Un-obernewtyn-relatedby CassyHas anyone seen Van Helsing? I haven't seen it, but I want to know if i should... Apparently it was no. 1 in the US. |
mostly bad but...by miskaive seen it...i thought it was good. but most ppl didnt. its very corney nad pathetic...not action or anythin like that. i thought it was hillarious! but still enjoed it. most ppl said hte acting didnt mesh and nothin flowed. that it was just a piece of sloppy hollywood crap (mind the language). but i like it! :S dont no wat that says about me, but oh well. i think arien said she liked it too...if u want to no more...read the reviews that people have dont on carmody online... |
Yeahby Cassyi might go see it. one of my friends saw it and she thought it was really good. Hugh Jackman looks okay, I guess. Yup, that's what I'll do. in fact, i'm gonna go see it right now! [Jumps up, trips over in a hurry to do so, and runs out the door] |
Curse my not living in the big city!!!by Kayt Sel LiantuyYa'll always talking about merges, and I was wondering... Any idea how many members live in Canberra and the surrounding region. I know there's another Canberran Wanderer (I know because I recruited her), and I think there's someone studying at ADFA. Has there ever been a Canberra Guildmerge? Can any of the Sydney people come here? I know this is a small town, so what do ya'll think the likelihood is of this working. Let me know what ya'll think... Kayt Sel Liantuy, the Nameless Wanderer, all alone in the Nation's Capital! |

Dylan Song in Darksongby SerenityHi guys! I havent posted in ages! Does anyone know what the "well known Dylan tune" that Ember plays while she is performing as Gola is? The answer would be much appreciated!!! Love Serenity :) |
hey - long post.by MinHi Serenity, OMG, thanks for opening THAT can of worms, I've been searching for ages on Bob Dylan sites to find something that matches the words, or even the rhythm of the song Ember sings in Darksong - I'm thinking since it was supposed to be about Bleyd's imprisonment that it was the "Hurricane" song that Dylan wrote about the injustice of Rubin Carter's imprisonment...but I can't make the words fit...maybe. Here's the last 4 lines of "Hurricane" But it won't be over till they clear his name And give him back the time he's done. Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been The champion of the world. And Ember's re-write: Someday a storming will come, Righteous and filled with anger, And the shadows that hide the truth, Will then be driven back. Does anyone actually know the tune? *feels shamed that she doesn't know it* It just has to fit that...that's all I could come up with. There are a couple more 'Earth' songs Ember sings too - an Irish ballad "described flashes of light in the midst of a storm, and told of weary sea folk sighing the lights of the home port, of a beast finding it's strayed calf" - ?? - "a light ballad...about a man who couldn't make his mind up between two sisters" - and it's not necessary to change the words in this one. NO idea about either of them... Isobelle, if you happen to read this one can you give us a hint? Luv, Min |
ahhh..by avraMmmm..... kiiiiiiinda fits. The last 2 lines fit quite well, but the first 2 don't so well.... I'm trying hard! |
Thanx Min!!!by SerenityThat might be it...thanks! Serenity :) |
excitementbyany news on when the next specific fan fiction comp is due to begin? what about a guild points tally update? cmon lets get some guild spirit up for lud's sake ;) |
Go Wanderers!!!by Kayt Sel LiantuyI'm filled with Guild Spirit!!! Have strong suspicions the recent success of the Ashlings will lead to a change in the score! The wondrous Wanderers might be bumped to second place! Nooooooooo!!! The Wanderers have stopped entering comps with such enthusiasm! I've been nagging them, and they'll come to regret the day they made me a ward, because all it did was make me nag more!!!!! BRING ON THE COMPETITIONS, I SAY!!! Luv Kayt Sel Liantuy, the Nameless Wanderer |
Go Ashlings!!!by MeganaYeah, me thinks that we be winning now! :) Who's in charge of updating the points tally, anyway? It's been the same for as long as I can remember! GO ASHLINGS!!!!!!!! :) :) |
I think...by Kayt Sel LiantuyI'm pretty sure Clare is in charge of the point tally. I could ask her. She's been really busy, though. KSL |
Actually..by ClareWe're all in charge of the points tally ;) I'll add the Moonfair and Specfanfic to the current totals as those are ready available but I'm not sure what's happening with other parts of the site. From recollection, the gap between the Wanderers and the Ashlings is certainly shrinking. Not much in it now, I'd say! Much Love, Clare The Lonely Wanderer |
