 I was wondering if this subject would come up again : ) The last 
 time it did it went on for weeks we came up with loads of 
 possibilities of who would play who, in the end there was a 
 definitive cast list printed. I no longer have a copy but maybe some 
 other oldbie might. >>


 I would love to see that list. We have done this over and over on the Rawn
list. We have come up with some pretty good ones and some downright awful
ones. For me though, I guess *my * idea of Van is mine and mine alone, as is
everyones I suppose. It would be hard for me to choose someone to play him as
no one would do him justice <G>. At least in my mind... which is a work in
progress...... lol. 


 I have some very favorite books, one of which is being made into a movie and,
as it turns out, is NOTHING like the book. Sad to say the strong, sexy, larger
than life main character is being played by James Woods. < shudder>
Ummm...yaaa.. hes larger than life alright!!  Sorry to all the James Woods
fans out there. You would have to read the book to know what I mean.

It is a book called " Vampire$" by John Steakley. He is an AMAZING author. I
can never say enough about this book to do it justice. One must MUST MUUUUST
read it for themselves to get the full effect.  Of course that is only  if you
like books about vampire killers that is <G>. It is amazing and so very very
well written. He makes the characters larger than life and soo..soo  cool, for
lack of a better word. LOL. If you have not read it, DO!! This is one book you
cannot miss even if you are not " into" vampires. 

 Now that I have given my book review for the day I will shut up. Maybe I
should be his agent.... what do you think?? <G>

<<If I'm not mistaken, Vanyel had this dream after his Gifts had already
been blasted open.  Before that, he only had dreams of loneliness,
coldness, despair, etc. -- not specific premonitions.>>
   Okay, we're all clear that Van's powers weren't "blasted open" until the
Gate energy was lashed back into him and his lifebonded killed himself,
right?
   But Van dreams of being attacked by an army of mindless monsters
(Leareth's man) at a mouth of a pass through a mountain, and being able to
control the lightning and then dying alone on the very night he finally
tells Lendel about his feelings. In fact, Lendel wakes him from this very
dream. Since Lendel is obviously alive at this point, then it's before Van
is "awakened" magically.

Heyla,
  My favourite book is MPawn, my favourite character is Vanyel, my
favourite non-human character is The Stud, and, I know this sounds
morbid, but it's a good scene, is right before Tylendel dies, to where
Savil takes Van to the Hawkbrothers. 
    I have another favourite question for all of you.
Besides Misty, who is the favourite Sci-Fi/Fantasy author? Mine's
gotta be Piers Anthony.Zhai'hellva,
                                Melanie

<<>  I was thinking today and I began to wonder has Misty ever thought of

Yes, I think movies would be a good idea if someone would do it RIGHT!
But, as we have seen with many many other movie adaptions of book --
Hollywood doesn't believe in doing it right.  So I think I will stick
to watching my own imagination while reading -- its probably makes us
happier in the end. >>
   To quote a post from a while ago by I-don't-remember-who:
"This is the thread that never ends! Yes it goes on and on my friends! Some
people started posting it not knowing what it was, and they'll continue
posting it forever just because this is the thread that never ends..."
   This is the seventh time I've had to deal with this on ~any~ list, but I
don't mind. No, really. Maybe the newbies will come up with something that
hasn't been said before.

   Would somebody please, ~please~ tell me what, if any, the books are after

begging*

Whatever happened to the frienship ring thread?

On a completely different note, I received a very sad poem involving
drinking and driving called "The Moonlight Ride". Privately email me at
grenslde-+AT+-nbnet.nb.ca if anyone would like me to forward it to them.

May the Farce be with you!

I seem to remember reading in Wind's of Fate that Starblade's bondbird,
given to him by Falconsbane, was a crow.  I don't know what I did with
the books, so I'm not absolutely positive, but I think so.  And I
remember Darkwind mentioning that no one had had this particular type of
bondbird before.  Yet in Winds of Change p.296, it says:

"In fact, I remember one of the mages from my childhood who had a broken
winged crow that couldn't fly at all, and _walked_ all over the Vale."

So does anyone know the reason for this inconsistancy, or maybe I'm
misremembering the breed of Starwind's bondbird.

Also, I just want everyone to know of the act of sacrilege perpetrated
in my house;  my 14 year old sister was angry at me, and as an act of
revenge, she tossed Winds of Change into the bathroom sink, and turned
on the water!  We're talking major torture here.  And then, to top it
all off, she locked the door with me on the outside, and described,
moment-by-moment what was happening to my poor, poor book.  It was
complete, ultimate torture. . .Ancar couldn't do worse on his best day!
