Heyla all!
    I'm not new, but I haven't been around for a while.  It's good to
be back.  If there are no objections, I'll take up my old usename,
Kay, and add to it.  Lady Kay Sylver, at your service.  <sweeps a
majestic bow, managing not to trip over her own two feet>
     The only Misty mention I can think of is to ask if anyone has
read 'Satanic, Versus.'  It's a short story about Di Tregarde and
Andre.  It was really very good, but way too short, considering that I
love her Di Tregarde novels so much.  It just wasn't enough.
      That's about all.  I'm going to go back to lurking.

::Hands a peppermint sheep to the fellow newbie:: Like I said, I start 
people with AOTQ and then have them read the rest of the series in the 
order Misty wrote them. I personally think it works out best.

**fluff**
Dahlia sniffs her soup untrustingly. "This doesn't have to many sheep in 
it, does it? I'm trying to cut back. Ah, what the hell." Digs in while 
trying to dodge flying snowballs.
**end fluff**

In LHM Vanyel does't know that Heralds are given a choice until after 
he's already dead. He tells Stefen so that he won't kill himself and so 
on and so forth. I believe all the heralds don't realize this fact 
because they're not all dead.
