Early ,'Objects In Space'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
Anyone want to help with a guest blog post I have to do? They want to know my ten favorite literary couples, and I'm coming up short. I have seven so far:
1) Jane/Rochester
2) Kit/Nat (Witch of Blackbird Pond)
3) Jo/Professor Bhaer
4) Clare/Henry (The Time Traveler's Wife)
5) Hermione/Ron
6) Aislinn/Seth (YA, Wicked Lovely)
7) Claire/Jamie (Outlander)
Who am I missing? Or who are some of yours?
Cordelia/Aral Vorkosigan
Raven/Alexander (YA, Vampire Kisses)
... I suppose Morticia/Gomez doesn't count, since there aren't really any Addams Family books. ('tho good G-D, I would kill to work on books for that.)
Oh, man, that would be fun, Jilli. It could be a YA! Their early days!
Harriet Vane/Lord Peter Wimsey
Nick & Nora Charles
Meg/Calvin (Wrinkle in Time et al)
Anne/Gilbert (Anne of Green Gables)
Ishmael/Queequeg
Also, what Connie said.

I keep meaning to talk to my agent about it to see what she thinks, but then I keep telling myself, no, finish the fiction project first.
Other couples:
Snape/Lily (I can't help it. Sev, you poor bastard.)
Richard/Alec (Swordspoint)
Amy, do you Discworld?
How literally do they mean "couple"?
What about:
Discworld! Of course!
Sam/Sybil
Carrot/Angua
Magrat/Verence
Tiffany/Preston
Yeah, I'm not a big sci-fi/fantasy reader, so I have no idea who half those people are.
And the list is for a blog for teen readers. I'd put a same-sex couple on there, but not one that's not canon, like Holmes/Watson. They can figure out slash on their own.
I'm adding Abelard/Heloise, because it's my list and I can, and probably Emma/Knightley, and possibly Katniss/Peeta, even if that's open to discussion.
