Yuletide 2010: What I Did Nominate

[starlady]

For those of you who don't know it, I wholeheartedly recommend the Chromatic Yuletide 2010 challenge hosted by dark_agenda in honor of the late skywardprodigal, who is already much missed.

So I nominated:

Disney Princess Superheroes - chromatic characters are Jasmine, Mulan, and Tinker Bell  Tiana

Magic Under Glass by Jaclyn Dolamore (white creator) - chromatic character is Nimira (pimp post/review here)

White Is for Witching by Helen Oyeyemi - chromatic creator, chromatic characters are Ore and Sade (pimp post/review here)

the Clockwork Century by Cherie Priest (white creator) - multiple chromatic characters including Croggon Hainey

and NPR RPF and Paradise Kiss, which were already nominated.

White is for Witching sounds both incredibly interesting and like it would give me nightmares. To read or not to read....

I do remember it being creepy. On the other hand, it's much, much less creepy than House of Leaves, for instance. And my tolerance for creepiness in books is rather low.

I have Oyeyemi's first novel, The Icarus Girl, on my shelf to read; that one also got rave reviews, apparently.

I have not read House of Leaves. My tolerance for creepiness is...nearly nonexistent. I may take a look at her other books first.
