[DesertRose]

[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:08:38 PM EST] Join KK has joined this channel.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:08:41 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Yes, agreed, Bee
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:08:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Hi KK!
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:08:48 PM EST] <fenix> hi KK
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:08:48 PM EST] <The_Bee> HiKK
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:08:48 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi KK!
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:08:49 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Hi KK
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:08:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Hello KK, we were just talking about you. Surprise surprise. 🙂
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:08:53 PM EST] <KK> Hello, all. Sorry I'm late.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:08:54 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> We're just discussing your body count, KK. 😉
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:08:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> LOL
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:09:02 PM EST] <DesertRose> I was just about to text you to see if you were coming, LOL.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:09:08 PM EST] <The_Bee> not that late
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:09:22 PM EST] <DesertRose> I think KK can control her shock that we were talking about her.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:09:29 PM EST] <KK> Body count is high, I know. And of important peope, too.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:09:40 PM EST] <DesertRose> Yes. We were wailing about Rhys.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:09:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Poor Rhys sniff
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:09:53 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I'm taking a break from killing off Maryse again, KK. She's not very happy with me. 😄
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:09:58 PM EST] <KK> One of the most important.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:10:02 PM EST] <DesertRose> Nezz, why did you think Rhys had only another week to live if he hadn't fallen?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:10:41 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> His death was goning to be in 918. He died on Christmas day of 918.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:10:48 PM EST] <DesertRose> Oh, I see. Meta.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:10:55 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> or was it 917? I forget...
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:11:00 PM EST] <The_Bee> How do you know that?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:11:00 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hello, everyone
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:11:08 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi shiral
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:11:09 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi Shiral.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:11:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:11:10 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:11:18 PM EST] <DesertRose> I think it was 917, because I think Evaine died in 918.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:11:29 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Did you ever finish collecting all the stories you need for your anthology, KK? If not, I'm about three scenes from the end of one that should actually be short enough, for once, instead of being one of my usual mule-chokers.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:11:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Bee, the genealogy was listed in the back of the first trilogy.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:11:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I would think that Maryse would be relieved you've left off killing her, Evie!
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:11:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> If not her, then Duncan would be!
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:12:04 PM EST] <KK> Have hardly done any story collecting, so you're safe, Evie.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:12:19 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Evie, next you should write an AU story of what if she hadn't died.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:12:19 PM EST] <DesertRose> Does your publisher still want to go ahead with the anthology?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:12:29 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Well, I'm putting her through the wringer first, Shiral.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:12:29 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> snaps fingers and puts out tea and cookies on the chatroom table
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:12:30 PM EST] <KK> I assume so.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:12:35 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> What length is usable. I though you might like the Knighting of Liam.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:12:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Everyone!
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:12:41 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi Jerusha.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:12:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> heya Jerusha
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:12:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Then she'll be all wrinkly!
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:12:49 PM EST] <The_Bee> I haven't worked on mine for a while.  except the brief one I sent.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:13:14 PM EST] <DesertRose> DFK, do you have the _Deryni Tales_ anthology?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:13:31 PM EST] <KK> I've used some pretty long ones, so don't worry about length.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:13:40 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:13:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:13:47 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi DFK
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:13:51 PM EST] <DesertRose> That's the earlier anthology of fanfic KK compiled and published. I'd use those stories as a guideline.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:13:54 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Yes I do
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:13:55 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:14:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I am not entirely sure the world wants to know what would have happened if Maryse hadn't died, since if Duncan hadn't become a priest, then things would have ended up very differently. Or if he had disavowed his marriage and his son and gone ahead with it, that would have still had some unintended impact.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:14:26 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Shiral has two great stories
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:14:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Interesting story, though
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:14:43 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Well yes, I guess you can't mess too much with the established timeline, Evie
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:14:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> KK, most of my fanfic is novel length, so yeah, you kinda want me to worry about length unless you mean your anthology to be as thick as an old-style New York City phone book. 😂
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:14:57 PM EST] <The_Bee> Jastaelf had one of the best fanfics.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:15:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> That's why it would have to be an AU. 🙂 But it was just a thought.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:15:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Still miss Jasta's stories