I can't believe I forgot to mention this:by MinI got another letter from Isobelle yesterday! She is SUCH a nice person!! News on her books atm: - She's currently writing and nearly finished a standalone novel called 'Alyzon' (I think...), which will be about 550 pages. - Next project is the Sending - After that will be the third book for the Gateway Tril, 'The Firecat's Dream' Pretty cool!! She hopes to have the Firecat's Dream out in 2005, so if the Sending is before that, we might not have to wait all that long!!!! Luv, Min - still on a high!! |
!!!!!!!!!by StumbleineOh my god that's sooooooo good. I can't wait! :D |
Re: I can't believe I forgot to mention this:by RozHi, I've asked this before but always somehow don't find the answer: What's the mailing address for Isobelle? Do you send through the publishers, or does she have a PO box or something like that? (Not to bug Isobelle, but just to send a nice letter). Cheers, Roz. |
I can't believe you forgot to mention it!!!by Kayt Sel LiantuyOmigod!!! Cool, cool cool cool cool!!! *squeals* Luv KSL |

Yay! Yay! Yay!by MeganaThat be the best news I've had all day! :) :) :) *Is very excited now* Yay! Yay! Yay! And yes, definately a road trip for the launch! Yay! Yay! Yay! :) :) :) |
disappointedby RozActually I'm a little disheartened, because I thought Isobelle was already working on The Sending. I guess she hasn't started it yet. I'd love to go on this road trip as well, but I doubt it will be until later next year.... |
questionby BreeHow long ago did you write before you got a reply? I wrote to her in August last year, but now I've given up being excited about checking the mailbox =( though I suppose she does spend a lot of time abroad and I myself can think of dozens of things more interesting than replying to fan mail =/ Roz: She gave her mailing address in a post sometime in Feb/March 2003 if you want to look it up... she was replying to a message (by me - Eeeee!) so you can look for those names =/ |
umby MinShe musn't have gotten your letter. I only wrote mine about a month ago, Luv, Min |
Supanova pictures!by MinThis is mainly for the 3 Ms, but you're all welcome to go see what fun was had at Supanova last weekend.

*cries*by YvetteYou know what, a couple of days ago at school, I tried coming to all of the ober boards I frequent, and I couldn't because they had restricted them because of the word "weapons". *cries* I couldn't even get into the mystics area! *sobs* |
OMG!by miskathats so not cooL! *cries wit yvette* !!! how is teaching goin anyway?! |
Nasty!by MeganaThat is so not fair, and is taking the whole 'restricted sites' thing a bit far......Awe, poor Yvette! :( Yes, how is the teaching going? Are you having fun? |
greatby YvetteI am loving it, I wish I was there for more than a term. I am getting challenged, which is a good thing. Yay MGC! |
Hey, Min?by MeganaWhere be that image that you used on your shirt? I can't seem to find it anywhere. I thought that I might try my hand at making my own shirt for the next Sydney meet, and I really liked the image that you had. |
hey meganaby MinI'll email it to you tonight, I designed it myself in photoshop. Glad you liked it :D Cheers, Min |
Cool!by MeganaIts a very good design! I though it might have been in the multimedia gallery or something. But yeah, hopefully I can work out how to do the tranfers! |
it's on it's wayby MinHey, I'm emailing it now. The transfers were pretty easy, I got them from Big W for under $20...make sure you get the transfers for black t-shirts!! Cheers, Min |
Will do!by MeganaI can do that tomorrow when I'm at work. :) Hmmm, what time did you send it? Cos I haven't got it yet. |
damn doteasyby MinHey again, I've just checked it an it got bounced back to me. My stupid obernewtyn-theories.com email address has been screwing around for a little while. I'll resend it tonight, promise, from another email address! Cheers, Min |
Heheby MeganaThat's cool. I'm glad that I'm not the only one who has problems with there computer! |
Sydney meet final plansby SquarmiSo we're meeting at 11.30am on Saturday 22nd May near the Elizabeth St entrance/exit of St James Station. Is this ok with everyone?? And we'll use an Ober book as ID. Except I don't have one in Sydney because my sister stole them when I was home last so I'll be the weirdo hovering around the entrance there. ;) Also if anyone wants my mobile number to call me if they're lost or running late or whatever email me at Squarmi @ hotmail.com (minus the spaces) Plus Usyd, don't forget our meet on Thurs 13 May at 2pm near the Jacaranda Tree in Main Quad :) Squarmi :) |
