Waaaaah! I'm not the only person with Raistlin/Caramon on my interests list any more! *pouts because she liked being The Only One*

Who are they?Both the naes and the other people who like them?? What a mystery

[enismirdal.livejournal.com]

Raistlin and Caramon are twins out of the Dragonlance series, about which there is a remarkable lack of slash, all things considered, and literally one or two pieces of good slash (Interlude, for example, I can recommend).

Raistlin - a mage. The appeal of Raistlin is a hotly-debated subject. He's bizarre looking (goldens skin, white hair, strange yellowy eyes with hourglass-shaped pupils...), pretty fragile, and has had a constant blood-coughing thing going ever since he passed the tests to become a mage. He is also grumpy, selfish, ungrateful, selfish, irritable, selfish, ruthless...and did I say selfish? Yet he has a whole following of adoring fangirls (including me) who nonethless find him quite irresistible (well, OK, he did become a god eventually). He's usually slashed with his apprentice, a slightly evil elf called Dalamar.

Caramon - Raist's twin brother, and everything Raistlin isn't. Think tall, strong warrior, and affectionate, kind and devoted brother and husband. He comes across as a bit thick at times, but that's unfair - he's just not as bookish as Raistlin.

So yeah, I love seeing them together. And I like Raistlin.

The 'other person' is a H/D shipper who appears to run some kind of Snape-related archive (Rape Snape Archive, or somesuch). Peeked in their LJ, but it was no-one I recognised.

OOOh, most interesting. I have am sure I have seen or rad something about dragon lance at some point, I am sure I have heard of those characters....

But all very cool anyway!

Change it to Caramon/Raistlin. Then you'll be unique again (and yes, I have checked this :-)

Alternatively, get to know the other person...

Woooh, cunningness! *adds Caramon/Raistlin*
Thank you! *hugs*

I think my mom would faint if she knew that there was slash about all of the fantasy novels she reads! I'll bet there's tons of Dragonriders of Pern slash. Mwahahahaha.

[enismirdal.livejournal.com]

Actually, there's less Pern slash than you'd expect. There's some, but Anne McCaffrey's agents are kind of paranoid-schizo about and infringement of her precious copyrights. They'll send out C&D notices to genfic writers and Pern based RP-games, never mind slashers. FF.net won't accept any Anne McCaffrey fics at all.

Although I have to say, the concept of F'lar/F'nor...or anything involving Ruth dying slowly and painfully...appeals immensely (sorry, I have a thing against Ruth. I suspect he may be some kind of draconic Mary-Sue).

Ooh, you like ocelots! :-)

Err, why? (I can see lots and lots of reasons to like ocelots, but they're not a very common thing to have on an interests list)

Do you want a joke about ocelots? It's in bad taste...

[enismirdal.livejournal.com]

I do indeed like ocelots. It's mainly because of a fantasy story I wrote some time ago, about a prince who was given ocelot-related magic, and had some fun. And some not-fun.

Hmm - it didn't sound nearly that corny back when I wrote it, I swear.

Yeah, also they are extremely cool. And cute. And pretty. And if they didn't stink so much, I'd quite like one as a pet.

Sure, I'd love to hear the joke. :D I have an extremely bad taste in jokes, so I'm sure I'll like it. *grins*

[atreic.livejournal.com]

Ok, here goes.

How do you titallate an ocelot?

You oscillate its tit a lot.

Ok, maybe that's one of those jokes that has to be said out loud.

*snork* That's brilliant!
*repeats it to self several times, laughing on each occasion*