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:15:16 PM EST] <KK> No novels, please.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:15:29 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I do too. My Maryse story is dedicated to Sharon.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:15:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Which one was that, Bee?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:15:33 PM EST] <KK> Yeah, she did good work.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:15:34 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Wish I could read something by Jastaelf
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:16:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Wish I'd met her. I think she passed a few months before I started hanging out in the castle.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:16:14 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> DFK, if you read the anthology published a few decades ago, you've read one of her works.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:16:19 PM EST] <DesertRose> She was amazing, Jasta.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:16:29 PM EST] <The_Bee> ften featuring Nigel and Meraude.  I forget the title.  They were in the Zine.Soeveral,
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:16:41 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> I'll go back and look.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:16:43 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> The garden story?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:16:52 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Yes, the garden story
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:16:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> She wrote the story about Duncan and Maryse that was included in that anthology, IIRC.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:17:00 PM EST] <The_Bee> with garden gloves
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:17:12 PM EST] <DesertRose> One of my favorite memories of her is from a Facebook post. She was talking about her cats. "Fenway, if you annoy Thrandy while he's using the box, don't be surprised when he beats your butt. And don't come crying to me."
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:17:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> That was a good one
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:17:25 PM EST] <DesertRose> (Paraphrase, but that's the general idea.)
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:17:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> And the story when horror of horrors, Nigel and Kelson BOTH forget the Feast of St. Valentine
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:18:12 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Ooooh, so busted!
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:18:22 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> By the time I joined the forum, Jasta wasn't coming to chat very often, but I'm glad I got a chance to meet her a few times here, as well as on FB.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:18:26 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> That one sounds great
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:18:29 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hades has no fury...
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:18:38 PM EST] <The_Bee> When did Saint Valentine exist in real life?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:18:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> It was in one of the later issues of DATZ
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:19:46 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> That one started as an email I wrote to Sharon as Nigel asking her advice for how to make it up to Meraude
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:20:17 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> 3rd century Roman saint- Valentine that is
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:20:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I have never read any of the fanzines. I keep hoping someone will scan the collection someday, because I'm hesitant to buy paper copies because I'm trying desperately to declutter, not add more paper to my collection. But I have a great scanner if someone else has a collection they are willing to lend, and if KK will allow them to be scanned.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:20:57 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Bynw is working on that
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:20:59 PM EST] <DesertRose> Bynw has scanned a few and uploaded them to the forum.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:21:02 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Oh good!
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:21:05 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> The actual St. Valentine would probably be shocked at the greeting card/flowers/chocolates industry surrounding his feast day
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:21:14 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Got the first three issues, doesn't he?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:21:18 PM EST] <The_Bee> I've liked to imagine how Connal's life might have been different if only Nigel had sent him to Carthmoor, where he could have seen his own inheritance, instead of constantly seeing what he couldn't have.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:21:20 PM EST] <KK> I believe Bynw now has a complete set. We should arrange for him to scan them and make them available for a small fee.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:21:24 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Bynw is scanning them and posting here on the forum
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:21:39 PM EST] <DesertRose> First three are here: https://www.rhemuthcastle.com/index.php?board=74.0
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:21:52 PM EST] <KK> Ah, then it's already in train. Good!
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:22:03 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> He works on it as he has time
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:22:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Ooh, goody! I'll have to check that out as soon as I'm done with Maryse's story.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:22:39 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I was hoping to finish tonight, but now I'm thinking it will be a few more days.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:23:00 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> We await it eagerly, Evie
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:23:20 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> I seem to have gotten myself involved in Torenth with Liam, Stanisha and Ronal
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:23:49 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Oh, that will be good. I like Liam
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:24:00 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Eirian and Payne also part of it
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:24:08 PM EST] <fenix> i don't have a full set only have up to 15 or so.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:24:19 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I have the rest
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:24:21 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> How many zines were there in all?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:24:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I've even done two shorts. One in September, one this month
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:24:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> 21?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:24:39 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> And they are terrific
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:24:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Yeah...that sounds about right, Jerusha
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:25:00 PM EST] <fenix> 20 something
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:25:50 PM EST] <The_Bee> ThT MANY??!!
