I'm not sure if I get what you mean...sounds more like you want to archive Velgarth, according to what you listed. Please clear up my confusion!!!

Please clear up my > confusion!!! > Flaime > What does it mean to "archive Velgarth?" Sounds like the original idea is more to make some sort of encyclopedia or glossary, which I think could be cool. Like the way Anne McCaffery has a "Dragonlover's Guide to Pern" (for those of you who know her.) Please explain.

You know like MIKE INDIA SIERRA TANGO YANKEE spells Misty. That would make T = Talia, D = Dirk, etc. Anything like the Dragon Lover's Guide to Pern would be a glossary, I think. BTW I'd like both ideas! May your cakes be covered with sugar-plum sheep! Shantaya Autumnleave "What do you get when you cross a sheep with a cangaroo?

But the tolerance thing is basically the same. Sorry for the double- post, people! Star WArs fan right here! *grin* Same here. Eg: Dragonheart was a relatively ok book. You know, I thought dragonheart was a wonderful book! I couldn't put it down! Um. Didn't Talia give the harp to Dirk as a wedding gift? Kinda like a dowry from herself? I don't know about the origin. You mean Jadus gave Both harps to her? Talia had said nevermind where I got it. From what I understood My lady was from Jadus, and she found the maker and had a second one made. I think for a series as long as Velgrath, if anyone want to make a movie out of it, they should make it into a TV mini-series. NO! Ack! Gag! excuseme...LOL, Mini series, this is my personal opinion, but alot of mini series are worse than Movies! I think it would be a compleat slaughter if they did these books into a mini series. Conserning Fire Rose.... I thought the book could've >conceivably become a trilogy. any thoughts? Um, I read a interview with Misty and she said she didn't want the ending to be like the regular beauity and the beast type stories. And if I remember right, though I could be increadbly wrong....I think she said she didn't plan on writing any more on those two characters. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Jan 1998 19:29:14 -0000 From: "Tim & Tiffanie Gray" To: Subject: Re: Idea Message-ID: <01bd21eb$dd441660$2c8abfa8-+AT+-tiffanie> >e.pvt.k12.nj.us writes: > ><< What does it mean to "archive Velgarth?"

I could be wrong, (though I rarely am *grin*) . www.firebirdarts.com is where they talk about it.
