My favourite tv/books/etc include:
- massive curry monsters
- dragons with explosive digestion
- an episode in with everyone turns into Looney Tunes cartoons
- England being ruled by mermaids
- a song about the wonder that is SUITS
- Lois and Clark getting married by an angel and then going back in time to break a soulmates-consummation-curse
- Groundhog Day
- people being brought back to life by a piemaker
- people being welcomed into their death by grim reapers who hang out at a waffle restaurant
- The Muppet Show
- a fashion consultant turned bounty hunter
- a planet filled with nothing but Arnold Rimmer, over and over again
- Death's grand-daughter fighting evil with half of Time's son and a formerly-evil chick who suicides in a vat of chocolate
- fanfic all-Penguin AUs


And this? Twangel destiny-sex that destroys the world?

This is too cracky for me.


Here endeth the lesson.

HaHa!

*requests copy of your reading list* cuz, whoa.

Let's see...

I just mentioned:
Dead Like Me, Discworld, Farscape, Groundhog Day, How I Met Your Mother, In Great Waters, Lois & Clark, The Muppet Show, Pushing Daisies, Red Dwarf, Stephanie Plum, and Buffyverse fandom.

:D

I enjoy the crazy.

So out of those, which, specifically, involve the curry monster (that sounds Pratchettian to me...), the dragon, and England ruled by mermaids?

Out of those, the one I hadn't even heard of In Great Waters - book, movie, or TV show?

[deird1]

The curry monster is from Red Dwarf (and is defeated by a can of lager - because everyone knows that lager kills a good vindaloo).

The dragons are from Discworld - and explode when they hiccup.

In Great Waters is the mermaidy one. It's a book by Kit Whitfield - whose previous book, Bareback, featured a world made up almost-entirely of werewolves, where the non-wolves were the odd ones.

Ooh. I feel like I've heard of Kit Whitfield - she writes very literary-type stuff with SF tropes, yes? With a rec from you, I might have to finally check her out. 'Cuz both of those premises sound like they could be lots of fun.

She's quite good - but, word of warning, she doesn't go in for happy endings. Or happy middles, for that matter...
