In a message dated 97-12-03 13:32:12 EST, you write:

<<  Just remember the way that Withen
 treated him in the second LHM book about his relationship with Medren, and
 you might then remember that this took place approximately 3 years before
 Van's death.	 >>

     IIRC, in the first chapter of Magic's Promise, it establishes the time
as 12 years after Pawn.  Am I wrong?

ROFL!  Just had to add my $0.02 to the Keanu as Van thing.  While I agree
that Keanu would not be quite right for the movie <tho I do thing he did an
excellent job as a Southern Lawyer in Devil's Own... if he could have just
maintained his southern accent throughout the whole movie>, I haven't quite
figured out who would make a good Van.  Many of the male stars out there
today are just to ruggedly good looking rather than beautiful, as Van is so
often described.  I think were it to be cast, it's probably going to be an
unknown that will walk away with the coveted prize.  <Now that I think of
it, I DO have a very good actor friend from college that would be wonderful
in the part... if he were just taller and lankier.... He's got that ageless
face.  I've seen him play everything from Seymour Krelbourn in Little Shop
to an elderly character <whose name I regretably cannot remember> in A
Shayna Maydel. <Spelling could be wrong>  He even has the beautiful tenor
voice.  If only he were taller and lankier.... then again, there's is
another male actor college friend of mine who also has the "beauty", and
the height and lankiness... I've just never heard him sing, so I don't know
what end of vocal scale he would fall in>  I just can't think of any tall,
lanky, beautiful tenor men in the acting world today.

For the roll of Stef.... For some reason, I picture Keith Coogan <the
red-head from Adventures in Babysitting>, except with curlier hair.  <"You

Anyway, I guess that's it for my $0.02 <that probably looks more like
$20.00 %^}>

I thought it was pretty funny, too.  I wondered at all the people that got
really upset about the things she was saying...and I have to say that the
first thing that came to mind was "What's the matter, guilty
conscience?"!!!!! <-- count 'em

Actually, Misty has a lot of interspecies relationships in her books, for
example Niara (sp?) and Skiff, Elspeth and Darkwind, the griffin and human
woman in the Griffon series, Nightingale and the Bird man, anyone and elves
(SERRAted, Bardz, Bard's Tale, Other bard stuff), Anyone and their
Companion, anyone and their bond bird or Kyrie familiar, The beast and the
wench in whatzit...Firestone or something, human and fairy in Bard's Tale,
Tannim and Kitsune, Lady Iko and Charliss the dragon.  See, lots of
interspecies relationships.

And I think they are all very germane to the story and to the developments
of the plots, they pull us into the stories and make us empathize.  What
difference if the character is gay, black, griffon or faery? Caring about
them and their situation is the important part of the story and the author's
hardest part.

Okay, I have to admit, that the relationships that I tend to feel the most
for ARE the cross species relationships.  There you can really see the
emotion and angst.

Whoa, easy.  On this list we should all remember that everyone is innocent
until proven guilty.  And you can't see their expression on e-mail.  And
ages vary widely on the list, to a 12 year old it may not matter, but that
doesn't mean that they are personally insulting you. *grin*  Like I said in
the message about the Di thing above:  it may be innocently meant or even a
joke.

of cake.

Hey! that's great!  Why don't you talk to them about looking into doing one
of Misty's books?  I think the SERRAted Edge books would translate well onto
film and they are really timely and conscience raising.
Sacred Ground would work really well too.

 Crying: Moreta had such a sad ending. that shouldn't've happened to

books. somedays it doesn't affect me at all. So far I've only found one 
book tha's made me cry every time I've read it. (No not LHM) Don't know 
if anyone else's ever heard of it...It's called _The Cat Who Went to 
Heaven_. Don't know why it always makes me cry....

Kaeldra--Don't worry.  I didn't cry while I read LMH, either.  Ya ain't
alone.  :)  And about the not crying at all...it either means you've led a
wonderfully happy life, or you just have a different way of dealing with
unhappiness.  As long as you know when you're unhappy and let yourself feel
that way and then get over it, you're probably fine.

I agree. Daniel Day-Lewis is better than Keanu Reeves. But I still vote for 
Michael Praed. Besides, he is on the cover. (To be honest, I bought the books in

Yeah except that the Japanese don't just use Japanese material for their 
story lines. They sometimes use other sources. I've seen Anime version 
of folk tales from other countires and don't forget it was a bunch of 
Japanese people who did _The Hobbit_ and _The Return of the King_ by 
J.R.R.Tolkien who is definitley NOT Japanese.