Perfectly ok!by MeganaHehe, I wish I had have read this post first. I was just asking on the thread below if we had decided on a place yet, and it looks like we have! Anyway, I'll be there! *Crosses fingers and hopes that there will be no more problems with the trains.* Can you believe that Central station lost most of their trains on Sunday? It took me nearly 4 hours, 3 trains, and 2 buses just to get from Central to Dapto! It normaly only takes 1 and a half to 2 hours! Ok, now I'm just bitching.......I'll be there on the Saturday! :) |
yayby miskawell i must say that sux!!!!! but yes ill b there at both squarmi! :) :) :) ill email u my number too. just incase! :P hehehe...soudns great and im looking forward to it! |
I'll hopefully be thereby RozHi guys, I haven't visited the Obernewtyn site for a few weeks because I don't have internet access at home. Just writing a quick message to say I'll try my best to come along to the Sydney meet. You guys know that's the same weekend as the Sydney Writers' Festival? Check this out: www.swf.org.au See you at St James station, Roz. |
Re: I'll hopefully be thereby miskaoh no i/we didnt! thankx for bring that to our attention roz! hope to see u there! :) |
to the 3 M's - Sunday's rundown. long post.by MinHey Megana, Miska and Maria - had a great time in Sydney, thanks for coming into the city despite all the train chaos!! I so had an awesome time though, the entire weekend. My aunt and uncle took me to dinner at Bondi, Luna Park and the Bridge Bar!! Wow, I felt spoilt...I'm currently listening to the DBZ soundtrack you gave me Megana - thanks SO much, it's GREAT. I have to see these movies now. Vegeta's on it!! Horay!!!!! Here's an update on what you missed out on on the Sunday supanova, coz I know you're ALL wondering :P - BETTER COSTUMES. OMG. The host of the cosplay comp on Sunday was actually interesting too, lots better. There was a guy dressed as Hercule who was like 35 years old and looked and acted exactly like him. There was a couple of Pan's that suited the role really well. A massive Moogle, who couldn't see where he was going and kept running into everyone who gave me a hug. A whole heap of Klingons who ended up staging a war with the Star wars guys (the sith and the jedi that were there on Sat, and another) - v. funny. PLUS, a troop of Asians who were dressed as the Crazy 88 out of Kill Bill, who were walking around with another Asian girl dressed like Gogo who looked EXACTLY like Gogo, they were FABULOUS. I'll post you some photos as soon as I finish my film. SOMEONE dressed as Chloe out of Noir - thank GOD someone else has heard of that series!! - The kamehameha shootoff...Megana, you would have appreciated this. Imagine a huge group of people (5 at a time on stage) getting up and screaming 'KA-ME-HA-ME-HAAAAA!' at the top of their lungs, with your new friend Eric Vale judging...hehehe. A 2 year old one the junior division because he was adorable (which wasn't really fair...), and a girl won the 'adult' (not sure what to call it) section, because she was dressed as Bulma, blue wig and all. - Kareoke. All japanese songs. Felt like I'd stepped into another dimension. All singers were in costume and were taking it very seriously by the looks... - Me spending $200 on the Noir dvds...*blushes* luckily it was on credit, which isn't real money til I check my bank account...I spent my entire Labor Day holiday having a Noir marathon!! - You-know-who playing tagalong again. Damnit, should have dyed my hair. I think he got sick of me staring at the i-pod displays and not flinching at his un-funny jokes by about 1:30 and left me blissfully alone. Freaky though. I dont even know why he went to Supanova, he didn't seem to want to see anything. - Going to Sulu from Star Trek's talk - totally packed out by Trekkies asking probing and stereotypically geeky questions. But Sulu seemed to enjoy it. Very fun day, both days :D hope you guys had fun on Saturday, and Maria, I wish you had ditched your assignment and come along too, but oh well :P it was GREAT to talk to people face-to-face about the O-chron and everything. That's all :D !! Luv, Min |
