Ive only read the first two pages of notes. Good thoughts and comments as always. Mine are still rattling about and will require more thought. Hello to old friends. :-) I don't think four books were needed to tell this story, and remember worrying when SRD mentioned in the GD that he wanted the seco...

Well, Rigel, thank you so much for orienting me. I hadn't the slightest idea that this was a forum for discussing SRDs works, and obviously, specifically not the Thomas Covenant books, and certainly not The Last Chronicles. :roll: Yes, I know where I am. I read the first series about 30 years ago. I...

I HOPE this isn't all happening in Linden's memories. A story about something that may or may not be real just doesn't interest me. And I don't think it interests SRD anymore, either. The First Chronicles were obviously of the doubting sort, but he's said in the GI that the question of reality shoul...

While I am a supporter of Linden, and authored the poll (wherever it is) that demonstrated THOOLAHs insignificance, I found myself more irritated with her in FR than before. My main criticism of FR is twofold, though one feeds the other: 1) It's too damn long; and 2) We spend far, far too much time ...

Treacherous villains, the lot of 'em! :luke: OBAMA/*CLINTON Cool8! This is off topic, but I've been saying the same thing. The two aren't that far apart on their core beliefs, and while Bill has been making a bit of an ass out of himself lately, I think that ticket would beat any Republican ticket....

I always thought it looked more Sauruman-ish, but yeah, he made a similar comment at the Bellevue, WA reading. Actually, he won't say in public who it is supposed to be because he considers it a spoiler - even acknowledging that it (theoretically) represents an actual character is more than he real...

The assorted balrog-slaying aside, I think it would have been curtains for old Gandalf if that cock hadn't crowed. I don't think that the slaying of the Balrog can be set aside so easily. Gandalf said in The Lord of the Rings that - and I'm paraphrasing - black is always mightier than white. (Unfor...

i saw officers not handling the situation at all. a show of force was needed. then use chemical agents/taser. seems they jumped into the taser real quick. We agree - the officers were not handling the situation at all, and most certainly not well. Frankly, it was a disaster. After more time to thin...

Sheffield Village Police Taser incident youtube.com/watch?v=KWaCD6jIH5Q drunk people are soooo much fun. I'm not sure how I feel about this. Three officers, two male, can't handle one sloppy drunk female (who doesn't resemble Xena, btw)? The way she fell, if the chair hadn't been there, she could h...

I saw an early draft, which was very close to the final. I pointed out all the previous descriptions of Wildwood, and suggested that the artist at least add some purple flowers or something. And heels on the Staff (which I believe is the Staff of Law - not the Forestal's staff). But that decision i...

Although I love (and obviously misspronounce) Puissance in the Chronicles. I found it overused in FR...It's great in the narraatiion...but it semed that everyone also used it in their speach. That's what I didn't like. It's like if Linden ws REALLY from the Real World; she'd have to get someone to ...

I wish Fatal Revenant would get scanned, either by Amazon or Google. I don't have the memory that some of you guys have - but I don't recall SRD ever using the word magick with a K in FR. Perhaps I missed that, or, if it was there, more likely forgot it. My brain has extreme limitations on what it w...
