Picked up a copy of [livejournal.com profile] ratmmjess's IMPOSSIBLE TERRITORIES, his book of annotations for Alan Moore's LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN THE BLACK DOSSIER. And both [livejournal.com profile] wyldemusick and I are mentioned in the Foreword.

Along with umpteen other contributors, of course, but I say it counts!

Letter Rip

1. Comment on this post.
2. I will give you a letter.
3. Think of 5 fictional characters whose name starts with that letter and post their names and your comments on these characters in your LJ.
[livejournal.com profile] wyldemusick  gave me "N."

1. Norville "Shaggy" Rogers:  Greatest of the slackers, and a gourmand of incredible proportions (I only wish I could eat the sandwiches he came up with).  Of course, speculation runs rife on exactly what was in those "Scooby Snacks".

2. Neville Longbottom.  In some ways, the real hero of the Potter books.  Not only does he (technically) win the House Cup in the first book, but while Harry mopes around in hiding, Neville survives torture and gets to be completely badass.  A much better role model, no?

3. Nick Fury:  Still a badass, after all these years. :)

4. Natalia "Natasha" Romanova, better known as the Black Widow.  Formerly a rather cliched villainess, she's lasted through various incarnations (and a certain historical implausibility) to become one of the stalwarts of the Marvel U.  She & Nick could probably headline a great espionage book under the right writer (an Ostrander, Rucka, or Priest).

5. Nyota Penda Uhura.  Another historically significant heroine, who never took any guff from anyone, except perhaps William Shatner (her role in ST V was _painful_... but hey, he was the director).