Hehe, funny!by MeganaI so wish I could have gone on the sunday too! I'm so sitting at the computer laughing my head off! I'm just imagining all those people in costume.......hehe, moogle! I love those guys! Ahhh, funny, funny, funny! :) And Hercule! He's a crack up too! Hehe! *starts laughing again* Awe, the Kamehameha contest sounds like it would have been awesome, and very funny, to watch! You've so gotta post ALL the photos up! I'm so glad that you managed to ditch Kieren. He was seriously weird and annoying! Hehe, I picked up a stalker too, at central station! He just happened to be bitching about the trains to the same city rail guy I was, and going the same way I was, so he followed me! He seriously thought that I was 23 or something! He was scary/weird, but not as bad as Kieren was! I'm definately glad that he eventually went away and left you alone! And I'm so glad that you like the soundtracks! The movies are awesome too, although I personally prefer movie 4 - Lord Slug, to the other one. But meh, they're both good. And I finally got the final box of series 3 off layby, so I'm now spending my spare hour or so in the arvo re-watching the cell games. Fun, fun, fun. :) I had the best weekend ever! And to all the other Sydney people out there, please try to make it to the next meet later on this month! It'll be so much fun! And Miska, thanks again for letting me stay at your place sat night, and for driving me all around Sydney sun morning! Thank you so much! (I left the packet of tim tams in your fridge, so they're all yours! :) ) |
wish i wasnt at work!by miskayea i noticed megana! so ill bring then to the sydney meet! no fair if u cant enjoy them too!!!!!!anyway im glad u enjoyed ur self min! im glad u came down!!! and megana no problem - i enjoyed having u round! :) even tho i was a bit dull! ;) :P yes - min and maria it was fabulous too meet u both!!!! definately a blast talkin to ppl face to face!!!! so sydney ppl get off ur asses on the 22nd of may!!!!!!!!!!! OMG that sounds soooo cool min!!!! and funny! :) smiles all way round at my end when reading ur post!!!i liked the sound of the sar wars stuff best (only cos that is wat i no!:P )! ive decided i have to catch up and educate myself on anime and soon...i did start playing final fantasy again! :S (number 7 - i will get to x soon! promise!) so im gettin there!:p if only uni would stop for a week! ;) very glad u ditched him! keiren =very ver yvery wierd! a definate lost soul. but at least he did leave u alone in the end! :) did he even end up buring u that cd?! or was that another weirdo (we seemed to pick up lots! :P) ;)!? |
Heheby MeganaDefinately lots of weirdos! But hey, they made it interesting! And you weren't dull, Miska! I had a blast! I can't wait for the next meet! I'm gonna have to start hassling work soon to get the day off, although they'll probably roster me on anyway. Meh. And it was great to meet you too, Maria! I wish you could have stuck around longer, but it was still great to get to meet you! Anyway, I hope to see lots more Sydney people on the 22nd of May!........just had a thought - where exactly are we having the meet? Have we decided yet? I think either Hyde park again, or circular Quay would be good spots. Just a susgestion. |
lol - weirdosby MinHey Miska I don't remember you being dull at all!! Awww, I love Sydney, I keep wondering why I'm still living in Brisbane now, Syd just seems heaps nicer... Yeah, Kieren burned me a CD of - get this - the force.net fanfilms. Geek-central, but SO funny. But you're both right, he was very very scary, and totally lacking in personality that one...now I feel mean. Picking up weirdos seems to be a speciality, especially since you picked up one at Central Megana!? I think we Obernewtyn-ers are maybe too accepting? LOL, we sympathise with Misfits? I don't spose it helped that I was wearing a shirt that proclaimed 'I am a Misfit' either... Miska, I recommend to start with get into Dragonball Z. Very funny stuff :D HEY, I'd love to come up to the meet on 22nd May!! LOL. Brisbane, how about we have a meet? It's not all scary I promise! If you're parents won't let you, bring them with! Cheers, Min |
hehe, yeah!by MeganaMe thinks maybe we do sympathise with other misfits! But the guy I picked up at central at least had a personality. Kieren was as dull as a fence post! Lol! :) |
pmsl @ 'dull as a fence post' n/tby Minn/t |

:( :(byi know its not scary. but there's no way i'd be allowed, even with my parents. delwyn says hi. she agrees with me. :( delwyn-my brother might possibly take us, actually, probably not, ah well :( |
*excited* (un-ober related)by Elixayay the new harry potter trailer is out. it looks soooo good. can't wait to see it. i think ron and hermoine are going to get together. p.s. avra if you're around did u get my email? i cant seem to be able to send multimedia files through your email address. is there another way of doing it? ta. Elixa |
Ah..byYeah, I did get your email, though I'm guessing you mightn't have got my reply :) What sort of file are you trying to send, and how big is it? I think I do have a limit on the size of attachments that I can receive, but it should be sufficient to receive most types of multimedia. What is the error that you are getting when you try to send it to me? |
