Felice what's that shite?
Wee lassies in fake monochrome bigging each other up. If I wanted that I'd go to insta.
Sorry, I'm tired and lashing out. I gather they're from GOT?
Hello.
Back to work. Would rather be at home headshotting folk in The Division.

BEES?!May contain extreme insect-in-eye detail. Morning all. I watched the live-action film of Ghost in the Shell last night. It was better on a second watch. Batou is the best.

"feasting on her tears" sounds like something an evil spirit does in a bad fantasy book. Also, in response to the bee reference:  |

I am really busy, the faster I get work out the faster it all comes back. I have made the grave error of being too useful and must go back to being anonymous and make a mess of the few items of work I am asked to complete.
I watched a pretty dark episode of Star Trek last night and played no games.
OTTM: I was nearly missed my train this morning as Sheffield town centre was a cornered off in parts due to a murder or something.

Crank, have you not watched GOT? Nope. Despite the breasts. Generally don't like 'fantasy' stuff. And yes, yes I realise it's more than that blah blah - intrigue, twists etc. Lots of folk who's opinion I'd trust on most things watch it... But I've shit talked it so much I can't ever watch it. Or not admit to it. *Whisper* Same goes for Terry Pratchett. Though I've never shit talked him. |

I'm not sure how we're even friends. |

amipal I may have over-reacted. I feel less uncalm now. I'll be in the Worry Tent if anyone needs me.

Apologies, Shenguin. Apologising to Shenguin? You done gone wrong. He's only angry because he lives off other people's tears and the bees are edging in to his territory. |

There are 8 things against Fantasy novels
1) sub-Tolkien hippyshit writing
2) Gormenghast
3) Terrible book covers
4) Gormenghast
5) Tendency for crap writers to write extraordinarily long sequences of novels
6) Gormenghast
7) The name 'fantasy'. I don't think it does the genre any favours
8) Gormenghast
Apart from those I don't think it is by and large any worse than any other genre.

My pal owns the hardbacks of all the GOT titles and I nicked him the ebooks as he's re-reading before the next one is out - so I have them. Perhaps one day.
But there are books I *want* to read that I haven't yet. My own fault tho.
Same with Pratchett. The volume of work though frightens me - if I ended up liking it.
