All right, the payback meme

[hobgoblinn]

Yeah, you know the drill. I did this meme several months ago, but recently new friends sucked me in while I was diligently not working on my novel.

Reply to this entry and I will...

1. Tell you why I friended you (if I can remember, that is).
2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a color, a photo, etc.
3. Tell you something I like about you.
4.Tell you a memory I have of you.
5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
6. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
7. In return, you must post this in your LJ. (recent meme-ists are exempt)

If you have my response from a previous version of this, it might be entertaining to see if my recollections have changed. Old Age does that to one, or so I am told.

Vampires, huh? Have you read Barbara Hambly's "Those Who Hunt the Night?" and its sequel "Traveling with the Dead"? All her stuff is pretty amazing-- I've been a fan since stumbling across "Time of the Dark" back in high school. She's got some historical mysteries set in 1840's New Orleans that are amazing, for the social interactions alone, quite aside from interesting puzzles and historical detail.

I came to LJ because of Buffy fanfic writers, but it wasn't the vamps that drew me to the show-- it was the humor, quirky characters, family building, and Giles. Not nec. in that order. Up through Season 5 is really something. After that-- it has its moments. Most of them bad. But there's some great fanfic out there to make up for it.

I actually haven't read the Barbara Hambly vampire books, but I do have a rather humourous story involving a few of her Star Wars novels that I'm told do NOT live up to her other works and are really quite horrid. Granted, I haven't read those either, but I had no problem tormenting a friend with them. ;) Have you read any of the Michael Romkey books?

No, I'll have to look for those. BH has a couple of Star Trek books that were not at all bad. But her original stuff is better.

Getting paid to write fanfic-- must be nice.

You really should check her vamp books out, at least, though.