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:25:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Yep
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:26:12 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Yes. The earliest issues are from the 1980's, I think
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:26:28 PM EST] <fenix> i'll get back to scanning after i move
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:26:35 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Oooh, you're moving?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:26:42 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> I loved Maidens of Mayhem along with prequels. I still go back and reread them
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:26:47 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> That's around the same time I was writing Pern fanfic, though I'd have written Deryni fanfic too if I'd known there was a zine for it.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:26:54 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> You are moving, fenix?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:27:02 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Thank you, DFK
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:27:20 PM EST] <fenix> yes i'm moving when my current lease is up
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:27:22 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> DFK, I really like those, too. They're why I found the forum.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:27:27 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> You're moning again?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:28:17 PM EST] <The_Bee> Reind me:  Did Nigel and Meraude have any daughters after Eirean?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:28:27 PM EST] <fenix> yes. moving in with my girlfriend
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:28:34 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I literally was making those up as I went along, so I'm glad MoM came together as a cohesive story, since that was a pretty big chance to take, posting chapters as they were written and aiming for once a day, or whatever insane schedule it was! What was I thinking?! 😅
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:29:05 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> I believe there was one more. And there is still Amelia, granddaughter
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:29:13 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Bee, I think the Codex also mentions a daughter named Gloriana born in 1130, but I'm missing my copy, so I"m not sure.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:29:28 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Yes, I think there was a second daughter whose name I don't remember
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:29:51 PM EST] <The_Bee> sounds like something Rob Reginald might have come up with.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:29:54 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Oh, Gloriana, yes that was it
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:30:03 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> I think Gloriana is right. Quite a name to live up to
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:30:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Gloriana was also Queen Elizabeth I's nickname
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:30:24 PM EST] <The_Bee> The Faerie Queen
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:30:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Yes
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:31:02 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Though also allegorically understood to be a nod to Elizabeth
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:31:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> KK, do you make any money off the Codex, or does it all pretty much go to the REginald estate? Just wondering because it would be neat to make a Deryni wiki.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:32:34 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> A wiki would be a lot more practical in this modern internet age. You can look up other fandom wikis like "Harry Potter wiki" or "Star Trek wiki" to see some examples of what a wiki is.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:32:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> But basically, like 'Wikipedia for Deryni'
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:33:02 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Exactly!
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:33:15 PM EST] <KK> I think Codex is pretty much oop, though I did get a share of royalties. But when I approached Rob's widow about doing an expanded edition, she said no, so I'm not sure what the status is right now.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:33:39 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> oop?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:33:46 PM EST] <DesertRose> Out of print, would be my guess.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:33:47 PM EST] <KK> I'd think we could do a Deryni wiki.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:33:54 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Oh out of print
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:34:09 PM EST] <DesertRose> Might not be a bad idea to check with Rob's widow/estate, just to keep us out of legal trouble.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:34:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> It's a fair bit of work to put one together, but the beauty of doing one would be that it could be the work of a lot of people, not just one or two, since others could contribute to it, pending approval from KK and/or a small trusted set of editors.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:34:55 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Sounds like a great idea
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:34:59 PM EST] <DesertRose> But that would be a cool thing to have. *I* will not be taking point on that project because I have too much else going on, but if someone else wants to take point and organize it, assuming our legal tushies are covered, go for it.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:35:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I don't know enough to take point, but I would be willing to assist
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:35:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Since all of the details would come from KK's work, if the Codex wasn't simply copied verbatim, I think a wiki could be done without danger of copyright infringement re: the Codex text
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:36:04 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Nezz, I love the pic of Aliset and Alister
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:36:22 PM EST] <DesertRose> I'd be willing to assist, to write and edit entries, but I don't have the bandwidth right now to be in charge of it.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:36:23 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Oh, thank you DFK. She took me so long to get right. 🙂
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:36:28 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> tugged at my heart-strings, Nezz
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:36:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Yes! You did my game character proud. 😄
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:36:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> 😄
