Hmm, now twins might be an interesting turn of events. As for Falconsbane being schizophrenic, his thing with cleanliness doesn't rule out that diagnosis. The basis for this disorder is a loss of touch with reality, bizzare delusions, and/or halucinations, not hygeine. However, his fixation on the gryphons and general mistrust suggest obsessions, and possible paranoia (had to get that last on in, seeing as my thesis is on paranoia in everyday life) Gotta go! popsicle sheep to all!

Let's see..... Male: Vanyel Moondance Alberich Jadrek Amberdrake Female: Kerowyn Selenay Tarma Kethry Savil Non human: 1. Yfandes (IMHO a fabu, tragic, and heroic character) 2. Warrl (do any of you imagine his mindvoice as male? I find the song where Warrl talks to Kero quite hilarious due to the fact that it is sung by a woman, and although neuter, I have always felt Warrl as "male"). 3. Need 4. Hydona 5.

Moon Children) if you didn't know. (So am I, my birthday was 7-4). I've noticed that Cancers and Pisces are especially attracted to sci-fi / fantasy, hence are attracted to this list. Are a lot of the rest of you born late Feb / early March? This is just a possible explanation. ObMisty - What are your thoughts on the relative merits of _Sword of Ice_? I thought some of the stories were cool, but letting other people write in Velgarth *may* have been a bad idea. If you've ever read most of the Star Wars books, other than the Timothy Zahn & one of the Barbara Hambly ones, you'll know what I mean. Zhai'hellava, Icesong Tayledras Bard-Mage in Training P.S.

Mine's the fourth of Sept.. 1 month and 15 days.... ********************************************************************** Dax the Eternal asked some very pointed questions about SERRA, I'll try to answer some of them... There are some spoilers in them (I think)... >If Tannim and his Foxy lady have kids, will they have tails? Hmm.. Possibly, it just depends on the genetics. Also, Shar is a ?4? tail correct? and she should pass at least one tail on.. I think. >If Chinthliss and his Foxy lady have kids, and they are dragons, will they have more than one tail(like reverse hydras?). Wasn't Shar(Tannim's lady) part dragon, part kitsune? And if she was(I really ought to reread the book now) wouldn't that signify, that the little ones (if there are any) would be somewhat like her? IE more kitsune than dragon.. >Can mortals ever get an elvensteed? Yes, Eric ended up having to ride one, and Kayla too. Yes, they were 'borrowed' and asked to help by Kory, but.. Plus there is the geologist lady (Dr. Susan...)who had an elvenpony. The rest of the questions were good ones. There really should be a "The Great Adventures of Tannim and Deke" published. Maybe as a collection of short stories? Hugs, Ana, Secretary of the CIA, Communications Officer Purple Haze, Member of QO and the PMEB, Keeper of the GASP Radio.

The Goddess of Incomplete Vocabulary and Garbled Grammar has made it back online and onlist! This is Khenta Blaufalk (aka Skyfire k'Vala), now writing from Mannheim, Germany (yes, I've moved), using her housemate's account and computer, so don't be confused if the name "Matthias Pfahler" turns up in the header (I _think_ I canceled it, but I can't say for sure). I've been lurking a bit (ok - 2 days), but I thought the round of "First Misty" is a good opportunity to reintroduce myself. I've been on this list for almost a year until last christmas, when I had to leave because of school, the upcoming move and other unpleasant things. I'm so glad to be back now. Well, I see that there's still that unhealthy fixation on sheep going round! Hey, Cennydd, Councillor of Mist, whatever happened to the Mage of the Green Silences? Ok, to the topic now. My first Misty was actually _Swordsworn_ in S & S 3, if that counts. If not, then it was WoFate, still my favourite! And Elspeth is my alltime favourite character. In the whole field of fantasy literature, she's one of the most outstanding female characters. I've read rumours that Swordsworn will be rereleased. IMO it would be an excellent idea to gather all the Tarma and Kethry stories up in one volume, since all of the respective S & S are out ouf print.

