I once (and by once, I mean right now) had an idea about a German girl who dresses as a boy and becomes a pilot during WWI, but gets shot down...but before she crashes, she gets transported (John Carter style) to an alien world and there are flying ships and sword fights and she shoots down dragons with her biplane because that'd be AWESOME.
We do not have enough planetary romance novels anymore. They combine my favorite things of exotic locals, epic adventures, and a lack of clothes.

I'll send you a PM either later or tomorrow. I promise. Or search, 'OH MY LORD, SHE'S A CACTUS'. It's a 33 seconds long video.
ETA: I will, as soon as I find the right thread. |

What is the YAWN thing? Is it sexy? *yawns just thinking about it*
ETA: Yawning just thinking about YAWNing, not about sexy things. I don't yawn at sexy things. Promises.

With the snippet, is it anything written that day, or since YAWN started? And do we rep?

Zoom - Bujold's work is released as free ebooks by her pioneering publisher, Baen, and can be legally downloaded in many formats all over the internet. Here's a link to basically everything she's written in this setting, and here is the link to Cordelia's Honour, the omnibus of Shards of Honour and its sequel Barrayar. On the left are links for reading in various formats.

I'm not a HUGE fan of McCaffrey...never liked Pern, for one thing. She has weird ideas about homosexuality...