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:36:48 PM EST] <DesertRose> It's a great picture.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:37:03 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> I loved your idea of having them both
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:37:03 PM EST] <DesertRose> Evie, remind me, was Alister Aliset's twin brother or were they close in age but not twins?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:37:05 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Just gone one more now that I need to do.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:37:17 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> twins
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:37:18 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> They were twins
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:37:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Which one, Nezz?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:37:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> What they said. 😄
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:37:42 PM EST] <DesertRose> I couldn't remember. I knew they were close in age and looked enough alike for Aliset to pretend to be Alister.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:37:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> My mind just blanked his name. Bunny-boy
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:37:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Columcil?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:38:01 PM EST] <DesertRose> Columcil.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:38:02 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Lord Peacock?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:38:05 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Columcil?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:38:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> She used a bit of Deryni magic to pull off that disguise. It wasn't all due to their resemblance, but yeah, that would have helped.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:38:24 PM EST] <DesertRose> Revanne is going to kill you for calling her character "Bunny-boy." ROFL
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:38:24 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> He was bunny boy
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:38:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Maybe she'll repent of killing me if I do a good job on her character.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:38:53 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> BUNNY-BOY?! 🤣
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:39:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Having a hard time thinking of Columcil as "bunny-boy"
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:39:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Evie sits cackling in her corner
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:39:31 PM EST] <DesertRose> The only reason it connected in my head was St. Melangell and the hares.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:39:36 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> For St Melangel to whom he was much attached
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:39:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> But he likes the rabbits, right? the wild hares?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:39:52 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Absolutely
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:39:55 PM EST] <DesertRose> Yes, but still. Bunny-boy?!
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:40:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> When they are not killer coneys
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:40:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> I had a brain freeze and couldn't remember his name.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:40:12 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Hare Man?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:40:13 PM EST] * DesertRose continues chuckling, and frankly cannot wait for Revanne to read the chat.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:40:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Killer coneys just set me off again
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:40:29 PM EST] <DesertRose> "Run away, run away!"
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:40:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> "And now, the saga of Bunny Boy and the Killer Coneys!"
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:40:51 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> LOL
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:40:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> That sounds like a bad '80s band
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:40:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Coney the Barbarian
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:41:04 PM EST] <The_Bee> Like the rabbit in Monty Python and the Search fir the Choly Grail?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:41:12 PM EST] <DesertRose> A punk band.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:41:24 PM EST] <DesertRose> And bad at their instruments even by punk standards.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:41:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> A third-rate punk band
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:41:37 PM EST] <KK> I can see I have a lot of catch-up reading to do.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:41:42 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> LOL!
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:41:54 PM EST] <DesertRose> The drummer is the only one who can manage even a half-a$$ (excuse the language) job of playing the instrument.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:42:05 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Have you seen our fanfic section, KK? It's massive. Ma-hoo-sive.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:42:19 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> When you have time, check out thr fanfic. Lots of good stuff there
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:42:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Three years and nine months of writing
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:42:38 PM EST] <DesertRose> You can skip my section, because you already have my story. Unless you want to read the comments.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:42:52 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Comments are often a lot of fun. 🙂
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:43:11 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Although they can take off in unexpected directions
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:43:18 PM EST] <DesertRose> Sometimes, yup.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:43:26 PM EST] <The_Bee> Wait a minute! Ahre you talking about an actual band named  killer Coneys?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:43:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Newest stories or chapters tend most often to be at the top of everyone's section, though if you're doing a deep dive on an author, it might help to start at the bottom of the last page and work upwards.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:43:41 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> No, Bee. Just saying it would be a funny band name.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:43:41 PM EST] <DesertRose> No, Bee. We're just being silly.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:43:53 PM EST] <The_Bee> Whew!