Elixa?!by MinIs that YOU? ie, the first ever Guildmistress of the Mystics from years and years ago?! Cheers, Min |
yes minby Elixatook u a while hun. how r u? ive still got ur postcard from london u know. |
hi thenby MinI don't usually come to this board anymore, mainly theories one. Are you coming back to the Mystics? ~Min |
Harry Potter & TPOAby EmeraldI know!!! I can't wait till it come out! Book three was my favourite so i'm hoping the movie will be good, and going by the trailers it looks pretty good. Have you read the books Elixa? Cheers Emerald |
It better be goodby Kayt Sel LiantuyI'm still annoyed about Gary Oldman!! GARY OLDMAN!!! He's a good actor, but I'm just not seeing him as Sirius Black. I'm stuck on his Dracula, and it horrifies me! *makes a short wish on Sirius' behalf* Nice Mr. Oldman!!! Be good and DO IT PROPERLY!!! Luv Kayt Sel Liantuy PS. Ron and Hermione will SO get together! |
I dunno...by CassyI want to see it, but at the same time I don't, coz the others have been so disappointing. I'm going to go see it anyway. |
yes!by Elixain english and french ;) |
cool!by Emeraldi wish i knew another language... Yeah i know what you mean about the first ones being a dissapointment - but i still like them and i think i will like this one too :) i get what i like to call "excitement fits" every time i see a trailer.. hehe Cheers Emerald |
I haven't seen the trailer yet. What's the word on Sirius? n/tby Kayt Sel Liantuyn/t, I say. n/t! |
whats n/t?by Elixa?? |
Sirius & n/t = No Text in this message..but there is in this 1by EmeraldWell... from the trailers i guess he looked ok - but all they really showed was him in Azkaban and on a crazy wanted sign... I hope he's good cause Sirius is one of my fav characters, as well as Lupin! Yay - tickets come on sale this thursday apparently - i'm gonna see it in Gold Class :)... YAY for vouchers! Cheers Emerald |
LUPIN!!!!!by Kayt Sel LiantuyLupin's the man!!! Anyone know who's playing him??? Go Lupin!!! KSL |
lupinby Justineis going to be played by david thewlis, who was the evil and very slimy king einon in dragonheart. but that movie was 8 years ago, so he could be considerably less slimy now and i did see it when i was ten or so perceptions of sliminess are thus changed. anyways... peace and love Justine |
ohhh......by EmeraldSo thats whose playing Lupin... I liked Dragonheart... did you ever see the second one with Frances from Malcom in the Middle in it? It was pretty corny... hehe Cheers Emerald |
shizzle nizzle razzleby Justinenah i didn't see the second one but i do remember liking the first one. sean connery really does have such a lovely voice. peace and love Justine |
YAY! *Grins*by AvAngel's Fever came out today! *Grins* Havn't been able 2 get my hands on it yet I thought it was still was a few days away... But hopefully 2morrow! But with it coming out I wonder if the sending will be out at the end of this year! *Sighs* Ow well. Its a new book!lol. |

Hey guys - surveyby TammyHey Guys for english this term we have to do a piece on the function and power of language. I chose to study fantasy and its effects on the people who read them. I was just wondering if you could help me by filling out this survey and sending it to me at smarshmellow_73@hotmail.com It would be really really helpful. Thanx! Interview questions • Why do you read fantasy? • What appeals to you about the fantasy genre? • Many fantasy books follow the same plot. Why do you still read these books even though you know basically what is going to happen? • What’s the difference between a good fantasy novel and a bad one? • What other genres do you read? • If you are reading a fantasy novel at the moment, what is the basic plot? • Who are your favourite authors? Why? • Do you re-read books or is once enough? Thanx guys! Luv Tammy |

Ahoy there Sydney!!by SquarmiWhen are we going to have this meet??? I know some people are meeting up this weekend but unfortunately I will be studying for the entirety of the weekend as I have 2 exams next week. YIPPEE!! So, a suggestion for the weekend of the 22/23 May sometime. Any other suggestions?? And Sydney Uni, I know this is well in advance but since we don't all get on the net everyday and we've all got exams and assignment coming out our ears, how does 2pm on Thurs 13 May sound?? near the tree in the main quad?? Squarmi :) P.S. If anyone is interested, there's a fun walk/run on Mothers Day called the Mother's Day Classic which raises money for breast cancer research and support groups. It's held in the Domain and it's a great family day out. It's held in other places too for those outside Sydney. For more info either email me (minus the spaces) Squarmi @ hotmail . com or go to www.mothersdayclassic.org Squarmi :) |
