tell me a story, game!

So with the new kids coming in and showing off their shiny new fandoms, I'm curious.

How'd you get into your canon?

Did you just pick it up one day and found yourself unable to put it down, or did someone (maybe from this game) drag you into it? How long have you been into it? Was there any one thing or character that hooked you on it? This is your chance to wax nostalgic and go on about what made your canon so cool for you. If there's a story behind it, tell us! And if there's not... tell us anyway!

This is one of those fandoms that I just sort of fell into by accident.

I was hanging out a Books A Million while waiting for someone (I think) and I was wandering in the sci-fi/fantasy section. There was this book that had a yellow spine and the words "ROGUE ANGEL" on it. So, of course, I had to pick it up to peruse just for the title alone. I read a few pages and I was hooked. I mean you had this redheaded history buff who was an archaeologist and working for a cheesy cable TV show so she had money to do the things she wanted and go on archaeological digs? Of course I was going to love this series!

Then you add in the Sword belonging to Joan of Arc, Roux and Garin and you have one of my top five favorite book series ever! The books are full of supernatural stuff, the mythological/historical case of the moment (Solomon's Jar of demons!), and fun interactions with Annja and the guys. I could not stop reading these books (and even got [livejournal.com profile] wantstocheer to read the first couple, too.) 23 books later and I am still in love with the series and looking forward to the next books that come out. (I think the newest Rogue Angel book comes out in May...)

The fact that [livejournal.com profile] stylin_wizard and [livejournal.com profile] bigbrothersean are as much into the series as I am only helps. No really!

♥!

I am anxiously awaiting the next title. I have maybe four(?) to read before then but I want more, please!

Meep! The Bone Conjurer came out Tuesday and I missed it!

*needs to get this!*

I missed it too, darn!

I picked up Sacred Ground last month, but I don't think I knew when The Bone Conjurer was coming out. So, I'm totally going to get that ASAP.