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:44:04 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> I think she made that up tho with punk bands yo neer know
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:44:24 PM EST] <DesertRose> Rainbow Unicorn Anarchy, anyone?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:44:37 PM EST] * DesertRose whistles innocently while looking in Evie's direction.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:44:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> LOL! Yeah, Rainbow Unicorn Anarchy was my daughter's brainchild that I ended up borrowing.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:44:57 PM EST] <The_Bee> Dragon Philisophers
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:45:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Mine was Kitten Box Therapy
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:45:16 PM EST] <DesertRose> I was about to say yours was something about kittens.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:45:22 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> For fake band names?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:45:26 PM EST] <DesertRose> Mhm.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:45:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Yes
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:45:49 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> My friend and I picked two words at random from the dictionary and ended up with the Chrome Jockstraps.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:45:55 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> LOL!
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:46:00 PM EST] <DesertRose> But Evie used Rainbow Unicorn Anarchy in _Balance of Power_ as a rock band of whom Prince Kelric and Morgan Haldane had been fans.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:46:06 PM EST] <DesertRose> ROFL!
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:46:14 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Better as a band than an actual garment!
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:46:26 PM EST] <DesertRose> Especially in cold weather.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:46:39 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Oooooooooo!!!!!!
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:46:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Duncan is making male chastity belt jokes in my head.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:46:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> He'll be doing some penance for them too, I think!
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:47:04 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Not a bad idea
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:47:11 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Duncan seems to do a lot of penance... 😉
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:47:15 PM EST] <KK> Chrome Jockstraps does have a je ne sais quoi quality to it.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:47:18 PM EST] <DesertRose> Wearing a chrome jockstrap would be punishment enough for a great many sins.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:47:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> In winter, wearing one would be quite the penance....
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:47:36 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Worse than a hair shirt
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:47:50 PM EST] <KK> I seem to remember a long-ago chat in which we got to talking about Alaric wearing a posing pouch.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:47:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Who knows, perhaps Duncan has a flair for naughty humor under his priestly exterior!
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:48:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> SA-NORK!
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:48:14 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2>
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:48:29 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I do remember a discussion, with Jasta, concerning what men would or wouldn't wear while swimming.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:48:34 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Duncan was a Border lad. I'm fairly sure at least some small degree of earthy humor comes with the territory. As evidenced by his joke with Kelson about Conall's mistress.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:49:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> But hopefully not in the presence of his Archbishop
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:49:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> What else is Duncan hiding under that priestly attire? 😉
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:49:20 PM EST] <DesertRose> Also, while clergy generally retain a certain reserve in speech, they have heard everything and then some, at least if they've served as parish priests and not in a monastery/convent.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:49:35 PM EST] <DesertRose> Braies that are too tight.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:49:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> But you can't hang around with Alaric Morgan all your life and not have SOMETHING rub off...
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:49:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> In period, they'd usually swim nude, though if ladies were anywhere nearby, I can see them keeping their braies on too. Although despite being modest, they tended to be less prudish about nudity in the Middle Ages.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:49:58 PM EST] Quit The_Bee (The_Bee@owirc-1ui.jjd.61.73.IP) has left this server (Quit: Connection closed).
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:50:11 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Oops
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:50:15 PM EST] <DesertRose> And depending on if they had a change of braies handy, they might opt not to get them wet.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:50:19 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Uh oh
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:50:27 PM EST] Join The_Bee (The_Bee@owirc-1ui.jjd.61.73.IP) has joined this channel.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:50:31 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hopefully Bee just clicked the wrong thing and will BRB.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:50:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> She's back
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:50:34 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> wb bee
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:50:35 PM EST] <DesertRose> And there she is.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:50:37 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Rehi Bee
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:50:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Rehi
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:50:46 PM EST] <DesertRose> Rehi Bee.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:50:54 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Dmitri has arrived to send you all his greetings and his fur
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:50:55 PM EST] <The_Bee> Thanks. I was having trouble with my screen.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:51:19 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Evie it is great to have you back in chat and writing again
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:51:22 PM EST] <DesertRose> I remember Evie telling me I was very evil for putting Duncan in a too-short cassock and too-small braies when Alaric rescued him and took him to Valoret, in "Miracles."
