thank you dear, and being the anal little thinker and responder (and just general forum-guy) i am, I want to eat the WHOLE thread before I respond any further than this. I'm up to page 5, and so far it's got quite a bit more nourishment than the two PB&J's I've had today

-eh "egosearch" indeed - now I remember that's what it was called in the old version of my other forum (they were using this very software...)

geez, wish I could remember all the witty things I said the FIRST time I did this... I'm a Junior BA student in the creative writing program at FSU. I'm fascinated by SRD's work, and am interested in discussing them with other like-minded individuals. I am wary of (overextended)teenfandom ala Shatne...

big slabs of ice is a good visualization. D seems to mention them as hillocks that suddenly seem to rear up and move about. Apparently they have good "cloaking" skills, as even Linden doesn't seem to really see them until they start moving/attacking/giving chase. I don't see them as being ...

eh...okay.....

Vain, Darth - please disregard the PM's I sent about why in the HUMPH! my membership was revoked. Come to think of it, you'll get the message quicker if I send you more PMs *sigh*
