tag meme

a_white_rain asked me to explain some of my tags :

el jay: posts about Live Journal policies, and my disaproval or approval thereof. It's a recent tag so I think I have old tags from back in striketrhough which I never tagged.

ran's board: aka the Westeros board for A Song of Ice and Fire (Ran's because that the username of the admin guy). This is the oldest place on the internet I still hand out at. I tag posts when I talk about stuff happening, IRL meetings with people from there, and general whining about people being wankers there. It's always very lively with lots of trolls, political flaming and sometimes even interesting discussions. Several of my friends are from there.

tarot: I've always been fascinated by tarots, and Tim Powers and Pierce Anthony made sure it became worse. Sometimes I like to make tarots for specific fandoms, I've done a Buffy one (with actual images), a Harry Potter one and a ASOIAF one (just text). Sometimes I just ramble on. CLAMP cheated by already giving us a tarot for X which is terribly unfair although terribly gorgeous, so at some point I planned doing tarot themes fanfics but I only ever finished one.

gender and sexism: when I get all meta and intellectual about stuff related to, youll never guess, gender and sexism. Mostly in fandom.

judaism: When I talk about being Jewish. Mostly not in fandom.

otw: Organisation for Transformative Works, a pro fanfic organisation. I think it's a pretty cool idea. Don't understand the naysayers.

queer: When I talk about stuff related to LGBT subjects. I think I have only one post under that tag about an interview of Hal Duncan.

Oh, I am so, so with you on the Tim Powers + tarot thing. Last Call is one of my favorite books in the history of ever.

Yeah, it's my favourite of his! and an awesome book overall!

I wouldn't quite say Last Call is my favourite Powers (I prefer The Anubis Gates and Declare) but it is a brilliant book and the mythology surrounding the Assumption card game was fascinating.

I love those two too, but Last Call won me over with the Tarot theme :) just great urban fantasy. I wish there were more books like that...

I need to read Powers.

But I need to finish the other dozen books in my collection (including Amber ;-) ) first.