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:51:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Greetings to Master Dmitri, although he can keep the tribute of fur, since I've got plenty here without it.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:51:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> pets for Dmitri
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:52:04 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> The too small braes sounded uncomfortable
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:52:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I don't think it will make it all the way to you, Evie. Although cat fur does get to the darndest places
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:52:18 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Is Miracles posted somewhere, DR?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:52:27 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Hi and pets to Dmitri
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:52:34 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> DFK, I'm glad to be here again. I've told my folks it would be easier if I can visit them on Saturdays instead for a while, unless there's some reason we need to switch back occasionally.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:52:49 PM EST] <DesertRose> On the forum.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:53:03 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I must have missed it. I will look for it
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:53:07 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> In the Fanfic section
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:53:11 PM EST] <DesertRose> Chapter 1: https://www.rhemuthcastle.com/index.php?topic=1442.0
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:53:27 PM EST] <DesertRose> I just didn't feel like typing out "The Miracle of St. Jorian the Martyr" because that's a long freaking title.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:53:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Thank you
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:54:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> DR and I were tag-teaming for a while, working on stories that make Revanne cry. 😉
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:54:12 PM EST] <DesertRose> Drat it. The title is "The MiracleS of St. Jorian the Martyr," Miracles plural.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:54:14 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> heh heh
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:54:32 PM EST] <DesertRose> Well, and Jorian came to bug me because bugging Revanne wasn't getting him anywhere.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:54:55 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I read that, but had forgotten! I will reread it.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:54:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> To be fair, Revanne has written her fair share of stories to make me think onions are being chopped nearby
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:55:05 PM EST] <DesertRose> She's good at that, for sure.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:55:16 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> I do enjoy Revanne's stories. 🙂
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:55:22 PM EST] <DesertRose> But she's also good at humor, especially the wacky crossover stuff.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:55:48 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> some of these characters can really bug yo when they want their story told
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:56:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Maryse says if I want to stop telling her story and move on to someone else.... 😉
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:56:35 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Quiet, Maryse. We want to hear it
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:56:40 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Tell herit needs to be finished
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:56:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Poor li'l Maryse...
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:57:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Tell her she's going to be dead whether the story gets told or not. This way at least she gets air time.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:57:19 PM EST] <DesertRose> Yup. I've had one from another fandom bugging me left right and center lately.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:57:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Yeah, that's why I'm writing it, actually. I got curious about the girl Duncan loved so much, she nearly derailed his vocation.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:58:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Not to mention how they managed to keep Dhugal's parentage a secret for so long. And how he ended up getting the cloak clasp, what they told him at the time, etc.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:58:47 PM EST] <The_Bee> Will we ever get to meet Dhugal's "twin aunt?"
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:58:54 PM EST] <DesertRose> But in this fandom, I might go see if I can get the 1366 story going again.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:59:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Yes. Actually, she was in another one of my stories as a minor character in one chapter, but she's born in this one.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [7:59:44 PM EST] <DesertRose> It's not like my copy of Codex isn't full of notes for "A Time of Unrest," LOL.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:00:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Caldreana makes a brief appearance in one of the chapters towards the end of "Maidens of Mayhem."
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:00:32 PM EST] <The_Bee> born around the same time as Dhugal, obviously.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:00:49 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Yes. Codex has her born on 1 January and Dhugal on 3 January.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:00:56 PM EST] <KK> You should see the bristly pieces of paper and post-it notes festooning my working copies of the books.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:01:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I'll bet it would be fun to poke around in one of them.....
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:01:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Or more.....
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:01:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> That's what my Codex looks like. I wish I could find my copy. 😭
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:02:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Richelle and Brecon give me a poke now and then
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:02:13 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> How did you lose it?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:02:43 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I've been using the search feature on the Kindle versions to find every mention of Maryse in TKJ and TBH, and also to look up various bits from TKD, since my story takes place just a year after those events, I think. Or at least pretty close to that time period
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:02:59 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> If I knew how I lost my copy, I'd have some idea of where it is.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:03:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> It's supposed to live on a certain shelf next to my RPG sourcebook, which is still there, but the Codex isn't there with it.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:03:42 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Interesting. Looks like someone created a Deryni wiki at Fandom.com but hasn't done much with it.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:03:47 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Oh dear!
