It's been a couple months...
so it's time for a new
PIMP MY CANON MEME
Levi, explain.
This is the PIMP MY CANON meme, where you have the opportunity to show off your canon and perhaps even find a new one to get into!
On the flip side, ask about something that interests you! Want to know where you even begin with Homestuck or why it's called a Keyblade when it is very clearly a blunt object? Here is the place to ask!
How do I pimp my canon?
First of all, it's PIMP MY CANON (caps, color, and bolding not optional), and second, do so in whatever ways you deem fit. Write summaries, link videos, screenshots, fanart, playthroughs, whatever you want! Add on to your friend's comments with additional stuff of your own!
The only thing I ask is that you not put too many large images in your post and link to videos rather than embed them. This is so the page doesn't take for-freaking-ever to load and doesn't become inaccessible due to oversaturation of gifs and stuff.
You may also want to keep spoilers to a minimum, but that's your call.
Also make sure your coding works, because nothing sucks more than making a totally awesome ad for your canon only to have a missing bold tag mess it all up.But then again, we all have comment editing now, don't we?

The Wheel of Time
Two, this fits!
three, if you want to wait for forever and a day, there is a comic adaptation slowly coming out.
The Wheel of Time
This book series started in like. May of 1990. Book 14 is promised to be here Jan 2013, and it will be the last one. Particularly because Robert Jordan died. Oops.
In anycase, this series involves a continent that is never named in canon, and how several thousand years ago, a guy with three names (and the so very ominous title of The Dragon) went insane and killed all his family. Oops.
Cut to present day! Our starting setting is a back water town so back water they don't even know they're part of a kingdom. Three boys talk about how its nearly the start of a new year, they all just turned twenty, and how there was this creepy guy in all black staring at them. Oh, but a peddler just came to town with nightflowers and a
bardgleeman! and this really pretty lady - like out of gleeman's tales! - has shown up with some bodyguard or something. Perfectly normal for year's end/spring festival, right? Maybe Rand will finally be betrothed to Egwene, Mat will let loose a badger on the village green, Perrin will continue his apprenticeship...Ravens are supposed to be able to stare at you and calmly sidestep your rocks, right? Right..?
Obviously not. The protagonists realize this, and then.. .. shit hits the fan. Fathers are injured, farms burned, and the news is that The Dragon has been Reborn - and his coming will break the world even as he saves it.
The three boys run off, with that pretty lady and her guard, stalked by their town healer and Egwene, to go prevent The Dark One from "blinding the Eye of the World", and two years later the three boys have managed to end up as some sort of royalty, Tarmon Gai'don is coming and...
It's really hard to explain goofily, there's so much dark and OH DEAR GOD WHY. to this series. Well. Mat rants about boots. and women. and goats and lace and... how he's not a noble even if he is married to an Empress.
It was an accident. Honestly. How was he to know that was his half of the vows?Well, not exactly rants, but close enough.What this series does very well is keep the fact that people do have a lot of trouble understanding each other. It is so frustrating, how poorly these people communicate! That also makes for "FINALLY" when they get it.
Rand and Perrin are better at dealing with women, I wish they were here. Mat and Perrin are better with women, I wish they were here. Rand and Mat are better at talking with women, I wish they were here.
