The most enduring image for me thus far is: " But the sun did not rise. By tentative increments, the east paled. Slowly a preternatural gloaming spread across the Sunbirth Sea until it diluted the dark over Hotash Slay and the Shattered Hills. In contrast, the stars overhead grew strangely dist...

There is a young Rant, Absolain The length of whose c_ck is insane When he lets go of fear What is that we hear? Screaming Hustin and Chatelaine!! ***************** Kemper Kasreyn of the Gyre Seldom felt the flame of desire but when he took stock of the length of Rant's c_ck his desire rose higher a...

I think it's a different version of a word that is in the dictionary. When deploying his verbiage (great subject line, BTW :D), Donsldson often seems add or remove prefixes and/or suffexes to create an unusual or uncommon version of a more familiar word. So demnify is the prefix-less version of ind...

Lord Foul is cautious, using it is very unsubtle - and dangerous, it could be not that it was guarded, but that he decided not to use it. Particularly since it can be questioned how much he could achieve with such a wish in those circumstances. Though the Elohim could guard it as well - but I think...

Where does this word appear? I just passed another passage in Elemesendene , page 107 of my hardback TOT: Chant bowed as if she had shown graciousness; but she could not shake the impression that he was laughing at her secretly. Then the two Elohim moved away. Walking as buoyantly as if they shared...

Thank you Ussusimiel. Why do you refer to the 'blue' books? Are those the middle books of the trilogies? Well, not so much that, and they do not leave me in a blue mood either. I have the original U.S. paperback version of TIW from Del Rey - a blue cover with an image of Mhoram beseeching the Forest...

I have been re-reading recently too, for the umpteenth time since I first read the Chron's in the 70's. Just finished TWL and started TOT. I find my impressions to have changed regarding some of the books... TPTP is a heartbreaker. Its just unrelenting... I dread re-reading it... I used to feel this...

Now in the 3rd Chrons they are all pretty much interchangable, as apart from Longwrath and Coldspray they serve the same purpose. I honestly don't even know how many of them there are anymore.. And I surmise that the reason we had as many as we did is so that TC, LA, Liand, Mahrtiir, Anele, Pahni a...

For those that may not be familiar with the web site Donaldson Ate My Dictionary (DAMD), here is the link: gdiproductions.net/srdamd/ I have 39 additional words to add to the DAMD, however the email address on the web site is no longer functional. If any of the moderators here know the owner of that...

Acknowledging this Celebration in Spring is condign!!

Let us all raise our sapid and soporific roborants in honor of our favorite author and raise our voices in a tintinnabulating cacophony to sing:

Happy Birthday SRD!!!

May the hebetude of your post-celebratory hangover not be immedicable!

Wayfriend wrote Its more important, in this morality play of a universe, to be true to yourself than to make the correct choice at every turn. Right on the money, especially in the conflicted world of 21st Century Earth. I also love this chapter. It redeems many of the risks of introducing time trav...

I am with WF in regards to I certainly like the second answer better. It's more in accord with the philosophy of "means of articulation" that Pitchwife describes. And it makes more sense with respect to Foul. Was Foul able to throw those massive bolts at the Arch of Time because Covenant w...

The Lurker of the Sarangrave is one of my favorites. The whole Sarangrave Flat concept is one of my favorites in all the literature I have read.

Ditto to the Unfettered. Each one we meet has a compelling uniqueness focused to a specific need.

Those who know me....

Has to be Amok.

Nom - Vain - Nom - Vain


"Nom"

Does no one else find it interesting that TC's bargain metastasized in Elena? With his second bargain TC attempts to get Elena to accept his responsibility for defeating LF and saving the Land - to get himself off the hook. Then, after he admits this to her she essentially accepts the terms of his b...

But why oh why would you start THIS thread in the part that only deals with the first 2 Chrons????? There are responses from 2002 in this thread...before ROTE was released. :P If I had to guess, RoTE would get the most votes for least favorite if Last Chrons are included. Funny thing though...RoTE ...

Serendipity need not equate to contrived. I see the conflict with the croyel -driven Arguleh as another opportunity created by Foul to test Covenant's restraint with the wild magic. Every threat to TC's friends represents an opportunity for the Arch of Time to be broken. This conflict also allows fo...

Some good humor here. Well done. For those that may not be aware and are looking for more TCTC humor, you really should visit the Naughty TCTC Limerick Thread kevinswatch.ihugny.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=6524&highlight=limerick or perhaps a soap opera is more to your liking... kevinswatch.ihugn...

Also, wasn't the mission to Seareach launched in part in response to learning of the Giant Raver? Korik's Mission leaves Revelstone prior to the arrival of Manethrall Rue and was triggered by the lengthy silence from Seareach combined with Mhoram's vision of their approaching doom. Of course, that ...
