Hey Newbies, over here first Come on in and tell us more about yourself. IMPORTANT: For new members, please read "New Members Only" BEFORE registering.
I've met Stephen R. Donaldson if that's who you mean by SRD but I don't really consider him a watcher.
Heh...yea...really more of "The Watched," isn't he?
[which...if one were him...could get a little awkward/eerie...after a while...depending, I suppose, on who the watcher was...and what lists s/he was on...]
[spoiler]Sig-man, Libtard, Stupid piece of shit. change your text color to brown. Mr. Reliable, bullshit-slinging liarFucker-user.[/spoiler] the difference between evidence and sources: whether they come from the horse's mouth or a horse's ass. "Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation." the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.
RE that, vraith... lol, I saw an article about Tolkien a few weeks back, and... wish I could give you the wryly humorous quote, but it described how annoying he found the phenomenon of "becoming a legend in his own time," and having people ring his doorbell at odd hours of the night!
"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor
"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."
-Elisabeth Elliot, Preface, "A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael"

i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

Av, I suspect it would be cheaper for us to bring you to America for the 2014 Fest than for all of us Yanks to head to your neck of the woods. Not that it wouldn't be cool to visit Africa...

Yes, problem there is I'd have to go to the US. Who the hell knows if they'd even let me in? You all on the other hand, wouldn't have any probs getting in here.
Ahem. While it was a meeting of two Watchers and that is always a good thing, I believe it was ali herself who defined the bar which a mini-fest must achieve. Three Watchers is the minimum...and they ought not be related or members of a common household.
