You confuse PLOT with THOUGHT

The best way to avoid dealing with PLOT is to write for television.

Himelhoch @ 13 & Majikjon @ 14:

I should think that, if one were to slay a god, only Lady Teldra would know the precise way to do so in terms of ettiquette and ceremony, and would, therefore, be the most effective partner/weapon in slaying said god.

Not if it was appropriate.

It is odd to think of Lady Teldra as part of a weapon called God Slayer. Wouldn’t slaying a god be the height of rudeness?

I nearly think that Chreotha will be about how Vlad had to use a subterfuge to set up an assassination victim, as hinted in Jhegaala.

I didn’t cry for Tazendra because she died exactly the way she wanted. I am still not sure what to make of Lady Teldra’s ah, death, ascension, whatever.

You would have to be pretty hard hearted not to be moved by Tazendra’s death. I assume that she and Aerich are scheduled for reincarnation at some point by the demon goddess.

Considering her sense of humor and inscrutable ways, for all we know they came back as Loiosh and Rocza. Considering who Vlad is supposed to be a reincarnation of, I’d say anything is possible.

Cal @ 9: Thanks, Cal. Drop me an email, and I’m sure we can set up some time for me to sign the book. My email address can be found on dream cafe web site.

And, hey, I cried too.

Hello Steve. You and I have emailed before over the years. I have moved from Michigan to Texas recently and would like to visit you in College Station and possibly get your autograph on my copy of Jhegaala. First, are you willing? Second, if you are willing, how do I find you? By the way, I’m a capitalist pig, conservative republican, born again christian, and I love your work. (I’m strangely getting more liberal as I get older… hmmm… I wonder what that means?) I’m pretty cheap, but still can’t help from running out and paying $25.00 bucks for your new releases when they appear at my local bookstore. I’m the guy who told you I cried when Tazendra died… sniff. I was so embarassed by my tears, but that was a pretty cool moment, as I’ve never been moved to tears by the death of a fictional character before. Good work indeed, my friend.