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:03:52 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> If you are like my DD1 it is in a box somewhere hoping to be discovered. Can one scry for a book?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:03:54 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> So I probably looked up something, didn't put it back where it belongs, and misplaced it in the meantime.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:04:08 PM EST] <DesertRose> Yup, my Codex has pieces of paper stuck in the pages and Post-It flags sticking out all over the place.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:04:23 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> We can have a "Find my iPhone," but alas, not a "Find my Codex" app, yet
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:04:42 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> https://deryni.fandom.com/wiki/Deryni_Wiki
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:04:47 PM EST] <The_Bee> My Codex is around somewhere.  it keeps turning up.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:05:15 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Who is doing it, or started it?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:05:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Dunno that yet
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:05:36 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> My scanner will save books to a searchable PDF format, so if I ever find it and if it's allowed to scan it for personal use, I might need to do that to find certain references easier to find. (Though with the format, they're usually easy enough to find anyway.)
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:05:55 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> And we don't have to use Fandom.com, but I thought that was was free and easy (supposedly)
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:06:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I still find it easier to leaf through paper copy
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:06:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Maybe they got overwhelmed, or didn't have time to look through it
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:07:05 PM EST] <KK> Should try to find out who started it and what its status is.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:07:11 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> The Admin is ""Hnybprsphn." maybe I'll text them and see if they're still doing it.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:07:32 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Needs vowels
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:07:34 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I find it easier to do a keyword search in a Kindle copy, see all of the pages with that word on it pop up, and then scroll down the list to see which one is the reference that I"m looking for (or see which several references most directly apply to what I need).
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:07:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Looks like they started it in February 2019
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:07:55 PM EST] <DesertRose> That's one of my favorite things about e-books.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:08:13 PM EST] <KK> A searchable Codex would be great. We didn't yet have the technology when Rob compiled it.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:08:18 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Wow, that's surprisingly recent! I wonder if they are aware of our Forum?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:09:15 PM EST] <KK> Well, we go waaaaay back. Started in the 90's, or so, as I recall. I do remember doing chat from Ireland.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:09:47 PM EST] <KK> But that could have been in the 00's.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:09:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> If it wouldn't be a copyright violation, if I find my Codex, I can try to make a searchable PDF copy. Even if it can't be made available for public use, I could send you a copy, or you might be able to make it available for limited use if that doesn't cause legal problems with Rob's estate.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:10:00 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I think that would have been the very late 1990's
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:10:32 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> But anyhow, it definitely started a while ago
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:10:47 PM EST] <The_Bee> I just did a search for"Hnybprsphn".  To my astonishment, I actually gotsomething.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:10:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I know I remember there was a Deryni channel on Usenet, but for some reason I didn't really follow it at the time.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:11:19 PM EST] <The_Bee> Is that wherewe had an earlier forum?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:11:37 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Was that Airsid. I did find that once and it had some stories on it.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:11:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> alt.fan.deryni or something like that
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:11:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> There was a forum on Usenet
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:12:17 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> And Airsid was created by one of the people active in the forum
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:12:23 PM EST] <KK> Bynw would know, but I have a feeling he's at his girlfriend's right now.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:12:57 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I was very deep into Star Wars fandom at the time, and think I just didn't have enough time and energy to devote to two separate fandoms, but I checked out the Usenet group a time or two
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:13:51 PM EST] <KK> So much has changed in fandom of late. Covid certainly hasn't helped. Don't know when or if it will evern be safe to go to conventions the way we used to do.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:13:55 PM EST] <DesertRose> alt.books.deryni I think was the Usenet group.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:13:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Usenet was pretty much how I discovered online Deryni fandom back in the late 1990s
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:14:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> It's where I met both Susan and Rob Reginald
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:14:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Yes, that was it
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:14:33 PM EST] <The_Bee> IIRC someone named Kirstie used to post on usenet about Deryni genetics.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:14:34 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Meeting another Deryni-lover in Second Life, which resulted in me writing Anamchara, is what brought me to the Forum, since it seemed silly to spend so much time writing a novella just for one person to read. 😄
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:15:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I have a local friend who I'm not in touch with that much anymore, but she was a geneticist and also a Deryni fan, and I have tried to lure her to the forum, but she's never taken the bait.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:16:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Is anyone familar with Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License and how it works?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:16:19 PM EST] <The_Bee> Not I
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:16:23 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> She has had cats named Morgan and Alaric over the years. Guess her favorite character.... 😄
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:16:48 PM EST] <DesertRose> Went ahead and created a Fandom account so I can help edit the Wiki that already exists. Why reinvent the wheel?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:16:52 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hmmm, not that's a hard one....
