So. Since there aren't any particularly interesting secrets, let's have some sort of discussion. What fandoms (books/movies/video games) do you recommend for people to check out?

[radio-nurse.livejournal.com]

Nabari no Ou (the manga, not the anime) is something I will always recommend. And the author's new work, Shounen Note, is great too, whenever it gets scanlated.

[no-one-specific.livejournal.com]

Nabari no Ou T^T **goes in a corner and cries** I got to about chapter 50 and I couldn't go on. I'd started crying at around chapter 15, and oooh, it's just so sad!

What's Shounen Note about?

[zyxwvutsrq321.livejournal.com]

Um hmm well my favorite books/movies/things at the moment are...

-Tron, and Tron: Legacy, because I love Jeff Bridges and watched the original when I was quite young and I'm apparently a huge geek

-All Shakespeare plays, pointedly Hamlet and uh Julius Caesar and Measure For Measure because I just read those last two and Hamlet is my favorite play ever

-the Mortal Engines quartet, by Phillip Reeve! I'm something like halfway through the first book and it's delightful. I'm not sure I like everything about it-- kinda clunky writing, imo-- but my golly gosh, it's a book about giant moving cities that eat each other! How is that not lovely?

-Diana Wynne Jones in general. Her work doesn't suit everyone's tastes, but I've liked it since I was quite small. Sprawling fantasies, mostly, with quiet wit and lively characters.

-Tamora Pierce in general. Some of her storytelling decisions are not my favorite! Amazing female characters, though, and beautiful worldbuilding, and magic, and adventures. I just... I just love her, man. <3

and I know this is wishful thinking but.

I wish there was fandom for classic lit, like, the Illiad. I would write so much fanfic for the Illiad, and Beowulf, and La Commedia. Just think of the shipping opportunities!

[no-one-specific.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'll check into these!

I would write so much fanfic for the Illiad, and Beowulf, and La Commedia

If you write it, I would totes read it.

[jaquenerd.livejournal.com]

OMFG MORTAL ENGINES!!!!!!
Hmm yeah so those books are pretty much the most amazing underrated works of fiction ever. Not to spoil, but yeah while the writing is a bit clunky and the third book gets a little slow,all of them are setting up for one of the greatest conclusions ever and awes. So much love for those books. Also Hester is amazing throughout.

Tamora Pierce is kind of hit or miss with me but goddamn do I love Mel.

[fox-bourne.livejournal.com]

The Dwarves series by Markus Heitz.

[nota-lone.livejournal.com]

Good Omens has cropped up here a couple times, but I'm gonna put that out here anyway.

And if you like manga, "Not Love but Delicious Foods Make Me So Happy" is fun for foodies. :D

[viserys.livejournal.com]

How about TV shows? There's quite a few being released this month that are awesome.

Camelot (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eb-EBdwRtk) is another adaptation of the King Arthur story, but they're doing quite a few new/original things with it. It's a much darker take on the story, I think, and so far there's a lot of focus on character-driven drama. (A+) There's certainly a fair share of action and sex, though -- it's by Starz, after all, haha. I think it's a show that appeals to a lot of different tastes, as a result. Really, though, it's worth watching just for the cast. Eva Green plays a HBIC Morgan and Joseph Fiennes plays a gloriously creepy Merlin. I pretty much adore it.

And if you're a Merlin fan, I beg you to give it a chance. :/ I'm tired of seeing Merlin fans getting all butthurt because the show isn't... exactly like Merlin. It's possible to like both shows, guys.

The Borgias (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58hmD2sGV7Q) is a series covering the lives of the famous Borgia family, focusing mainly on Cesare Borgia. Definitely recommended if you're an Assassin's Creed fan, as the atmosphere in the show is very similar. Also recommended if you're a fan of The Tudors. I think people might get turned off from this show because it's "slow" or "boring" -- so far there's a lot of politics and character drama, and not a lot of action. Trust me -- that'll change!

Game of Thrones (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PxLidxnAE8) is... I can't even describe this series without freaking out in excitement. Guys, if you watch any of the shows I'm recommending, watch this one. You don't need to have read the books beforehand, although I suggest that too. But seriously, this show is going to be amazing. So amazing. Have another trailer. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpJYNVhGf1s)

[no-one-specific.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I'll look into those. /adds to to-do list

I watched the trailer for The Borgias, and the I was won over by the Within Temptation music. It won me over. I'll have to watch.

[darlas-mom.livejournal.com]

Is "Camelot" improving? I only tried the first two episodes. The writing/acting/directing is all okay, but it kind of skeeves me out a little, the way it portrays women. (Morgan calls Igraine out on standing idly by while Uther was an asshole, and Igraine floats out "A queen doesn't question her king!" Um. She's a perpetual victim. WTF?)

I really want to love it, because I want to love every King Arthur re-imagining, but...it just made my skin crawl. :-(

[(Anonymous)]

Is there a fandom for the Borgias yet? I've really been enjoying the show so far. (Camelot... not quite so much.)

[chocobodork.livejournal.com]

I am so excited for Game of Thrones. so exciiiiiiited

I don't know how I'm going to function between the time when it airs Sunday night and when I get to see it on Thursday. I'm just going to become even more of a zombie.

[childings.livejournal.com]

I'm playing Radiant Historia on the DS right now and I really enjoy it. That and Rune Factory 3 (I just finished Frontier on the Wii and I'm going to play 2 next -- I love this franchise)

[omfgerbear.livejournal.com]

OMG thank you SO much for affiliating with us! I mean pkmnsecret! We got a sudden influx of secrets today. Thanks so much~♥

[(Anonymous)]

Okay, I'm bored with this batch, so here's something that occurred to me today. I'm really dreading the influx of "I can't believe it's over" secrets that are inevitably coming when the final HP movie is released in July. That's gonna be a lot of scrolling.

Also, it's not like HP fandom is going to come to a screeching fucking halt because we can't watch Emma Watson try to act anymore.

[(Anonymous)]

We can watch her try to be Ivy League material, though.

[no-one-specific.livejournal.com]

You know what would be a most awesome way to troll fs? To make like, 10 different "I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S OVER" secrets every week. And everyone else will make at least one, and then it will basically all be Harry Potter...

Yeah, I don't know. I'm not looking forward to the boringness, unless someone could put an interesting spin on it...

[falconwhitaker.livejournal.com]

Christ, is today Fucking Unreadable Secret Day or something? e-e

[bulmafox.livejournal.com]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who had to squint my eyes.

red text? ???????

[errorsign.livejournal.com]

I get that red text is frustrating to read, but is it only banned from .jpegs? Do .pngs not count, and are thus ok to use red text on? Does red text crash someone's browser/server? Do you just not want text for a picture with someone to look like it was written in blood?

And then why can we read them? If red text really is banned, why isn't it in the fail-bar?

Re: red text? ???????

[(Anonymous)]

what gave you the impression they're banned? i think tech is just frustrated with the shitty barely readable jpgs

[131-di.livejournal.com]

booooriiiiing