I'm really sorry for saying that those people who didn't cry while reading
LHM had hearts of stone.  It's just that I'm not normally a crier and LHM
affected me very strongly. Since it is still being mentioned I'm officially
apologizing to anyone offended by my thoughtless remark.

	If you want to nitpick you are not truly correct ('anime' is
simply short for 'a-ni-me-shi-o-n(I think)', a corruption of the eigo term
animation).  Besides, I think there has been a couple of anime produced in
Japan based off of western source material.

> Now, have you seen Heavy Metal?  That

	But it's nowhere near Misty either ^_^

	The point being made by those who want Misty's work animated is
that very few US companies are willing to produce quality animation that
is not comparatively simplistic and/or 'family' entertainment; while shows
that deal with sexuality, violence, and complex issues/plotlines are
commonly animated in Japan (see Gainax's 'Evangelion' if you do not
beleive me).

Hi, I'm new to the list and since I asked this over on the AOL boards, I'll 
ask this here
(don't worry - it's germaine)

I first encountered MPawn back in college.  A dorm friend handed me her copy 

and said she thought I'd enjoy it.  <I think she was also trying to get rid 
of me but that's another story)  Needless to say, I was soon back to borrow 
all of her Misty books!  :)

Anyway, this friend said that she'd actually met Misty at a book signing in
Pittsburgh (pre 1990) and that there was a young man at the party who looked 
a
lot like Vanyel.  She asked who he was & was told his name was
Daniel and that he was the inspiration for Vanyel.

She never clarified if Daniel was Misty's inspiration or the cover 
artist's(Jody Lee?) but the Michael Praed comments urged me to inquire here. 
 Has anyone out there ever heard about this?

Can't venture a suggestion of the casting of Vanyel but I'll throw in my 2 
pesos
about Talia:   Winona Rider   but only as the adult Talia.

GrobuHit-+AT+-t-online.de also asked:

<<Hey, were do I find this letter? Anbody please *falls to her knees and

The letter can be found at http://www.firebirdarts.com/
look for The Last Straw by Mercedes Lackey under her section
of this web site.  Or if you'd like, I can email it to you.  I emailed
it to several of my friends (non-Misty readers at that) who needed
a dose of well-written reality injected into another situation.  :)

have a day,

To all who recieved the chain mail letter
from another person who was duped into
sending it

I looked up the American Cancer Society to add the number I had sent.
Their news on it had said the letter was fraudulent, but they applaud
our efforts.  If you were duped, like myself, please pass this notice
on.

Message-ID: <Pine.SOL.3.96.971204082944.26989B-100000-+AT+-titan.cc.wwu.edu>

It seems to me rather silly that the Monarch's own companion is groveborn,
namely because the job is so important and requires so much
compassion/understanding etc., that I would think that a companion with
previous life experience would be an asset.  I mean, just look at
Roland.(is that his name?? suddenly it doesn't look right!)  Talia arrives
with absolutly no people skills.  Because her companion has had experience
with/through his other chosens he is able to help her.  Wouldn't it be a
mess if the old companion dies with his/her herald, a new groveborn
arrives, along with a Talia type person?  Or do you think the companion
would choose someone with the experiences it is lacking?  Any thoughts?

Or do you think that another groveborn would appear and the other pair
would ride circuits or something?

But she did have a choice.  She could've stayed and gotten tortured by
Ancar & Hulda some more.  Granted, that's not a very cheerful option, and
in her case I would probably do what she did.  I think she did indeed try
to kill herself.  She sent the arrow meaning there was no hope for her.

Hey, you might try looking under Firebird Arts, that's where I found it.  I was just 
scanning the Misty websites and found it.  The address is www://firebirdarts.com
This should get you there.  hope it helps.

Hey all.  I hate to say it, but I have to leave for now.  I'm going 
home for Christmas break (i.e. the whole month of December) and I don't 
have access to the University's e-mail.  And I don't think it would be 
too good to come back from break to 1000+ messages (it will happen-I 
got 100+ last week).  IT's been fun though, and I will probably be back 
later.  I'm getting my own computer so I can access my email from it 
and not have ot trot down to the next dorm to use one of theirs.  So 
Happy Holidays, in what ever form you celebrate, and be safe.  I'll 
probably be back in January.
Lots of Luck,
Rehtaeh

When I read it, I thought that Talia was putting herself into the story.
I thought that someone wrote a narrative or something about Van's last
battle or whatever you want to call it.

sword work, but if Vanyel has an accent we're out of luck!  :)  seriously
