Why yes I did get up at seven to do my laundry, because frankly I feel having clothes to wear would probably be a good thing. (I actually do have clothes; it's just that I'm out of jeans and the only bra I have left is bright green and I have this feeling it will be Seen under the only shirt I have that would go with the skirts that I haven't worn yet.)

This is why I'm up. That and I'm still reading about the friggin' Persian wars, which are actually fascinating -- as far as I have a specialization in anything, my specialization is in military history -- but I'd rather be working on Dust. Or the crackfic Lass and I have been writing in comments all over the place. (Narnia/Stardust! Narnia/Merlin! Peter/Arthur, because you can never have too many arrogant, deadly, blond royals in one place.)

I realize it is now eight, but I did in fact get up at seven. And now I should see what I can put together out of my remaining clean clothes and go to breakfast. *sigh* Because I'm not free till 12:15.

ZOMG it is probably a blessing in disguise that we don't have that many fandoms in common or otherwise i would NEVER LEAVE LJ. our narnia/stardust is totally eating my brain. NOT THAT THERE'S MUCH OF MY BRAIN LEFT, thanks to...

NOT HAVING ENOUGH TIME FOR NARNIA: I R DOING IT RONG

THE GOOD THING ABOUT CROSSOVERS IS THAT THE NARNIA IS STILL THERE.

*cough* I have seen Ep. 5! And am highly amused, for reasons that are completely unrelated except to Dust.

HOMG KNIGHTS OF SPAMALOT. THEIR MOTHER WAS A HAMSTER AND THEIR FATHER SMELLED OF ELDERBERRIES. (tell me you've watched monty python and the holy grail.) this is what those french knights were talking about, you know.

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

i have never seen monty python, no.

[lassiterfics.livejournal.com]

i know of it; i have just never seen it. well. i saw about the first five minutes in my ap gov class last year.

OOOOOH, Persian wars. LOTSA GOOD MILITARY STUFF. Though, frankly, I prefer Alexander the Great's army. PHALANX FTW. XD

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

Dude, the Persians are totally being reflected in the Calormenes in Dust. Too bad for the Narnians! (Or at least, the Persians' tactics of ripping out tongues and generally being nasty.)

[katakokk.livejournal.com]

OUCH. Well, I can totally see how Persians = Calormenes. TURBANS FTW! XD

So where do you draw Narnian fighting style from? That's not a really good question to ask since they have so many types of soldiers, but you know I meant like the Pevensies, etc.

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

I am, uh, trying to avoid getting beaten with sticks for making them Arabs. So! Persians instead.

*snorts* Do you mean individual fighting, or tactics/strategy as a whole?

[katakokk.livejournal.com]

Ehe, they seem very Arabic to me anyways, so whatever.

Uhhhh, both?

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

As far as it goes for individual fighting, I more or less make stuff up from what I've read and seen onscreen; I don't have any sword-fighting experience. For tactics and strategy, I have an interest in military history, so I do a lot of reading in that area, both fiction and nonfiction. (As I've mentioned elsewhere, my senior project novel was military sci-fi, so all I read for eight months was military history and military memoirs.) And just having common sense generally helps too. *grin*

[katakokk.livejournal.com]

Well, makes sense. :D

[zempasuchil.livejournal.com]

Peter/Arthur? OH MAN. way more royalty = way more hot. So maybe this is totally OT but have you read The Dark is Rising? Because you just made me think of Peter/Bran and how incredibly amazing that would be. oh man the fic bunnies.

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

Also see here (http://lassiterfics.livejournal.com/69632.html?thread=807936#t807936)! Because we are just that fabulous.

I have indeed! Although not in ages and ages, and man, I have to read it again. I'll have to find my copies of the books when I go home! Though I only, uh, have two of them.

That is a friggin' gorgeous<./i> icon.

sfdkjdsfh "You think everything is bad for national security" - I DIED. they are the best bickering brothers ever.

They are kind of my favorite books ever... I've been reading them since sixth grade. I only own two but that's because my library reliably has most of them available whenever I want to check them out. I have to say The Grey King and Silver on the Tree are my favorites, but Greenwich is also hauntingly gorgeous.

yes, I thought so too; I only wish I had made it! credit goes to frenchsweetie.

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

and that is Lass's line! But true, so true.

I own -- Greenwich and The Grey King, if I remember correctly.

[zempasuchil.livejournal.com]

You two have really compatible writing styles. I'm super impressed by the products of your combined powers. Do you team-write officially or just drabble in sequence at each other?

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

We are actually totally in progress on our first official team-write. But mostly we just drabble at each other. *grin* She's betaed a couple of my fics too.

[zempasuchil.livejournal.com]

oh man! :D I can't wait to read it!
