Suspended in Gaffa

I'm a bit hesitant to dive back into the Song of Ice and Fire while it is a very good fantasy series I find the unrelenting grimness hard to push through. Its the same problem I had with BSG, one of the biggest reasons why I couldn't get into that show.

I like my darkness mixed in with whimsy, hope and a good helping of crack (its really not a wonder why I got into Life, huh?) ; too much of the dark without any kind of relief makes me twitch. On the other hand, I'm curious about the later books.

Remember the Life fic I'm working on? The Ted-centric one? Yeah, still working on it. Why the heck are Ted and Olivia not cooperating? I want to finish this fic but neither character are cooperating. First, it was Olivia, now its Ted who's being stubborn. *pouts*

Amanda, on the other hand is cooperating rather well. A little too well.

Hey, you know what's also hard to write? A crazy but getting better sociopath protagonist. Yeah, why do I do this to myself?

Name a character and I'll tell you three (or more) facts about them from my own personal pseudo-canon.</i x-posted: dreamwidth