Sydney Meetby MeganaHey Squarmi! I'm good any time you can arrange a meet, as long as the trains are running properly. And as long as I can get out of work, which isn't too hard to do. So yeah, 22 or 23 sounds good. |
Re: Sydney Meetby miskayea that sounds grand!!! but chose the day so i can ask for it off of work now!!!! sat prob be best for me!!!!! :):):) but either day will do! :)and thurs 13th at 2pm (i think u said) under the tree sounds great too!!!!!!!!!! ill remember this time promise! :D:D:D:D as long as work doesnt get in the way...but ill tell u closer to that day! :) ill be fine! :) yay!!! meetin ppl! |
Yeahby MeganaThe saturday would be best for me too. I get paid more for sundays, so I usually try to work then. But yeah, saturday is good. :) |
Aww...by Kayt Sel LiantuyHave just discovered the major disadvantage to living in Canberra, No guildmerge!!! Mind you, there are three Canberrans in the Wanderer Guild alone. Mind you, I recruited one, so that probably doesn't say all that much. -KSL |
Saturdayby SquarmiShall we say we'll meet on Saturday May 22nd then?? Does morning or afternoon suit people better??? And where's easiest for everyone to get to?? Squarmi :) P.S. I've got a job interview tomorrow :) so I hope I'm not working that Saturday. :p |
ooohhhby Elixacan i come? Dunno what Im doing either day but let me know where and when and ill try and make it. Where is sydney does everyone live? Im in the hills district Elixa |
Sounds goodby MeganaI can get to anywhere that a train can. And morning would suit me best, cos I don't like catching the train home late in the afternoon. So if we meet up around 11-12ish, that would suit me just fine. Course you can come, Elixa! The more the merrier! :) As for locations, well, there's Circular Quay, or me Miska and Claire met up last time at Hyde park. Or there's the Domain too. Any other sugestions? As long as there's a train station nearby, it doesn't bother me either way. |
yes it does!by miskayea sat midday-ish is great for me!!!!!!!! hey elixa of course u can come! megana is from dapto and im from amnly...so we're all a bit all over the place...but i think where we met last time...museum station or st james station. on elisabeth street, near the rd entrance is a good spot. unless someone else has a better land mark! but am sat nd is a good date!!! cool with everyone?! is roz back yet?! |
Final plansby SquarmiSo we're meeting at 11.30am on Saturday 22nd May near the Elizabeth St entrance/exit of St James Station. Is this ok with everyone?? And we'll use an Ober book as ID. Except I don't have one in Sydney because my sister stole them when I was home last so I'll be the weirdo hovering around the entrance there. ;) Squarmi :) Plus I'll post this further up for those who can't be bothered to scroll down :) |
HELP!- how many books is she writing?by DiMiTyhey, ive read all 4 Obernewtyn books, and i havnt been able 2 find out if Isobelle Carmody is going to be writing any more in the series? because the last book dosn't seem to really end it?..... if anyone knows or can help please do, thanxz. |
Hi Dimityby Kayt Sel LiantuyYep. The last book DOESN'T end it. Originally, Ober-Chron was meant to be a trilogy. Now we're told it's a series of five. The fifth book is called the Sending, and we've had some slight hope it will come out at the end of this year, but more likely it'll be next year. Personally, I wonder how it can possibly be finished in one more book! Hope that helps you out, and nice to hear from you. -Kayt Sel Liantuy, the Nameless Wanderer |
owwwww thanxby DiMityowww thanks so much! yeah your right i dont see how she can even finish it on one more book?........she'll have a hard job of it, i wonder how thick this one will be? hahah my mum is already amaized at how thick the last book was. thanxs again |
Angel's Fever -Isobelle CarmodybyDoes anyone know anything about this one coming out May 2004?? |
nopeby MinNever heard of it *shrugs* - where did you get the info from?! ~Min |
Here be some information....by BuneaterRhiannon (and anyone else who's interested), <i>Angel Fever</i> is part of a series called the 'Quentaris Chronicles'. The books are written by different authors, but they're all based in a town/place called Quentaris. The book certainly is written by Isobelle and will be out soon. Have a look at the sites below if you're interested in reading more. Hope this helped!

