Have to agree with you, her books are excellent.

Haven't read 'The Liveship traders' yet. Hoping to get them on my birthday (big hint to hubby).

Speaking of Tom Foolery, that would be Tom Hanks in Punchline.

Lord, you'll not regret it. The Liveship Traders was possibly the best trilogy I've ever read. I'm not quite sure what it was that grabbed me, but it really struck a chord deep down.

I love love LOVE TLT!

Ah. Just what we need. More animosity and misunderstanding between this site and the OB:

It turns out that some people think that there is too much tomfoolery on this board, when compared with other highly respected fan run sites.
Comments?

*grin*

Some of the responses reflect the misconceptions and feelings of board regulars from both sites. I think the comments made in this thread were a joke and should not be taken out of context or made to be something other than how they were intended.

I still do not understand why people can't realize we are all BROWNCOATS!

Can't see theres any animosity. Some people were concerned Golden Fool's comments would be taken out of context and could result in animosity, reassurance was given that it was just a joke. End of story.

Trouble with writing is that different people read the same words in different ways. Can lead to all kinds of misunderstandings. I always read my stuff through twenty times to try and make sure it can't be misintepreted and still I some times fail (damn buffy.nu to that very special hell)

I would advise anyone going into this thread to read it all the way through.

ecgordon wins the cigar! Handpicked from former President Clinton's personal stash, it's been lovingly kept in a humidor (that's a big box) and is only slightly used. In the (paraphrased) words of Sigmund F., "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar; but, it can still get you in deep trouble."

Need a light? Just remember: Don't inhale...

Nicotinely,

Zounds!

I read the thread over at OB, and jeez at least one guy is really peeved at GoldenFool. Well, I ain't...

Don't nobody need to start no shooting war, unless it's "Shirts vs. Skins" with water cannons in a suitable bog. Seriously(?), it's just a little pigtail-pulling and shin-kicking.

That would be your Porsche Boxter, right? You know if you treat it right -- keepin' it properly lubed and such, not just waxed -- you can put a million miles on it and still get a nice tight ride, just like the day it rolled off the assembly line...

I don't own one, I just drive 'em.
