GoodReads is evil

oyceterWhy don't I have an "I am a total dork" icon?
Um. I have been obsessive-compulsively going through my GoodReads shelves and having tons of fun with tags. Because, really, why just stop with genre? So I am putting in all the insane Cool Bits or "things I like in books" or something, like "female-assassin-kink" and "historical-turn-of-century-romance" and "fairy-tale-takes" and "older-women."
I realized possibly I was a little obsessed when I created a tag for "anthropomorphic-death-kink."
It took a lot of thought to come up with that! I figured "death-kink" would freak out everyone; also, it makes it sound like I have a death wish or something, which is so not true. No no, I am talking instead about Gaiman's Death, and Pratchett's Death and Death of Rats, and Gaiman and Pratchett's Death in Good Omens and I feel I should have more not written by Gaiman or Pratchett or both, but I can't think of one off the top of my head.
That, together with the recent unconvering of Sekrit LJ Smith Fans (check comments) and my current list of tags that contain "female-assassin-kink," "thief-kink," "spy kink," "dysfunctional-romance-kink," and "gothic-shoujo," has me laughing hysterically.
I'm sure it will now come to no surprise to any of you that I have a black medieval witchy dress hanging in my closet, along with fishnet armlet things, and one of those black lacy loligoth headcap things.
