Figured it out!

Ha, I figured it out! I figured out what my problem with Hendee's dhampir series is - well, besides their uber-cool Mary-Sue Wynn, that is: Everybody is permanently pissed, angry, enraged, annoyed, you name it. They don't talk, they growl, snarl, snap and other synonyms. I can't see Magiere and Leesil becoming a couple without stabbing each other in the eye with a fork within one year. It's incredibly tiresome to work on a book where bleakness is the characters' perpetual state of mind. Ick!

On a much happier note - a Sports Night fic rec that made me giggle!
SLASH, Dan/Casey --> "Flora and Fauna and Bob" by Julian Lee. Casey finds out that Dan is bisexual. He has no problem with that. But he wants Dan to grow out his hair XD Words: ~5.000.

Excerpt:

Casey looked up from the screen as Dan ended a phone conversation with a woman whose name might possibly have something to do with the plant kingdom. "So...Daisy?" Casey asked.
"Poppy."
"I knew it was a flower."
"You were close."
"I knew it was flora of some variety."
"You were right there at the edge of the prairie, my friend."

I don't think I'll be checking out that series anytime soon. I just don't have the patience to deal with angry characters.

I just don't get the characters. I mean, I can understand when you feel annoyed from time to time - but all the time? Whatever happens, Magiera explodes. She enters the land of the elves without understanding their culture and customs but she expects everybody to accomodate to her. It's really annoying.
