Make one.
catnik 7:38pm
tada
robinrahne 7:38pm
Ha! Look who's here.
shadylady 7:38pm
Not really.
robinrahne 7:38pm
Shoo! 😉
shadylady 7:41pm
*hopes for directions to ER site....*
catnik 7:41pm
I invited you

shadylady 7:41pm
Thanks!
robinrahne 7:42pm
I'm trying to establish the scene... brain sluggish.
catnik 7:46pm
I could do somewhere else?
robinrahne 7:48pm
No, you got it, it's great! Sorry, internet slowed down for me for a moment.
catnik 7:48pm
ahhhh
catnik 7:48pm
eyes FCC
robinrahne 7:48pm
Right? Evil.
catnik 7:49pm
hissss
shadylady 7:53pm
Heheheheheeeee.... Kerowyn probably has a new definition of 'ride for fun' these days.
catnik 7:53pm
oof
catnik 7:54pm
I don't forgive you doing that to her!
catnik 7:54pm
She's named after a particular favorite book character of mine
shadylady 7:54pm
*one-eyed gloating*
robinrahne 7:56pm
LOL Oh, good... I prefer Tarma and Kethry myself, but yes.
catnik 7:57pm
Oh, T&K were my gateway drug to Valdemar
catnik 7:57pm
still my favorites
robinrahne 8:02pm
I started with Vanyel.
robinrahne 8:03pm
I haven't read those in AGES. I'm afraid Lackey lost my interest after Lark and the Wren, I think. It started feeling like formula.
catnik 8:03pm
Let's see... T&K, then Elspeth, then Kero... so seriously out of order to start, but plenty of Need
catnik 8:04pm
Some of her steampunky fairy tales are good
catnik 8:04pm
But any of her valdemar stuff after she broke her world has been crap
catnik 8:04pm
the owl books are crap
catnik 8:04pm
the collegium books are MEGACRAP and I HATE THEM and threw it across the room in a fit of rage
catnik 8:05pm
like, all of her mary sue inclinations in one gawdawful dickensian orphan-slave who is secretly the bestest herald mage ever
catnik 8:06pm
...
catnik 8:06pm
sorry
robinrahne 8:06pm
LOL! No, that's great! Good heavens! 🙂
robinrahne 8:07pm
Afraid I adore Vanyel. I mean, yeah, total MarySue, but I loved the story.
catnik 8:07pm
I adore Van, yes.
catnik 8:07pm
Though... I'm oddly disappointed in the last book?
catnik 8:07pm
Like, I feel like she rushed Van/Stef
robinrahne 8:08pm
I can see what you mean. nod nod
catnik 8:08pm
Leareth was not significant enough
catnik 8:08pm
But man oh days, do I love the first book
catnik 8:08pm
...i.. uh.. might be guilty of some Mercedes-ing with my own characters
catnik 8:09pm
Oh, and I love Talia. Loooooooooooove.
catnik 8:09pm
I think I discovered her around 13, which means nostalgia is high
robinrahne 8:11pm
Oh, Lackey-stuff is formative to my characters, too.
catnik 8:12pm
She is my bubblegum book source
catnik 8:12pm
formulaic, but enjoyable. I do refuse to spend more than 6 bucks on one of hers
robinrahne 8:13pm
Barbara Hambly is my other one. She does resort to formula and MarySue-ing...but I LOVE the Darwath books.
catnik 8:14pm
haven't read those
