Vote for the pretty!

I haven’t posted about this popularity contest, but I’m drumming up some support now for Elisa Rolle’s fun cover contest because at the moment there’s two covers in the lead (Clippings, and the Janitor) which I really don’t like.  I don’t want you to necessarily vote for Frost Fair (although I do think it’s a beautiful cover by Alex Beecroft) but if Clippings wins I’ll be rather surprised. It’s not at all beautiful.  There are some fabulous covers there, though.  I particularly like Hemovore and House of Swallows but my ultimate vote went to FLIGHT which is just beautiful.  Each to his own, though, eh?

I actually think that many publishers are taking on board the fact that we don’t all want a poser or a two naked men cover – there’s some real diversity in this little group – and it’s good that people are stopping equating gay fiction = sex.

I admit to chortling very hard during a game of Metal Gear Solid when my handler said “Quick, Snake, he’s about to be dragged off by the PMCs!”

Now that could be very painful, I’d say. Yes – I’m 12.

Many people have snow—and they are wantonly waving it at me on Livejournal. It’s really not fair.  Yes,  i know I hate the cold, but if I’m going to be cold, I’d like it to be fore a good reason, like SNOW.

I love Anton duBeck. That is all. Bath time now and The Catch Trap which the very kind Jessewave sent me all the way from Canadia. :)
