First off. Issica said: > Well, on the cover of MPawn, Van looks like he's > thirty-something, or at least twenty-six. I don't care how harried he > was suppossed to be, a sixteen year old can't look the was the dude on > the cover does (not even in Velgarth). I'm not going to flame you or anything so don't worry.:) I would just like to point out that if you had had your love & lifebonded die, your channels torn open, & were in so much pain you would rather have died than lived, you wouldn't be looking so young either. I'm not suprised he looked as bad as he did on the cover. That's my opinion anyway.I really don't care if you agree with me or not, I just felt I should explain it. Who wrote The White Mists of Power? I've never heard of it before. I haven't been able to send my nominees in either. It just keeps getting sent back to me. I'm starting to get really annoyed with that. _Is_ there another address we can reach you by TG?

Message-ID: <33D56A1F.FC7DB373-+AT+-atlonline.com> Okay, I've been gone for a whole week and have, oh, 200+ messages to catch up on, so here's a start. I'm sure you're all sick of this, but here are -my- lists for your reading pleasure: Fav. Characters: Female: Savil Solaris Kero/Tarma/Kethry (three-way tie ) Rose (from _The Fire Rose_) Sharra (from _Elvenbane_ & _Elvenblood_) Male: Alberich (awesome guy!) Karrl (of course...) ^^^break for thought^^^oh, this is -so- hard^^^break over^^^ Van Stef/'Lendel Amberdrake Non-Human: Aubri! (yeah, the -other- gryphon) Rris Uh...Amberdrake's hertasi, I can't remember his name Florian Altra (cats are truly awesome animals!) Fav. Books of All Time: 1. Chronicles of Narnia 2. Chronicles of Prydain (the ones with the cover art that looks like Van 'n 'Fandes) 3. Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn series by Tad Williams 4. The Last Unicorn (good movie, too!) ^^^yep, 'nother think break^^^this is tough^^^oh, wait, I forgot Misty ^^^okay, break over^^^ 5. By the Sword/MageStorms/AOQ ('nother 3-way tie, sorry!) Ob-rear-saving-device: The above is in no consequential order. Okay.... Lesssee. Oh, fluffy: my b-day's -also- in March. I was born the 28th, but I think I'm a true Pisces at heart (I was late, which kinda explains it, right? RIGHT? =) ) Oh, goodness... Sorry for the post of little/late content, but it's tough catchin' up to y'all. And it's -HOT- here in good ole Georgia, with a 300% humidity. Add that to 90+F temps and it's -really- hot here. So no griping 'bout the heat. =) (Plus, I work in a greenhouse, where the temp is 10-20+ the outside temp. It's an unwitting sauna!) Anyways, enough fluff from me. I hope you all have happy b-days, all of you who have them this month. Stars light your paths, NightSong ^-^ jwrenn-+AT+-atlonline.com p.s. sorry if html code comes through with this... I'm using the new netscape messenger email and don't quite know how to work it yet. ice-cream sheep to all those suffering from the heat and my silly post. =) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Jul 1997 23:12:10 -0400 (EDT) From: Ambyrglow-+AT+-aol.com To: mercedes-lackey-+AT+-herald.co.uk Subject: Favorite Characters Message-ID: <970722231158_-358046923-+AT+-emout11.mail.aol.com> I tallied up the totals for our favorite characters thread, and here's the results for the top 6 in each catagory.

Since we are giving favorites, I had to put my two cents worth in. First, I have to say I don't really have a favorite Misty character good or bad. I like Talia, thats about it. The flavor and sensuality of her writing makes all the characters wonderful. Her writing is rich and enjoyable. I've read the Last Herald Mage books and the Arrows books several times. Which brings me to my all time favorite authors (people I've read again and again and whom I collect in hardback): 1. Mercedes Lackey 2. Robert Jordan 3. David Eddings 4. Anne McCaffery 5. There is no fifth; any suggestions? Thank you for listening. I've really enjoyed all the discussions and the list in general. Watch your head, Leslie A. Gallagher /> There can be only one...

I think singnet has a problem with AOL (or vice versa, they did thias routine email thingey a few weeks back, so there's a small prob..) And in reply, yes, I _do_ have a second address. It's with my sig below! Use rocketmail or bigfoot. Darkflower: I really can't add anymore categories. I want to, but I can't. It's really really messy. Plus, there's only two firecats that we know? Three to Four Companions that we really like? It won't be much of a category really. Just place your nominee under "non-human fe/male". Really really sorry! News update: I have 10 nominees for supporting male , out of which 9 have only _ONE_ vote. 15 nominees for human male, it's slightly better. For best male-human, Van's leading by 3 votes. Human-female, Kero's leading by 4 votes. Non-human female, tie between 'Fandes and Need (both lead by 3 votes). Villain, Melles is leading with 2 votes. Series, LHM is leading with 4 votes.

Well, here are my favourite human characters: Elspeth Karal Talia (even though she's too perfect) Keren Skif and the non-human ones: Gwena Vree (he's so cute) the gryphons NEways, off the Valdemar subject, but does anyone know the whole of the lyrics of Fiddler Girl/Skull Hill Ghost (from the Lark and the Wren)? I know most of it's in the book, but what about the middle part? ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 23 Jul 1997 15:30:48 -0400 From: Jennifer Wrenn To: mercedes-lackey-+AT+-herald.co.uk Subject: Still Catching Up! (beware: more lists coming up!) Message-ID: <33D65BE8.989117F2-+AT+-atlonline.com> Okay, lessee... Favorite scenes from Misty books, eh? Umm... 1 'Lendel and Van's mudfight 2 The snow demon fight in one of the Vows and Honors books (y'know, where Tarma's the snow demon and she's against Keth and the kids?) 3 When Van&co tells his father off in MPawn (?) ^^^you guys pick -hard- topics, y'know?^^^ 4 The scene in BGryphon when Aubri moves into Skan's tent to heal, with the tossing of insults, etc 5 Talia 'n Dirk's wedding (afterwards) when she finds the bouquet Okay, five favorite authors? Besides Misty, of course, that goes without saying... 1 Orson Scott Card (-loved- Ender trilogy, forgot to put it on my list of fav. books. :( ) 2 Piers Anthony (okay, flame me, I really don't care--but let it be private, okay?) 3 Melanie Rawn 4 Tad Williams 5 Anne McCaffrey (though her Pern books were getting just a tiny bit repetitive, IMO) I'd like to bring up a question I had a while back, that no one really ever answered. Just for thoughts, okay? I asked then -where- Need came from. We know her basic history from those flashbacks she did with Skif, Elspeth, and Nyara. We know her land worshipped twin gods (male and female, I think). But -where- is this place? I don't think it's Iftel, Rethwellin, or Karse, and definitely -not- Valdemar or the Empire. So, where? Was she from a time so long ago that her land no longer exists and the god/goddess forgotten? I don't think there's any textevd for any of this, but I'd be very interested to hear your speculations, listsibs. Any thoughts? Please? Anyhow, I have to go, RL calls again. Will continue to catch up, so hopefully one day you won't have to read my out-of-date posts any longer. ^-^ Stars light your paths, NightSong ^-^ jwrenn-+AT+-atlonline.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 23 Jul 1997 13:15:14 -0700 (PDT) From: Roxanne Nolan To: mercedes-lackey-+AT+-herald.co.uk Subject: Re: IreallydontknowwhyImwritingthis Message-ID: <199707232015.NAA06272-+AT+-concord.televar.com> At 03:04 PM 7/21/97 +0100, you wrote: >My favorite proverb - May ALL your children turn out like you!
