I have abosultely nothing coherent to say.
Pure, OOC deconstructionist crack.
In all the good ways.
I sincerely hope that it is not considered canon, but instead is considered to be extreme deconstructionist crackfic, which is what it reads like.

Mar. 8th, 2008 06:22 pmJoanna is a geeky, near anti-social computer programmer in Las Angeles. Sometimes, she carries a hammer in her purse. Just in case. In another world, Caris, a guardsman for the mages and grandson of the archmage is looking for his missing grandfather. Caris has studied well for how to be an uptight, duty-bound, overly heroic swordsman. Antryg, the supposedly dead darkmage's pupil, has been locked in a tower for seven years, but manages to escape. Antryg is more than a little eccentric and slightly batty, but probably a good guy underneath. Or a complete nutter.
When Antryg, who Caris believes is responsible for his grandfather's disappearance, crosses the void into our world, Caris follows, and when they return, they've brought Joanna with them. Caris accuses Antryg of having kidnapped Joanna, and promises to help her return home, despite Antryg's insistence that not only is he innocent, but that there's a much bigger problem going on than what Caris is willing to admit to.
I've read a fair bit of this fantasy genre that seems to have been so popular in the 80s and 90s, and, while well written and highly enjoyable, especially the geeky heroine falling for the batty oddball mage instead of the heroic swordsman, there actually isn't a whole lot to make it stand out until the fairly major twist at the end that sets up book two. I'd want to read another book even without the twist, but now I'm glad I have it on hand to read next.

Driving home from work, what I SWEAR was Patches and Squeaker(names of the parents' cats) ran in front of the car. I was already driving slow(the pets here always do that) and hit the breaks, but I SWEAR I connected with something. Turned around and drove back by with headlights on bright but saw nothing(for clarification: would have even if I didn't think it was them) and found nothing, came home and only Patches ran up, and kept looking behind her. Got the flashlight out and spent about 30 minutes out looking for her after she didn't come when I rang the food bell. i came back to get my coat before actually invading neighbors' yards and she finally came up as I was getting ready to go out again.
She's not limping, there's no blood and her only reaction when I felt along her ribs was her typical "not now" standoffishness. She's jumping and climbing on things, but moving more slowly overall and a bit fidgetty. I'm thinking(hoping) she's just scared(and will hopefully NO LONGER BE RUNNING IN FRONT OF CARS!) but definately need to tell the parents when they get home.

Summarize 10 of your fandoms in one sentence, then see who on your friends list can guess each fandom.
Will cross out and add guesser after it's guessed correctly, and try to omit the obscure stuff. And to keep it fair given how many will immediately recognize a lot: no more than 2. Also, I cheated and did 11
Trying to avoid doing all the same ones she did(difficult.) A few are probably overly specific...my original thought for 3 of them was the same thing, then I realized it also applied to a fourth, so I'm not even using it. And they aren't even all full sentences, but whatever.
1.Conartist detectives. Remington Steele crumpeteer
2.To try to undo the harm they caused, two brothers join the military after breaking the greatest law of their world out of love. Fullmetal Alchemist mscongeniality
3.Sexual harassment means true love. Samurai Deeper Kyo calixa
4.Vengeance driven girl with immortal body guard. Blade of the Immortal shadawyn
5. Earth's mythology is based on alien overlords. Stargate SG-1 oxymoronassoc
6.Rambling adaptation of famous asian classic. Saiyuki calixa
7.Lead creates gods. xxxHolic [Bad username or unknown identity: chomiji 8. Out of body swordfighting. Bleach [info]crumpeteer]
9.He's a wizard, the phone book says so.Dresden Files mscongeniality, calixa
10.Everyone lives in the pages of a book. Princess Tutu crumpeteer
11.Fairy tales are real and the characters live in NYC. Fables mscongeniality
And now that they've all been guessed: As I was typing, I realized I was using "real friendship means trying to kill each other at least once" for Blade of the Immortal, Bleach, and Samurai Deeper Kyo, and then I realized it could arguably be applied to Saiyuki, too.