My choices: Females: Savil (teacher with attitude) Keren (teacher, mentor and friend) Talia (teacher, gentle) Kerowyn (just is!) Selenay (good monarch and herald) Males: Karal (truely selfless-Altra is a good balance) Alberich (big responsibility, gruff, yet really cares) Teren (very nurturing) Mero (believes, "There's no one true way") Skif (scamp, but sensitive) Non-Humans: Altra (perfect kitty personna) Need (love her attitude) Gwenna (sneaky and fun) Yfandes (no nonsense, wry sense of humor) Rris (proper kyree with kender-bent) Books: Velgarth World (Misty) Harper Hall Trilogy (McCaffrey) Ship Who Searched (Misty/McCaffrey) Bastard Princess (Claudia Edwards) Darkover Series (MZB) Magician Series (Feist) --I know, 6 is breaking the rules, sorry... Scenes: Van/Withen reconciliation Kero's first "chat" with Need threatening to drop Need down a well if she didn't cool it and good luck rescuing women from down there thank you very much! Talia's first interaction with Elspeth, "the Royal Fish" :-) (AoQ) Darkwind's first discovery of the Gryphons as a boy (Winds of Fate?) Tarma telling off the Clan Elders when they first returned to the Plains (Oathbound) Now, how about 5 story wishes: Selenay - I'd like to see something on her life before she became the monarch--like how/when she was chosen, what has her relationship with her mother like, who was her mother, who were her year mates, etc. Maybe this will be covered in the books (I hope will be written) that covers the period between LHM and AoQ. Altra - Anything more on him would be great. I loved Altra. What was Altra like BEFORE becoming a Firecat, where did he get his sense of humor and hautiness, deviousness, etc, I believe he was Son of the Sun, what was his term like? Karal - Does he succeed Solaris as Son of the Sun? What's his future to be? Diana Tregarde - BEFORE anyone flames me. Yes, I do know Misty said she wouldn't do any more Tregarde books. But, this is my wish list so what I'd like to see would be maybe a pre-history included in an anthology (maybe? or as some sort of minor storyline in another book)--a short story, if you will. When did her gifts start manifesting? Family history or something. We know about mom and Grandma but what else? What kind of kid was she, how did she balance her mother's traditional religious upbringing with her Grandma's? Was she one of the kids rescued by the Elves of Fairgrove due to some horrible accident to her mom/grandma which left her an orphan? This would mean a story COMPLETELY UNRELATED to her role as Guardian and BEFORE she actually began to use her powers. I'm only looking for some closure, that's all. SERRA - Any new books would be great. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Jul 1997 14:51:25 -0400 (EDT) From: Naec1214-+AT+-aol.com To: mercedes-lackey-+AT+-herald.co.uk Subject: ATT:Birthday List-please read :) Message-ID: <970716145048_559115927-+AT+-emout18.mail.aol.com> Heyla Listsibs! :) Since Deniz won't be back for a few weeks I've -temporarily- taken resposibility for the birthday list.

Yay!!!!! /me does the Happy Hamster Hop and the Ecstatic Exdysiast Ebullition! Welcome back, Khenta. You have been missed by all your listsibs. > Hey, Cennydd, Councillor of Mist, whatever happened to the Mage of the > Green Silences? Oh, I am still the Mage of Green Silences (and God of Karma, Avatar of the Goddess of Nomenclature, Object of Unrequited Love/Lust, Chef-Adept, and Public Enemy #1 on the OAM hit list, for that matter), however, in the last week or so, I and a few others have formed (with the sanction of Mel) a "Council of Mist" that is here to handle list problems and help people fit in and learn the Rules of the Thumb and list netiquette. All of the members of the Council have added "Councilor of Mist" to their sigs so that people will know who to contact if they have questions about posting things to the list or netiquette.
