compelling. You have a story of romance burning

What Kind of Novel Should I Write?
brought to you by Quizilla

I guess that means I am the slash equivalent of a bodice ripper. Well, the nongraphic type of bodice ripper, anyway. Ah, well. I don't like "Literature" anyway ^_~

You Barbara Cartland and early Harlequin novelist, you.

[maderr.livejournal.com]

Heh. Guess it shows I read more than a few Cartlands in the old days.

I was always fond of Laura Kinsale myself, wonder what became of her?

[mailechan.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm not complaining in the least. I've read a few myself.

Oh, and for some reason, it says that I should write mysteries. Go figure.

We read some good bodice rippers in our days. Remember The Mermaid Song. You think you know what's going on with whom where, and then even M was like "Holy shit, wtf?"

Leigh Greenwood's Seven Brides series... Those ones were always fun, and I did finally get around to reading Hen's story. This semester...

Julie Garwood with Honour's Splendor and Saving Grace and Ransom which made Prince John seem absolutely fucking cool... That scary ghost one by Meghan McKinney (sp?), and the one with the pirate, and the Irishman. Stupid Amanda Quick. And that one with the Ottoman prince. I absolutely loved that one...

Ooh! And what's that one we all really, really like? Andrea Kane, with the cornflower blue eyes... [snaps fingers]. The Music Box, that's it. Remember wanting to stab those eyes out with a bloody ice pick? ahh... Those were the days...

Mermaid song....that's the only one I'm not recalling.

Stupid Cornflower Blue eyes. My desire to stab her still exists.

"But my lady, you said it yourself. There's more than one way into a castle." AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA "Your Wolf killed him." "Yes, I know." And they totally meant the dog, not the guy and gods those books were GREAT.

Awww, Hen was so cute. I liked the youngetst brother. He was all "You're named after a flower. Get the fuck out."

Actually, I think Zac's exact words were something to the effect of Lily's being a "damned flowergirl". And yes, Hen was absolutely adorable.

Mermaid Song is where the father of some chick randomly asks one of her teacher/chaperones to marry him, and then you find out like 500 pages later, that oh, look, the good preist got the daughter pregnant and so it was all some weird charade. And then there's the whole mystery behind the mermaid and that amulate thing she has to wear to keep from resisting the call to fall into the water.

Damn... I wish I had Saving Grace on me. There's that whole sequence when she's going on about skinning fish and getting into castles and she's got everyone confused. And the part where she starts throwing shit and making them stand up when she does. "She's standing again..." God that's an awesome book.

[maderr.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah. Now I remember. That book was whack.

Zac was a trip.

Gods, that book is the end all. It seriously deserves to be considered more than a bodice ripper. "But my lady, we've already discussed this. There's only the front (gate? door?) and the back door."

[rykaine.livejournal.com]

"There's more than one way into a castle."

"But M'lady, we've been over this. There's the front door and the back door."

"No, no. I mean there's more than one way to skin a fish."

"Do you skin fish?"

"Must be an English thing..."

I can't quite remember how it goes, but it's one of the funniest goddamned scenese I've ever read. I'll have to e-mail M and have her search it out and post it or something...

[maderr.livejournal.com]

*laughs 'til it hurts*

Oh gods, that book was hee-fucking-sterical.

[thecookietheory.livejournal.com]

o.o I'm enclined to believe. You do write romance. XD Just not pr0n.

GOTHICS! - Deep, dark, mysterious and melodramatic.
You are drawn to write tales of the shadows and
what might lurk there. Could it be Love? Or
Madness? Anne Rice and Brahm Stoker are your
guides.

Quizilla isn't really good for making the accurate quizzes as I've tried.
I suppose there's an element of gothic in what I usually write.
