Book Title: Black Moon
Author: C.L.Bevill
Date Published: 2010
Length: 88 pages
Format Read: Kindle E-Book
Price: Free
Rating: 1 out of 5
Black Moon is the story of Donavon, a werecat of the Cat Clan, and his rescue of Isabella, the uncommon librarian from his enemies the Werewolf Clan.
This story is very derivative of other recent genre novels and the naming of the central female character as Isabella is a nod to this. The plot is centred around two main characters who are described in a manner meant to be sensual but that left a lot to be desired. The two main characters pretty quickly fall into bed and this scene is described in graphic detail.
This book is the first in a trilogy and as such it does set up for the other two books with a very open ending.
I think that this book was value for money, heck it was free, and as a quick read its not too bad. It isn't great but it is what it is. If you want a Twilight/True Blood -esque book then you may as well go for this, but be prepared that it is lesser quality or you will find yourself disappointed.

Childhood Geekiness
This Weird-Al song was implanted in my brain at such a young age that whenever I hear the original my brain starts to sing this version.
I always knew that I was destined for geek-dom :)
FanBoy vs FanGirl
Fanboys and Fangirls. Two endangered species currently on the rise. With the advent of shows such as the above mentioned Supernatural, fangirls are becoming the menace of every good fan out there. Girls who just happen to be fans are getting tarred with the same brush. I am one of those girls.
I would describe myself as a fanboy despite being a female. To me it is a matter of outlook and how you express the affection you have for a certain show/movie/comic. A fanboy is someone who appreciates the show and gets engrossed in the mythology as well as being able to recall entire episodes word for word at the drop of a hat. We are often critical of shows, but that shows our love as we feel deeply the cutting knife of a slip in cannon. We want our shows to be the perfect entities that we imagine them to be. But we are also realists and know that this won't happen. George did make those prequels...
Those who go to far in the love of a show aren't fanboys despite the mass media hauling out those who dress as Klingons to work as the stereotype. They are just eejits who bring down the name of the fandom for all the other fanboys.
<img src="
" />Fangirls are an entirely different species. The giggling school-girls and middle aged women who fawn over actors and characters as though they have a passionate love affair with them are, well lets be brutally honest, a disgrace. A fangirl is someone who writes, reads and re-enacts fan-fic. I must admit I have done two of the above and also admit that that is where my hate lies for the fangirl. I have the excuse of only being a teenager...and that a certain Misha Collins is a beautiful man. But I would never describe myself as a fangirl. The typical fangirl is a young woman around 16-25, who uses the word "squee" to describe the emotions that are inside her over a piece of work/actor/character. They are an irritant to fans because they often do not know or fully appreciate the show/movie and only watch because of an actor. Twilight fans are possibly the shining example of the horribleness of a fangirl. Twimums are disgusting, madly in love with children half their age.
To conclude...after my rant...I am a fanboy...with a touch of fangirl...not too much, just a dash...I hope I have the balance correct...

Fan-fiction - I love to hate it! I'll admit to reading it, Supernatural fanfic, but I mainly read when I'm bored and I do agree that it allows for creative imaginations to further the story and to set up scenarios that will never be seen on the actual show - slash fic for example. But it does broach into the region of being too fan-girl for me.

Box
There is an opened box on my floor just waiting for me to pack away some memories. I am a bit of a hoarder, I fill empty shoe, book or indeed, any box I have with things from my past which I'll keep forever.
I love my memories but since my real memory is slowly fading the mementos help me to recall events that have become foggy.
When I die someone will have to sort through all my boxes and they will throw away my life. They will discard old movie tickets and items which have personal resonance for me will mean nothing to them. The dummy egg will be tossed into the rubbish pile along with my memories. My personal history will be wiped clean as my personal items are destroyed.

Hello :)
Hello. This is my first post on LJ. Not sure whether I will actually use this site or not, as I don't think I have that much interesting to say, but, hell, 21st century and all...
I will tell you all a little bit about me. I am a student at Glasgow Uni, I am currently studying English Lit and Spanish. I am an avid fan of Sci-fi and I love BBC classic comedy shows like Monty Python and Porridge. In my spare time I play the trumpet and read a lot...
I reckon I will use this account to review movies, books, TV shows etc. as well as make irreverent, but hopefully thought-provoking or funny statements of my life.
Goodbye.
