Yesssss *heads over to read* I love your blog posts there. And also it is suddenly way more relevant to my life than I had ever realized, as you know, telophase Bob! XD

[telophase]

You're welcome! ;)

BTW, ILU for using Weis & Hickman's Time of the Twins as an example. (But yes, that's a great cover, and I love that art. You do you, dramallama Raistlin, you do you!)

[telophase]

:D I needed an artwork that had a WHOLE LOT of stuff happening but a clearly defined focal point, and that was a perfect example. :)

Raistlin was...surprisingly formative when it comes to wizards in my mind.

At least as formative is *sheepish* Kethry. She of the ridiculously "no homo" Tarma and Kethry duology by Mercedes Lackey.

But none of them were as formative as Polgara.

I...oh dear. /flees

I actually really love Tarma and Kethry despite the parts that haven't aged well. Like, I reread the first book of the duology about a year ago and was surprised at how much rape there was in it! I read that book in middle school!!! I had no idea!!!

I remember Raistlin and Polgara with great fondness. *g* You're not alone!

[telophase]

Yesss, Raistlin was the best part of those books for me. XD

Ok but now I need Rogue Single Dad to be a real book

[telophase]

Hopefully with a better cover! XD

Ditto.

OMG I was too focused on the elements to read the text, but now I agree XDDDD

[havocthecat]

WAIT WAIT, I missed that title, but yes.

As a recreational book cover maker, that was really fun and educational! :D
