I was trying to put together my thoughts on urban fantasy and why I still can't find any to read that I don't end up dropping pretty quick, and--

Logically, my brain suggested that I write a Kara Thrace/Sam Anders urban fantasy.

...

I need to go shopping.

*snickers* Kara in leather pants, tracking demons? and Sam is, like, the head of the local demon pack? And there is UST and snarking? ;]

Some Place to be Flying, Charles de Lint. Even my friend's mother who doesn't like fantasy novels enjoyed it.

this probably means you've read it already...

heee. I love de Lint, but he's Heavy, so even though I own it, I still haven't read it (I LOVE his stuff).

::gasps:: But, but... it's my favorite book by de Lint! How can you not have read it?!!!!??!!

De Lint is hit or miss for me, but I love Someplace to be Flying.

The only one I can think of the you might like is Ilona Andrews, though the first book is rather rough. And it's technically post-apocalyptic fantasy...

War for the Oaks (http://www.amazon.com/War-Oaks-Novel-Emma-Bull/dp/0765300346)?

Own it, love it. Sadly, there aren't that many LIKE IT. They're mostly all "I'm really hot and wear leather pants and have a love-hate thing going with the hottest man in town, who MIGHT be a bad guy, and did I mention my breasts and how I wear leather a lot? And don't you dare open a door for me, I'm a Liberated woman, and oh, I am so HOT."

I want people shooting things and killing demons and vampires and plot. I don't CARE about boyfriends and leather pants. I also would like fairies and elves and dwarves, too.

I keep reading urban fantasies hoping for this precise thing. I almost invariably fail to find it. But I"ll let you know if I do.

Urban fantasy like elves and dwarves in NYC ...?

or like "Sam has no pants"?

I would really fucking love that, actually. Most urban fantasy is godawful (I don't care, I read them anyway), and it would be awesome to read Kara/Sam urban fantasy.
