Correct, CH. You actually asked about this in this thread about a decade ago. As a child, Angus was arrested--for stealing food, a fact that has since incorporated itself fully into his dislike for the establishment--and sent to a reform school. His digression here is revealing--"Angus had no w...

Sorry, no.

Normally, I used the question I answer as inspiration for what I ask next. Since stories of Koina and of Lane are well-mined territory, going in a different direction.

In his youth, Angus did a stint in a reform school. Who was his roommate and what became of this person?

Koina
(not sure I have that spelled right; books not at hand. The successor to the ambitious Protocol Director who got blown up by a kazi when he followed Warden's orders, rather than the Dragon's. Probably the least conflicted female character SRD ever wrote...other than Alishah Hardaway!)

That's a shame. You were a prolific contributor...enough so that I don't have the moxie (pun intended) to track down what caused you to leave...but I expect that it was the Decline and Fall fora, the parallel groups to what are the GCES (nee Tank) here. You asked to join in all amity. Was it your po...

Yes. Among other occasions, Mhoram utters that phrase when his Ranyhyn answers his call during the battle at Revelstone: "Hail, Drinny, proud Ranyhyn! Oh, bravely done! Worthy son of a worthy mother. Tail of the Sky, Mane of the World, I am" - a clench of emotion caught his throat, and he ...

Welcome to the Watch!
Have been enjoying your TIW commentary posted on Discord; glad you've joined here as well.

(Not really surprising Sarge chimed in. He's a huge Watership Down fan; even named his new pups for characters from the book.)

Such are the changes

Pups preferable

That is within the target ring, StevieG! Over to you... They [the guttergangs] did not suddenly discover patriotism, of course. They did not put aside their clenched internecine attack on all social structures outside their own for the sake of humanity's greater good. Nevertheless they were human be...

Sorry CH, but that isn't the answer.

Oddly enough, the inspiration for this question came (not entirely directly) from you.

About guttergangs... In one sense, their roots were old as crime. "The poor you have with you always," said Christ, not inaptly. However, he might have gone on to observe that poverty had no meaning in the absence of wealth: where all have nothing, all are equal--and none poor. From the mo...

Humiliation and Control

The Gap is an awesome exploration how each character's internal dynamics affect all their interactions. SRD is always good at this, but Gap (and Great God's War) are particularly good examples of his mastery of this approach to plot development.

Do you have prospects for a transition? You said "fired", but it sounds more like "laid off", which is only marginally better... What do you do for a living? Are you open to relocation or tied to your current geography? To be clear (and not generate a false impression), I don't h...

I spotted a Dalmatian.
No, you didn't. It was already that way! So was the leopard!

Someone with a more credible story?

You are asking a Cornishman to forego Yorkies with his holiday roast??

peter, what say you?
(other than Thread Drift!)

Compared to the Christmas songbook when we were each young, there have been a lot of new songs. Some few better than others; possibly enduring among the classics. Some lot eminently forgettable, or that one might fervently desire to forget. Take care in what is wished for... (Surely someone can do b...

No, the bunny is not to blame for such political events.

In the GCES ("Global Council for Earth and Space", our thinly-veiled-SRD-themed politics subforum), opinions vary as to what actually happened, but rabbits are never mentioned in that regard.
