Alternative madness this March

To say I'm not a sports fan is an understatement, so March Madness holds no particular magic for me. But I'm thoroughly enjoying some of the alternate brackets happening around the web right now.

First, we have DA BWAHA, a bracket match between some of the most popular recent romance novels from varying subgenres, including contemporary, historical and young adult. Original brackets have already been filled out and submitted, but the second chance bracket happens tomorrow. And you can always cast your vote!

Next is another literary cage match -- this one to the death. Dum dum dummmmmmm. Suvudu is pitting well-known sci fi/fantasy characters against each other in a death match. My man Harry Dresden went down in the first round to Conan the Barbarian, but my other man Jaime Lannister is still a-fightin'.

Finally, cake vs. pie. And what kind of cake? What's your pie preference? Voting has never been more delicious.

I thought the yarn would be safe in the closet. I see now that I was wrong. Well played, cats.
