I am new to the list..and all I have read were this big mess over a poem. I totally agree it shouldnt have been posted..but what angers me is the fact that the person who posted it KNEW it was wrong to post it. she asked us to "not kill her, listsibs".... >> She said She didn't KNow it was wrong for god sakes it was a stinking poem she said she was sorry for doing it, and in most case all she can do is say she was sorry. Do you really want one of the list people to leave? I sure dont and I HOPE she stays right where she is at. As far as knowing Mist didn't want Fanfic. I didn't know, she didn't so maybe she didn't to. Geee's you all need to lurn a little FORGIVENS if you ask me. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Aug 2000 12:00:51 -0700 (PDT) From: Jaec Songblade To: MLML Subject: Names, Companions adn Heralds Message-ID: <20000818190051.8925.qmail-+AT+-web4802.mail.yahoo.com> Li'nia Stormdancer said: > Ob-Misty: Could someone please help me with a question here, since I don't have BTS with me? There was a dark-skinned man that was a member of Kerowyn's Company; I'm sorry, but I can't remember his name, though think it started with a "G". I've been trying to remember his name what country he's from; all I remember is that it was somewhere way south. Does anyone remember? Thanks! > His name is Geyr and from all the descriptions he given, I always assumed he was from the Haileigh(sp?) Empires. He also had the small running dogs which if I remember correctly the Haileigh raced dogs like northerners raced horses, I believe that was said in White Gryphon.

I was _told_ (and you know how that can be) that she was given some grief by ML lawyers for using her name as her persona's name in the club she was in. No clue on the truth of the comment. *g* > One thing, I think the story is not true because I know Elspeth is a real name as is Talia, as in not of Misty's own creation. Kero again: > Oh, and a quick question/request... Does anyone have the email addy for sending a question to Misty (ie her assistants *G*)? I know we have one of her assistants (I'm sure there are more than one *G*) on this list, but I'm not sure if he'll catch this. so... anyone got it? Trust me.. this isn't a FAQ or anything of the sort, I'm sure. It's a bit unusual, I'd think...then again I don't get Misty's questions so who knows! > There is an Ask Misty section at Firebirdarts.com try that. or look it up in the archives. L.J.

Of all of the heralds and companions in the book, which would have been the worst match you could think of, if they were thrown together? (that is, a different companion had ended up with that herald). I just thought it'd be an interesting topic, and not one I remember being brought up before. I haven't anything to add to it at the moment, but if others do I'd have funreading it. > If a Companion chose the wrong person to be his/her herald, it would be scary. Think of all the relationships that are entirely messed up because the people involved chose wrong? It's scary. Anywho, If Sayvil and anyone but Kero. >Talia is actually a traditional hebrew / Jewish girls name. Elspeth is >avery old English name ... I believe, actually, that there was a >Princess Elspeth in about 1180. Vanyel, as far as I >know, is original Addition, I believe Elspeth is an alternitive fro of Elizabeth( i think I saw that in a Baby Name book, those things are very interesting reading.) I also saw Ulrich somewhere, I can't remember, I think it was in the credits of a movie.
