@Dragon-Snapper wait, how did this thread show up again? People couldn’t find it… this is weird…
But, yes. I have a secret list… *grins*

@Northerner that is weird. Okay. I’ll post my first post first…

Okay guys.
@Hope gave me a book with three of G.K. Chesterton’s novels in it as an early birthday present, and though I have only read one of them so far it completely blew my mind.
It was The Ball and the Cross.

1. Lathen: A Volandum healer and follower of the Prince. His EiL is that it is man’s relationship with the Prince that defines his worth, not a name or power or blood or anything else. He helps tend Ethaniel toward the end of the book, as Ethaniel working on consolidating his own recent revelation that any kind of name is meaningless without the…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Gair IS NOT a minor character. Don’t you dare cut his role in any way.

I’m going to go with Jagger in Fidelyon. He’s the… well, the side-kick, I guess (don’t tell him I said that; he’d not forgive me).

@Northerner I have no idea where my first post went. Here. Have it again.

@Aratrea quite honestly it’s more long-winded-ness than anything else. ;P I’m working on it.

Whoops @Kina-Lamb, missed ya there! That’s great; thank you. 😀

@R-J-Wordsmith thanks for being constant with these; they’re so awesome!
Here, have a new topic… ink. 😀

Wow, pizza and pancakes. Yum. 😀

Between sundry interruptions I managed to somehow pound out 526, which I guess is pretty good. Thanks for writing with me guys. 🙂

@Jane-Maree ha! I was not, alas, required as an essential part of the picture… merely to keep part of a background steady. 😛

Sorry guys; got called away on short notice to serve as a photography prop. I’m back now.

@Kina-Lamb welcome aboard. 😀
