Yay! I have rats!

One is a black one with some beige speckling and a white tummy and socks (named him Fitz) and one is white with a black hood and a little black stripe down his back (Fool-rat).

Fitz is bigger and braver and more excitable and so far Fool-rat seems quieter and cleaner.

And Fool-rat almost has a Fool's motley ^_^.

Ok, I think you just turned me off to the entire series right there ;). I've actually never read Honor Harrington, but after hearing one of my friends rave about it so much, I figured I would probably hate it -- said friend (different one than the one who recced Vorkosigian) like Lackey and McCaffrey and Jordan etc.

Eee, vid!!! What song? I'm definitely hunkering down for a reread of Tawny Man soon. Guh, I really desperately want to read some sort of fanfic that takes place in the future, but I also desperately don't want to... it's like reading Sandman fanfic. I like the writing and the voice of the author too much already, and anyone else who does it just sounds wrong to me. So really, the only solution is some Misery-style thing to get Robin Hobb to do it ;).

Yup, it's bad. Honor Harrington is a total and complete Mary Sue. Check out the LJ community "canonsues" and I think there is an entry for her in there as well. It goes into much greater detail than what I can remember from what I tried to read.

I did a vid in my head to Queen's "Too Much Love Will Kill You". *g*

I want fanfic and I don't. Hobb's voice is so distinctive that I don't want to entangle it with another voice - even my own. But...we need more Fitz and the Fool! *checks around for deserted cabin and other necessary Misery-like implements* I'm right behind ya!
