Okay, most of my friends know I'll read pretty much anything and find something good about it. Well my friend Shawna gave me a book to read called Dreaming of the Eagle. The only summary she gave me was, "The main character's little brother is gay."
...
So I read it. (I know, total fangirl.) sweatdrop
She gave me the book around early December. I returned it last week.
I wanted to cry!
So I started reading, and the reason I was reading this book (Ban) was 11.
I read some pretty bad stuff, but that crossed a few fundamental lines.
So I find out the main character is a Lesbian, that's good for her, but some super-uber-hot-shipwrecked-warrior-prince has a crush on her. So she quickly becomes straight for alternating chapters.
THAT got confusing.
About half-way through, I meet my favorite character EVER, Iccius.
Chapter 13 we meet him and Ban saves him from his owner.
Chapter 14 he and Ban are captured and enslaved.
Chapter 15 he's castrated, raped, Ban, now 16ish, declares his love to Iccius, and Iccius is killed.
eek

I think I cried for over an hour, that's how amazing this character was to me.
This was all a couple hundred pages from the end.
I was pissed.
So I kept reading, thinking somehow, somewhere, Iccius is still alive and will come back. (Damn Stephen King, he started this hope when he brought back my favorite after killing him, killing him again, bringing him back AGAIN, and then killing him. Now I never trust character death.)
I began to relize that all of my obseenly favorite non-main characters die, without fail.
So writers are truly cruel.
I told the rant to my friend and she said, "Well too bad, they're dead."
So I countered with, "NO! They are NOT! They all live on in The Happy Place. Where all my boys go after dying and make hot sexy love to eachother ALL DAY!"
She busted up and told me to write stories of the Happy Place. I also think little characters they use to make a point go there too. Like the fifteen year old in the military in one of the other books I'm reading who's knocked out after being forced onto the battlefield but is spared by the main character, he's never even named.
So I name him Ferus!
He fell into an alternate reality (Happy Place) when he hit the blood soaked battlefield and lived happily ever after with many sexy boyfriends/girlfriends.
The End?
Don't you hate it when someone ends a story with "The End?"?
I've found a few that end like that but never even got a sequel!
scream ARGH!