groovy coolby YVetteis it out now? *is too lazy to cut and paste URLs* |
This be a meaningless titleby BuneaterYeah, sorry about that. I didn't realise Network54 had cut out formatted messaging. Is that something to do with that Gain rubbish? Anyway, back on topic, I don't think the book's out yet. It has that ever-so-frustrating 'Coming Soon' tag attached to it. We haven't had any booksellers in our library lately, but I think one's coming in tomorrow, so it might be in one of those lovely crates of books they bring. I'll be sure to let everyone know. |
CO Downtimebyhttp://www.carmody-online.com Carmody Online went down for a few hours yesterday due to a "failed database connecter".... pain in the backside... It was cured by a short, sharp smack by a blunt object. Sorry for the interuption... Jac. |
Hi everyonebyjust letting you know i've created a new forum at http://www.network54.com/Forum/288694 because the rushton/dameon debate on the theories forum was getting out of hand. its not just for that sort of debate, though, it can be anything. i dont expect everyone to move over there and post everyday the way we do here and on the theories forum, its just for when topics have so many replies that people who arent interested cant tell which posts they should read and which ones they dont want to. if that makes sense. Cya!! Brydie |
Yo all!!!by Kayt Sel LiantuyMan, there are a lot of Ober.net boards. I've been Wandering around lately. Two years I've been a member, and never seen half this stuff. Anyhoo... just a thought. Don't you think The Sending will have to be REALLY long. Each of the four books so far has been divided into thirds, right? The first third is the story getting started, the middle third is the meaty bit, and the final third is the wrap-up. I have a feeling the finding of the Signs will ALL have to take place in the Middle Third, while the Final Third could be devoted to the ENDING of the story, a meeting with the Destoryer, going to Sador and TLOTRQ. And if one sign is in TLOTRQ, and THEN Elf has to go to Sador, that will mean a journey over the sea, then another one back again, and if the theory about it all ending in TLOTRQ is correct, then another one back AGAIN... Dude!!! This is getting to be a Looooooooooooong book!!! -Kayt Sel Liantuy, the Nameless Wanderer |
yeahby MinBut do you think maybe Elspeth could get some of the signs travelling the dreamtrails? Why else would she have needed to learn how to travel the ashlings if it wasn't vital to the Quest? ~Min |
Wellby MeganaShe needed to get the message from the doors off of the dreamtrails cos she burnt them, but I guess that learning to fly the dreamtrails will be important in the Sending. It could come in handy, you never know. But I guess that we'll just have to wait and see. Grrrr! I can't stand having to wait until next year! I wanna know now! :( |
Um...by AmberThis might sound dumb, but wat does TLOTRQ stand for? |
TLOTRQby Kayt Sel LiantuyHi Amber!!! TLOTRQ stands for The Land of the Red Queen See ya KSL |
Thanxby AmberThanx! |
This is funnyby JenniferIt was sooo funny, the other day... my friend had just finished reading the obernewtyn chronicles and then she was talking to me about it. This is what she said (in a perfectly serious voice) "You know what I think, Jennifer...? I think that maybe, just maybe, the beforetimers were from our time. You know, coz they sound a lot like us and everything?" I just looked at her and said, "Duh!" Ok, now it doesn't seem that funny... maybe you had to be there... |
