I like Chris Evans' take on fantasy. He has been said to have crossed Tolkien and Bernard Cornwell. That is because his Iron Elves series includes elves, dwarves,and magic, yet is set in an environment ...
The World of Robert Jordan's The Wheel Of Time:
Sammael's scar was a livid grove that slanted across his otherwise attractive face, as if a red-hot poker had been dragged from hairline to jaw.In the ...

Errr.. whatever can make a Fade abandon his allegiance and join Fain can probably make the Fade sweat at least. The Fade can scare others ...
I'm not certain (I don't have the books with me), but I'm sure one of our resident guru's could assist us... I don't know if the wound on sammael happened during a regular practice before ...
Uno (get that, the one-eyed man) saw her twice during that section. He commented that it had to be the same woman. Ingtar thought he might be seeing things.
There's a lot of fiction that's clearly started out as "fan-fic" of some sort or other. Some of it hasn't got any further than that, and some of it shows very little sign of intelligent life - in one ...
Glad to see that others liked this one too! I thought Ms. Carriger did a lovely job balancing between supernatural, humorous and romantic elements of the story.
So far for naming places in my NaNo (aside from one or two I completely made up) I've actually used Wiki to look up ancient names for places and just go with that, no problems yet!
When Patrick Tilley lifted the name of the British disco band Shakatak for a character in The Amtrak Wars, I suspect he honestly thought no one would notice. After all, reading science fiction and listening ...
I missed your previous posting so this advice is a bit late but here goes. I used to play MTG as well, around the same time you did. I was pretty decent, played well at a few local tournaments (I finished ...
Hehe, yeah, I know what you mean. For the longest time I had assumed it was Lanfear as well, but I could never reconcile the HOW with what we knew about the One Power. So when I recently ...
Guys, I have no trouble deferring to WoG about such a thing. I was unaware of the quote from RJ that it was Fain's doing, and instead attributed it to Lanfear due to~
Thanks, Lou! I'm really happy to see Planet Stories get some recognition over here on my favorite sci-fi site for their retrieval of the classics. I highly recommend people check out Moore's work and ...
Thanks to Leigh and everyone onwards :)
Don't feel bad at all re: transport. First of all, you needed to go in the opposite direction. Secondly, I thought I was OK because the Blue ...

I've been thinking the mystery clue has something to do with the Tinkers. But that scene has always lurked in the back of my mind.
I hope it comes up at some point as it goes to ...

In TSR, a Myrddraal being held prisoner by Faindeithdeth agrees to a deal of some kind, and we haven't seen further evidence of this yet. Whatever ...
Hate to say it, but it's already out there, and it ain't even the quality Hustler variety.
