Come on in and tell us more about yourself. IMPORTANT: For new members, please read I also found Kevins Watch by searching for Stephen Donaldson info. I was hooked the first time. Now I can't wait for time to get back each day. The late nights when I can't sleep are great for playing the games. Great time passer.
Everyone here is so considerate and friendly. I am blessed to have found you all. I was pleasantly surprised to see how like-minded we all are in many things. But we mostly agree on the most important thing.......Stephen Donaldson's books.
I would just like to pose this question.....
Why should the third Chronicles be the last? As long as Stephen lives, the Chronicles should go on, don't you think? Ok. I will just be grateful for what we are getting.
I am most happy to meet all of you, and I look forward to ongoing friendships made here at Kevins Watch. Thank you, Jay (is it?) for creating it and for all your work that is obviously from the heart. Be Blessed all.
How did you find Kevin's Watch?

I completely forgot how I found the watch. I think I was searching in google for "The Best Message Board Ever."

And what does "apostrophelessness" mean?

I'm almost done The Power That Preserves for the second or third time in my life - it's been 6 or 10 years since I last read the series. This time it's in preparation for the third chronicles. I also re-read the Gap Series this year.
Today while procrastinating at work I had a sudden exigency to Google "Drool Rockworm", and after a maniacal conflagration of clicking through a chiaroscuro of links I resumed tard here. The main other board I visit is ehMac.ca which is a Canadian Macintosh user forum. I was immediately impressed by the number of posts at Kevin's Watch and so I decided to register right away.

I found this board through the SRD web site. I was looking at the GI and someone asked if he had seen the Stephen McKinney thread. He directed everyone to check it out. So I popped over and was captivated from the first words I read.
Everyone here is so very nice and friendly, I was comfortable enough to register. (I tend to be a lurker...to shy to throw in my 2 cents).
K, im done now....

How did I find KW? Hmm, well, if you go back to page one of this thread, I'm Jay's mysterious high school friend who was a slacker and left him to run the Watch when I skedaddled off to college.

Just arrived
I was recommending the series on another board and decided to paste a link and this place came up.
I have all of the books in first edition. I've read them all 3 times and am going through for the fourth not counting the latest which I read a while back. When the series first came out, you could always tell who was reading them because they were the people who had obviously not slept in a long time.
Covenant's life and mine are a sort of parallel even though I don't have leprosy. I do have an unusual handicap that can be just as dangerous and entirely invisible.
Another sort of anti hero that precedes TC is Gully Foyle in The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester. My handle comes from that story as I have parallels with that too.
I've always wished a series of movies could be made of the TC Chronicles. Not holding my breath though as the challenge would exceed LOTR by a substantial margin.
