I had a funny idea. By the end of the Last Chrons, Lord Foul has possessed Jeremiah in order to torment him and Linden. Then Jeremiah gets transported back to the real world ... and Foul with him. Foul is thereby sucked out of the world of the Land and spends the rest of his life in the body of an a...

I agree with Caamora's point that Liand has the hots for Pahni. More importantly, I think, I also agree with the point that he represents the land's everyman and future. SRD has said that he puts a lot of care into his character names; well, take the I out of Liand and what do you have? I'm sure tha...

Yeah - I see what you mean, SS. However, I always had the impression that Foul redirected the summoning, rather than created his own transportation magic.

Just had a thought about the fact that all the summonings end up on KW. Maybe at the first summoning, that particular bit of reality was kind of imprinted with the memory of the event (like a curve in space-time). Therefore, subsequent summonings naturally gravitate to that place.

Hi Just to let people know that Stephen Donaldson will be talking about Runes and at an event organised by the British Fantasy Society on Friday 12 November. There will also be a 'Stephen Donaldson themed raffle'. It'll be at a pub called the Deveraux - which is very close to the Old Bailey - from 6...

Just thought I'd mention that I met Lisa Tuttle (GRRM's friend and collaborator on Windhaven) at FantasyCon at the weekend. I asked her if she knew how George Martin was getting on with A Feast for Crows and she said that he'd joked, 'If I'm still writing it by the end of the year, will someone plea...

LOL!

Having got my first credit card this year, I recently put in my very first order on Amazon.co.uk - for RotE and Iain M Banks' The Algebraist. I guess I'll be reading it shortly after they deliver it to me (or after I pick it up from the Post Office depot - I can't see the postman squeezing it throug...

Perhaps he just doesn't understand why we anally retentive fanboys want to know everything about the Land's history down to what colour underpants the creator was wearing when he made the Land.

SRD is always saying in response to questions about the world of the Land that unless it directly impinges on the plot, then it doesn't have much of an answer. It seems obvious that the second creation myth didn't exist in SRD's mind until he wrote the second chronicles, and that it only came into e...

If I made it as a Lord, I'd want to be a kind of foreign minister for the Council, promoting trade, diplomatic and academic links with lands beyond the Land. That way we'd have a few friends to rely on (hopefully) the next time LF raises his ugly head. If I didn't make it as a Lord, then I'd get a c...

Not being Brittish, what is the British Fantasy Society? Is it pure for writers, or broader as in people who love fantasy? And have you put stories on the net somewhere to read? The BFS is for anyone who's into fantasy, Dilthey. Actually, it'd be more acurate to call it the British Horror and Fanta...

Hi. Another newbie finds himself perched on Kevin's Watch... My first experience reading SRD was (I think) Mordant's Need and/or The Real Story in the early nineties. It was the Gap series that made him my favourite author - I just love the intensity of it, the characters, the plot, the action, the ...

Hi. This is my first post here. Been reading this thread (when I should be writing) and finding it very interesting and entertaining. Whoever suggested Tom Selleck for Saltheart, yes, I can see that, even if no one else can! I had a couple of thoughts. If the First Chronicles were to be filmed, then...
