So, apparently the publishers of Naomi Novik’s Temeraire books (which I adore to bits) have caught bracket-mania and are doing “cage matches” of the heroes of various books of fantasy.
Temeraire (who is a dragon, by the way…) is currently losing to some schmuck with a sword who has already beaten Hermione Granger and Cthulhu!
And Naomi has written a crackfic featuring Temeraire, Iskierka, Polgara, Hermione… and Ryan Seacrest… (I mentioned it was crack, right?) Here: https://naominovik.livejournal.com/41186.html.
