Drat you for finding out about Cool Stuff first and never mentioning it. ;) I'd forgotten why I liked Disney's Atlantis so much--sure, weakish plot and all, but EDWARDIAN ERA. WITH EDWARDIAN SUBMARINES AND STUFF. Seriously, that stuff was way cooler than Atlantis. (Okay, and the art was pretty.) ...Er, what were we talking about? Oh, yeah. Steampunk is nifty. *nods* Must hunt some down. Or write some. Or just wear my military jacket and my cravatish thing cos my creativity is sort of spent.
There is Anne Rice at my library (of course), but it is all very nasty bent and battered paperback that has me cringing just looking at the spines, and I am afraid of the vampire sex, so, yeah. *scuttle* Libraries discourage the use of white-out on their books. And, um. I think I read Gaiman last autumn--yeah, I got Coraline on my first bicycle trip to the library, liked it, and got Stardust the next(?) time 'round, which I liked tremendously, and never mentioned because...I don't know. I am bad at reviewing things, and the whole day was so perfect, so far as I remember, that I couldn't push it into words. I had a good, new book, and chocolate, and my bed was actually made, and it was lovely and autumnal out my window, and that sort of thing is magical. Anansi Boys is quite good, too, and there my library's stash ends. I'm interested in Sandman rather a lot, but don't see any likelihood of reading it until I move to a larger city with better libraries. ...And I just remembered that Gaiman was on one of the last programmes I saw on the History Channel before we moved, about the history of the comic book, which was very nifty, and he had an awesome accent.
So you're basically making a mix for a fanfic you still haven't finished? ^-^ Well, no, not really, I suppose. But still. And, um...I feel like I have at least one song that would be perfect, and I can't for the life of me think what song it might be. Um, you have all the Emiliana Torrini songs I do; with a name like "Fisherman's Woman," one of those would probably work. I'll let you know if I think of anything.
Shush, you. :D I do intend to finish it, someday, when I've got my own computer and can sort it out, because it was starting to lag and retell Tolkien, which was dull, but I'm not forseeing any quick fixes.
I'm going to give Fisherman's Woman another listen, because it all sounds exactly right, but I haven't zeroed in on any particularly fitting lyrics just yet.
