I've just joined this list (maybe like an hour ago or so.) Mind if I just jump right in? I don't think that Dirk, Talia and Kris would go three-way. With the way that Misty describes lifebondings, and what Dirk and Talia went through, there would be a lot more friction than joy in the relationship. Dirk just seems to have absolutely NO self confidence at all, and having Kris involved in something as intense as their lifebond. Never mind the fact that in "Arrows Fall", Misty pretty much defines Kris and Talia's feelings about each other very clearly: friends and lovers at one point, but no love outside of that, and no indications of a lifebond between those two. Although it would be interesting as to what would happen to Kris if he did live. I personally think that Kris would have gone through the same sort of soul-search that Firesong went through.

Reasoning - there were no signs of a lifebond between Talia & Kris, just between Talia & Dirk. Whereas, with Sherrill, Ylsa, and Keren, there were two lifebondings (is that a word?) - Ylsa & Keren, and Sherril & Keren. Plus, aren't lifebonds supposed to be more common in people who need the extra mental/emotional support? Kris didn't seem the type to need that sort of support, although Talia does, and I guess it's more likely for only one member of a lifebonded pair to need the support. Sort of a supporter and a support-ee deal.

I've known a few polyamorous groupings (of varied gender and preference groupings--yes, I do have odd friends), and I definitely know such groupings are quite possible and when all the parties are open and willing, often more stable than traditional pairings. As to whether it would have/should have happened between Dirk, Talia, and Kris...I tend to think not. Dirk, at least, seemed to have far too much of an either/or attitude (either Talia loved him, or she loved Kris...and he didn't cope too well with the idea of her loving Kris, IIRC). Although the friendship between him and Kris would have helped ease friction if such a relationship got started, I don't think they could have gotten it past that stumbling block.

Dirk just seems to have absolutely NO self confidence at >all, and having Kris involved in something as intense as their lifebond. I think that's a good point. I'm not sure Dirk could really do it: even with Talia's Empathic projecting, I think with Kris around Dirk would still have the occasional self-esteem crisis, and I think Talia would get tired of having to reassure him of their lifebond -- which would be pretty painful for Kris, having Talia constantly reassuring Dirk that Kris was only second-best in their three-way bond. On the other hand, with Sherrill and Keren, and Keren and Ylsa, I've always thought that the pivot point on that relationship would have been Keren's relationship with each of them. So maybe the emotional center of a Kris/Dirk/Talia relationship wouldn't be Talia at all, but Dirk, which actually makes more sense. I never got the sense that Talia was much closer to Kris than she was to Skif, for instance. >.... Although it would be interesting as to what would happen to Kris if he >did live. I personally think that Kris would have gone through the same >sort of soul-search that Firesong went through. There was a fairly poignant moment in "Arrow's Flight" where Kris thinks to himself that both Dirk and Talia have depths that no one, including himself, has ever seen, yet. And, being pretty sure that they are lifebonded, he's genuinely delighted that they have found each other, and that (eventually) they will find those depths within each other. But there's also a little bit of wistfulness that these are the two people who he is probably closest to in the world, and yet he will never share that much, not with them, and probably not with anyone. (Although I imagine that if Kris had lived, Mercedes Lackey would have found him someone in the next book.)

You Don't need a spoiler for Arrows. The trilogy has been out for at least ten years, if not tht then defenatly something close to that long. I you haven't read it, then maybe you should, before reading any further, becuase most people wont use a spoiler for it. The only things that really should have spoilers are Brightly Burning, Serpant's Shadow, and MAYBE Owls series and Storms. Possibly a few others that are newer then a couple years. Anywho, now that I have cleared that up, Kris Dirk and Talia would never have formed a threesome. In Fact IIRC that it is pretty clearly suggested in Arrow's Fall (Sorry Note qoute, I don't know where my Book is) that Kris has no intention of pursueing his relatioship with Talia passed a really good friendship. I believe he says something like ,"Nothing would give me more joy than if the two people I love most found Happiness with eachother" Or something like that. He has no plans to be part of that picture. The only reasons that they slept together at all are because A.)They were alone together for a year and a half with no one else around, only someone made of steel wouldn't have done something(I believe that this is also stated somewhere) B.) It was pretty cold out there they had to keep warm somehow, and C.) There really wasn't much else for them to do to pass the time. Anyways, Kris would not have form a threesome with talia and Dirk. He had full plans to remain their friend and nothing else, that is until he died anyway. Sorry if this sounds kind of snotty, but I am really tired, I didn't sleep last night. In fact I am going to bed now, Hopefully forgiving sheep to everyone, Oh and Welcometo the Newbies, You might want to check out NewieFest if you haven't already, It has all the rules and explains various things like the Sheep.

