Yeah.. I've read further now... That girl is definitely a slut.
Shame not the slut! The entire fiction about "ideal" women being passionless and uninterested in carnal matters is a holdover from Victorian repression. Surely men are never judged by such restrictive standards in our world...and none of that applies to the entirely different society SRD has created in these books.

If you set all those preconceptions aside and evaluate Saddith in the context her milieu, is not your view is more charitable...if not once again frankly interested?
Focus on where you are going and why.
Never lose awareness of how far down "down" is...but don't obsess about it.

Well, I have to concede that she's going with what she knows, and believes in making her dreams come true. She might be making a mistake thinking the way she's doing it is the only way to go, though.

I think Myste's description makes her sound attractive, in an 'outdoorsy' sort of way ;)
This nearly nineteen-year-old post by Earthblood remains my favorite in the thread. It speaks my view very well.

Though probably, with my nick, I ought to be a Darsint fan.
...And this is my second-favorite post of this thread, due to the humorous self-awareness shown at post's end. :)

She was an upbeat, clever, and thoughtful member of the Watch, in my opinion. So, I've missed Myste, myself. Hope that doesn't sound redundant. ;)
