    But there are so many awesome novels! How can you choose just one?

    Naked November.

    I pitch my vote for Novel November.

    Notoriously naked ninja novelisation November?
  • edited November 2010
    I'm really not sure what we were doing...
  • edited November 2010
    There. It's what I just finished reading. There really need to be more awesome female sci-fi authors.
  • edited November 2010
    Link to the book! I'm always looking for some decent sci-fi.

    Mainly I just read comedy and generic crappy sci-fi.

    It's part of a trilogy by Octavia Butler sold as Lilith's Brood. In this one, an alien race of gene traders, who reproduce with three sexes, come to earth and save some humans after an apocolyptic event, hoping to use their genes. They study them aboard their ship, training them to return to earth, and eventually interbreed. I ripped through the first book, Dawn. Start there.

    I've read two others by her: Parable of the Sower, and Clay's Ark. Parable is a warning for the direction the USA was going in a decade or two ago. When things turn dangerous in California, a girl (who feels the pain of others) heads north hoping to find a place to live in peace and grow her religion. Clay's Ark has an alien STD, makes people want to have more sex and spread the disease, drives them crazy. They give birth to aliens.

    Dulcimer December!

    Let's see...
    Detective December? Maybe a little bland.
    Doppleganger December? Have we done something like that before?
    Disguise December?
    Something like having someone post an original avatar and have people make altered versions of it?

    Fuck you, X'o'Lore! Why did you mention Disguise December? Now I can't get this out of my head:

  • edited December 2010
    Yeah, I can live with this.
  • edited December 2010
    This is pretty fun, actually.
  • edited December 2010
    Now none of you will see my horrid visage!

    So. January.

    Oprah's launching her OWN network on January 1st.
  • edited December 2010
    Oh god, not Oprah.... How about Jam-uary?
  • edited December 2010
    Pornuary.

    We still need something here. The novelty of the disguise thing has worn off. I'm dry for ideas here, but if nothing comes up I may just do Apathetic January and not have an avatar.

    Colbertuary - Where everyone is Stephen Colbert!

    (And yes, I realize my laziness in this suggestion.)

    I'm "Shakeycat".

    Now you all find a picture of your username.
  • edited January 2011
    Technically this avatar isn't for Azrodal... Just pretend my username is Lunair till the end of the month. (YAY LAZYNESS!!!)
  • edited January 2011
    Okay, this one I can get behind.
  • edited January 2011
    My name is just gibberish I made up. A Google search for Serephel turns up pretty much just me, and an image search pulls up my photobucket account, where I store photos I've posted on here.

    So... I guess my avatar can be just about anything I want then. I'll have to think about this.

    Looks like "Seraph" like an angelic being of some kind.

    I'm not sure this theme really leaves me much to work with.