There are only a few books under spoilers, Brightly Burning, Serpants Shadow, and MAYBE Owl's (not Storms). If you haven't read at least most of the other books you a) probably shouldn't be on the list and b) certainly shouldn't expect people to be putting spoilers for you.

The addy for the newbiefest has been sent out a few times, I know, and I'd send it out again, but I'm not on my computer, so I don't have it. Could someone send it out again? And could the newbies PLEASE PLEASE read it? The rest of us would appreciate it a lot. I don't mean to flame anyone, but to all of the people who've been on this list for a long time, all of this stuff is getting REALLY annoying. About the Kris, Dirk and Talia thing, no, they woulnd't have ever become a threesome thing. Kris said, in AFlight that he wasn't really into Talia, and he hoped she wasn't too into him. They were most definitely NOT lifebonded, and Dirk and Talia most definitely ARE. Also, Kris says at the beginning of AFlight that he didn't think he would ever form a permanent relationship with anyone, becuase it was too much commitment, and I can hardly see him forming that commitment to TWO people.

ANYWAY, i'm sorry if I sound snotty, but last time I was at the newbie fest website it wasn't posted for what books I'm aloud to put up a spoiler space for. . . . Okay Ciara, since you couldn't find it on your own, here is what the NewbieFest says about spoilers: SPOILERS: Remember to use spoilers, please... currently, Fire Bird, Sword of Ice, Oathblood and Owlflight are in spoilers. If you want to ask about them, either write a seperate message with SPOILER in the title, and the name of which book. If it's in a post, please put it at the end, because many people will, upon encountering a spoiler, disregard the rest of the message. Besides, it's the polite thing to do. Since the NewbieFest is somewhat outdated, it is logical to assume that any more recent books are under spoiler as well. It does not, however, make any sense to put older books under spoilers. If anyone yelled at you for not putting old books under spoiler, then they obviously don't know what the rules are, and I suggest that they take a look at the NewbieFest too. It's nothing against you, or anyone else personally, but for people who have been part of this list for years, it's rather aggravating to have a bunch of newbies who don't seem to know what they are doing, and don't seem inclined to listen to the elders of the list. I don't want to scare anyone away, but I want the list to run as it was intended. Everything works better that way. I hope I didn't offend anyone, and I hope that anyone I did offend will forgive me. ~Lightsong Royal Defender of the Brat Dame of OoAM She'enedra to Starshadow ~ ~ Do not live merely in harmony, and some say, but in melody. ~ ~ _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2001 23:48:19 -0400 (EDT) From: Kenneth Allen Hyde To: Misty Lackey List Subject: Re: Arrows Books Message-ID: On Wed, 4 Jul 2001, ~*~ Ciara ~*~ wrote: > I'm Sorry I put a spoiler space for the Arrows series, but LAST time I > didn't put a space and I got yelled at, so I'm sorry, and I DID see > the newbie fest, several times in fact, but I thought it would be > better to put it up then to get yelled at, so I'm sorry for putting it > up!!!

There is nothing particularly wrong with putting spoiler space unnecessarily (it makes the digest look a bit odd, but that's about it). As a general rule of thumb, if the paperback version of a book has been in print for a year, you can assume that it is no longer a spoiler. At the current time, I think that "Brightly Burning" and the new hardback (Serpent's whoozeewhatsit) are the Misty books that should have spoiler space. You can assume that spoiler space is not required for any of the other books, especially the Arrows series, since the first book is older than some of the people on this list (can you believe it's been 16 years already?). BTW, it is about time to update the NewbieFest. If anyone on the list has any suggestions or comments, please email me with them. I don't guarantee to incorporate every suggestion, but all the feedback would be very helpful.
