Hey, I've become a meme!


ETA: Does this read like a fantasy version of Jane Eyre or what?

This narrative is about mythology or history. It starts in a giant country mansion with a governess. The antagonist is an emotionally traumatised misanthrope and the plot involves elements like attack magic and sex somewhere that might be overheard.

If you add magic to Jane Eyre, you really should add dinosaurs, too.

I forgot to mention the Cool Bits that I take for granted so much I - er - forgot them :) Other than dinosaurs, of course.

Enormous quantities of angst. Industrial quantities, in fact. But only well-deserved angst, such as is found in Saiyuki or Weiss Kreuz.

Generally optimistic, but not *completely* happy, endings. I distrust stories where all the ends are tied up perfectly, but a resolution to the angst and a light at the tend of the tunnel is Cool :)

Oh, and mad scientists. Every story needs a mad scientist to go with its dinosaurs.

Subtext goes without saying, right?

I think Jane Eyre could only be improved by dinosaurs.

Thanks! I'll add 'em in the next time I update. :)
