantly.
Which reminds me...
Well, off to watch what they'll air of the Dance competition! I'm cheering for the Italians and Bulgarians tonight!

I'm counting on my other muses to gang up on him, actually. I've got a full set of Jedi, three versions of Dracula, multiple von Krolocks and an eyeless psychobeauty CIA renegade, and that's just the forefront of my brain.
*eyes bunny* *reaches for a mallet*

In other news, I have added you to my messengers list. I don't usually stalk people, but it never hurts to have a comprehensive contacts list - just in case. I hope you don't mind.
*lol* Don't get me started on my original boys (and occasional girl)! The list is daunting, even for my dear leather-loving muse. And there's lots of hair involved, besides the occasional wings. *has a hair fetish*
Hey, no killing the bunny! Unless you're planning to have a stew (in which case I can donate some more, to make it tastier).
no subject
Sorry, instinct. I started off in anime fandoms. You see a bunny, you get the mallet. Curiously enough, this rarely helps with vampire bunnies of the kind some people are wont to throw my way ;)
no subject
Heh. I understand the urge, trust me. sadly, vampire bunnies being... well, undead, can be pestering and come back for more just when you thought you'd gotten rid of them.
no subject
I swear, I have more bunnies than Australia...
