Me too! This one is difficult :)

Dang this was ridiculous. Whose bright idea was this anyway?
we gotta do something more fun for FEb...any ideas?
I am thinking Fairy since Cupid is a fairy/cherub!

Didn't we just do fairies not too long ago last year?

*goes off to check personal archives*

Yup, we did. November 2014's Creature Feature was Fae/Sidhe, and for creature we had the choice of Fairies or Sidhe. Also, February 2014's Creature Feature was Cupid.

Cherubs would have us branching out into Angels, I think, more so than fairies.

With us doing Cupid last year, my suggestion is that we go to the other side of the spectrum and think of an Anti-Valentine's theme, in honor of those who don't have a significant other. Demons is my first thought, but Goblins or any other nasty creature would work too.

You could do an Angels/demons theme and have half happy love stories and half nasty creatures

I'll save that for April---Easter-Ish Theme.

Maybe more for summer, but I feel like sea creatures don't get enough love

Ezi, why not go with a Sports Player theme there? I'm not finding any basketball themed sports romances in a quick search, but I'm coming across a ton of Football, baseball, soccer and hockey romances!

If we don't want a sports player theme (which would be a good idea for May incidentally, with Hockey playoffs and baseball starting), there are a lot of other things to focus on in March. It happens to be National Frozen Food Month, National Peanut Month, and National Nutrition Month. How about doing a Chef Creature Feature? It is also social workers month, so we could do a Creature Feature for that too.

I am scared to read a mermaid book that isn't Ariel the Little Mermaid

I've read a couple over the years. Some are better than others, but I've not enjoyed the YA ones I've read. I think my favorite was a series by Mary Janice Davidson, with the first book being Sleeping with the Fishes.

[Jonquil]

Dropped in to hang my head in shame, surprised to see I am not alone in being deity free.


Have we done phobias? Primary topic phobia plotlines; secondary topic books that include our personal phobias. (That terrifying bridge in Tampa that I white-knuckled across at 15 miles an hour because my eyes were closed.)

You guys are full of ideas. Thanks. I must write down and prepare.

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

OKAY, thanks to Ashley, Trea
Based on feedback for Creatures.
This is what I have:
Feb: Demon
March:?
April: Angel
July: Sea Creatures

Does that look about right?

@Jonquil: I like your phobia idea, how can I make that a monster/creature?

I seem to remember reading a book or something about a creature that fed on fears....lemme do some research and get back to you. I've had a migraine all day and am just now getting to be able to sit down at the computer.

[⚜️XAR]

Ok, I found a couple of things...First one was this one, which Harry Potter 3 would be a shoe in for, and this one which gives a few ideas as well.

Also, for February, look for Japanese Oni books, that would be their version of Demons.

that would be hard for us to find books...let me get FEb worked out, then I will work on seeing how we can make Fear work for us

Ezi, I played with this all weekend and I'm clueless. It's a shame because I perversely love the idea of a vampire who's scared of the sight of blood.
