SRD likes Linden best!
Paul: Sorry, a flippant question...if you had to choose one of your characters to be stranded on a desert island with, who would it be (and why)? And would it make a difference if the stranding were temporary (let's say a week) versus permanent (which in your case is a very long time given your reluctance to shuffle of this mortal coil).


Be serious. How could I pick anyone who wasn't a total babe? <grin> So that pretty much restricts me to Linden Avery, Terisa Morgan, Morn Hyland, and, well, Koina Hannish (who would probably bring a whole lot less luggage to the island than the others would).

Permanent, temporary, what's the difference? We're all supposed to live in the "now" anyway. But I suspect that Linden might bring more variety to the experience. That would be a plus over the long haul.

Must be a guy thing... I sure wouldn't want to be stranded on an island with someone who whines twice as much as I do.

I was hoping someone would pick up on this while I was busy over in the Runes forum.

Linden is officially a babe! This is as official as it gets.

Not only that, but we also know that SRD's wife isn't the jealous type ... or doesn't read the GI ...

Would that be Morn with, or without, her zone implant? :dance:

SRD already *has* the ultimate zone implant for Morn: he created her. :lol:

WF, I believe SRD's not married, but has a longtime girlfriend -- who clearly, I agree, is not the jealous type. :)

(Well, that's annoying. I see a grammar error in my post and rush in to fix it immediately -- only to be told by the spambot that I can't post again so soon. Arrgh!)

Pfft. He's wrong. He clearly doesn't know what Linden's like. He's probably never read the books. ;)

My choice of the women he named would be Koina. I actually liked her.

Morn=Linden. So not Morn.

Never read Mordant's Need, so Terisa is a complete stranger. No.

Good point! 8)

Interesting that he didn't mention Myste and Elega. Did SRD forget about them? I thought they were both hotties... :grinlove:

Linden doesn't in any way resemble a babe. Chalk it up to SRD and dirt coming to have more in common all the time.

Now Elena is a babe! And she's not exactly frigid, eh? She'd be my choice!!

Terisa Morgan was written specifically as a hot babe, I thought.
I mean, *SUPER* hot.

But please, it's obvious why he'd pick Linden.
"stranded on a desert island"
I would pick a doctor too!
If the question was "choose between Linden and medical supplies" he'd pick medical supplies.
We all would.

"But I suspect that Linden might bring more variety to the experience" = Crazy people are more interesting.
He'd be facsinated to see if he could predict when she'd have a crying breakdown or see if he could cause a few dozen.
SRD is a sadistic bastard, remember who thought up the Sunbane.

Sure. Linden. But if the question was "choose between Elena and medical supplies"... We're assuming nobody would have their powers on this island, or they'd probably be able to figure a way off the island. Which puts a whole new slant on the question. So, without powers, Elena could cure me of the more important "problems" I'm going to have.

Of course he chose Linden,or might I say 'Little Stephen' chose Linden.What an ideal situation,if you could only put up with her constant emotional breakdowns/low self esteem,all it would take to get a roll in the sand with her is a cuddle or kind word.I mean,heck the gal will even do child raping lepers.

Should someone start a topic on who is the most attractive woman out of all the books...? ;)

Oh, wait, I think it's been done before... *Assumes thinking stance*
