Firefly lasted seven seasons

Really, you had me at Stephenie Meyer (or the lack of), but this....Where do I sign up to get there? I already love this place.

Well. Actually, I need one more piece of information to confirm my love for it. How many seasons of Dollhouse are there?

Twilight's real? 

...I thought it was just a urban legend

Oh, I rather like this world you live on. I want to join you....in a totally non-creeper sense. 

Kendra, this is accurate.  However, it is apparently not as direct of a lift this time.

Like instead of Szeth it's Seth? (I'm not saying that's what it is, I'm just using it as an example...)

Fantasy with good female leads....I haven't read a whole lot of those, and what I have found has mostly been mentioned. Like Elantris, Warbreaker, and the Tiffany Aching Adventures by Pratchett. The other stuff I can think of have been in teen fiction.

First one that pops into my head is the Gemma Doyle Trilogy by Libba Bray. There're 4 main girls and all are very well-developed and the story is excellent. Victorian England. Gotta love it. The first is called A Great and Terrible Beauty.

And the second one is the Mortal Instruments Trilogy by Cassandra Clare. The female lead isn't quite as well-developed, but she's cool enough and the story is pretty good too. Urban Fantasy.

And if you're okay to deviate a little from fantasy into science fiction, I highly recommend Uglies by Scott Westerfeld. That female lead is awesome. I love her.

To be noted: All three of these, with the possible exception of Uglies, are tailored toward girls. Not that it's total chick-lit, but it kind of is.

That, or just say that you can't impeach them and they get a year to be the tyrannical dictator. That could be fun too.

I thought this was kind of assumed, but apparently not. Oh well. There's still a small chance sort and i will regain our respective positions. As Irony and Discord.....

Yes. Those were the names we'd created for ourselves, and the respective powers to go along with them. But we hadn't even used the powers, so I don't see what the real fuss is about. We just wanted to lay down clues to our names and see who the astute person would be that figured them out, but apparently no one wanted to be astute. They just wanted to impeach us....Very disheartening, let me tell you.

I think I made it to the third, and then my mom (fortunately) called me in for dinner....I think.

I might actually have to read hsi books now.

I know. Me too. Sounds intriguing.

I think he's referring to the real name.

Also, that's an interesting tradition. I can think of plenty of people in the same profession who wouldn't be able to do it...Well. Technically they could--it's just whether or not they should. Names are getting crazy enough as it is....
