Message-ID: uM. hello peeps. 'fraid I'm kinda new to this mailing list thing n all...don't even know if I sent this to the right address. Hopefully some mountain yeti doesn't end up staring at this mail on whatever mailing list he's on. well...though i've never gotten on to Marion Zimmer yet...(s been anthony, pratchett, eddings n all so far), I do agree its a sad, sad thing for the world to lose a talented fantasy writer. -sigh- In peace. and...well...would someone be kind 'nuff to tell me whats with the space spoilers and all? Puzzled the hell outta me. In any event, I'd like to end this with the customary bitching about how bad my life is, how my sex life is nonexistent, how education is a form of governmental mind-control, and how i despise romance fiction.

I know I'm going to break a heart or two, but no fluff today. I know, I know, I'll make it up to you all! ;-P Morgana asked when the next Tannim/ Knights book will be out. I think "Tempest Fugit" will be the next book out, but I'm not sure when... S P O I L E R A L E R T Elizabeth Hoffman asked why "shaych" was used in Owlknight, when it hadn't been used in the first two. I haven't read the book yet, but I think that since the two cultures are merging so much, a bleeding over of the languages is going to happen. Isn't that what happened originally in Vanyel's time? I believe that "shay-a-chern" was just shortened to "shaych" back then, once the word started being used in Valdemar. It also might depend on who was using the word. Was it a Valdemarian, who would use it, or a Tayledras, who may not be as familiar with it? ===== ---<---<---<----+AT+- Li'nia Stormdancer -+AT+---->--->--->--- Stormdance k'T'more y Kuus & Tril, Peon to the Powers That Be, Devotee to the OoUH, (Hopeful)Goddess of All Things Possessed, Mindmate to Styx A'ska, Caretaker of the Arena of Discussion and Dissention __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I just had to share this with people who would understand and care... While at 1/2 Price Books, I stumbled upon a set of the LHM triology in paperback in BRAND NEW CONDITION. I mean, I think whoever got these never even opened them. Now, while I do have a 3-in-1 edition, how could I not get these at 1/2 price? How? Could you? ~sees all the shaking heads~ Good, I'm not just lacking in will power. Or maybe.. maybe I am, but that's a different story. *g* Now, I can agree with the various comments about how Van looks younger on each subsequent cover. He does sorta. *g* Oh, but the cover on Magic's Pawn? Oh, that's the exact expression I have in my mind that first time he wakes up with 'Fandes but still isn't quite with it yet. Makes me cry _every_ time. ~sniffle~ Thanks for listening.. ~shyly offers chocolate sheep shaped warm and soft brownies with powdered sugar on some, icing on others and some just plain... store bought of course so safe to eat!~ Sionen ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 3 Oct 1999 16:46:02 EDT From: Irawkk-+AT+-aol.com To: mercedes-lackey-+AT+-herald.co.uk Subject: Queen's Own, IRC, and OwlKnight Message-ID: <7bd25d9e.25291a8a-+AT+-aol.com> Heyla list-sibs! Just to address a topic: Spoiler for Owlknight: I considered the use of shaych instead of shay'a'chern to show the acculturation of the Valdemaran and Tayledras cultures. After all, during Van's time, shay'a'chern was almost used as a term, introduced only by Savil. Or, this use of shaych could have been Darian's thoughts (I dont know the place of the book you were describing), and this term would only be natural for him, since he grew up with the term shaych. End Spoiler: Alright, my question is: Does anyone know how to join the IRC chats of #valdemar and #k'valdemar? i visited an instructional site for this, but the links were out-of-date and couldnt be used. And a second one: Is there a membership fee (or fee of any kind) for joining Queen's Own online? (You can do that, right? It isnt a separate program?) And how to you join/ who do you contact?