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:17:03 PM EST] <DesertRose> Whoever wrote most of the Wiki that's already there is a big Alaric fan for sure.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:17:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> DR, I was thinking the same thing, although not sure if we want to put a lot of work into a wiki where someone unknown is the admin.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:17:28 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> now, versus not
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:18:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> good heavens, Alaric's page certainly is long
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:19:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> They don't do th at anymore
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:19:29 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Well, drat. I guess it was an experiment that ended up failing.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:19:44 PM EST] <KK> If it's no longer active, perhaps one of you could take over as admin.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:19:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> I know, it sounded intriguing
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:19:47 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I would think that would lead to some big legal headaches
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:19:57 PM EST] <DesertRose> Well, if we can get in touch with the admin, maybe they'd be interested in having help, and if they've abandoned it, we may be able to take over.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:20:03 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> The Amazon Fanfic, not the Wiki
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:20:23 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I'd be keen to take over Amazon too, if I can have Bezos salary. 😉
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:20:47 PM EST] <The_Bee> LOL!  Me Too
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:21:12 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Eh, I doubt that's an option! 😏
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:21:36 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Bur what an option!
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:21:46 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Mmmmmm, billions of dollars to play with...
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:21:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Rented fingers
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:22:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> I just figured that was "Brr," since you're in Canada
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:22:08 PM EST] <The_Bee> Would it include a space jaunt?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:22:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Brr would work too
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:24:05 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Very quiet all of a sudden
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:24:26 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Maryse says, "Quick, distract Evie!"
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:24:37 PM EST] * fenix is watching the playoffs
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:24:46 PM EST] <The_Bee> sn't "Bee" the name of a town in Lilian Jackson Braun's Cat Who novels?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:24:57 PM EST] <The_Bee> Nrr I meant
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:25:03 PM EST] <The_Bee> BRR!
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:25:13 PM EST] <KK> I think maybe you guys do some sleuthing in the next week and see what you can find out about the existing sites, and then we can figure out what we want to do next.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:25:19 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> I think it is BRR
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:25:26 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Will do
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:25:48 PM EST] <The_Bee> so there's Fandom.com ,wil=ki Deryni site and...?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:26:02 PM EST] <The_Bee> wiki
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:26:07 PM EST] <KK> I would love to see a searchable data base for the Codex/wiki material, now that the technology exists to support it.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:26:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> It would certainly help if we can just add to a site that already exists. And might add a member to our forum, if the wiki creator isn't aware we exist.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:26:16 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> https://deryni.fandom.com/wiki/Deryni_Wiki
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:27:04 PM EST] <KK> Sounds like a plan. On that note, I think I'm going to adjourn to my kitchen to scare up a bite of supper, it being nearly 8:30p and time for same.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:27:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> I'll ask the fandom folks if it's possible to add another admin if a wiki seems to have been abandoned.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:27:19 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Have a yummy dinner and a great night, KK.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:27:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> My scanner supposedly will create a searchable PDF, though I"ve not tested to see how searchable the resulting PDF actually is.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:27:35 PM EST] <KK> See you all next week. In the meantime, stay safe and warm and healthy and happy!
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:27:41 PM EST] <The_Bee> Enjoy your meal, KK. BTW, any news about the cats?
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:27:42 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> That link takes me just to the title page and then nothing happens
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:27:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Bye, KK. Have a good week
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:27:49 PM EST] <fenix> have a good week KK
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:27:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> But I recently scanned some interlibrary loan books for DH's research, so I can check with those.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:28:00 PM EST] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:28:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Jerusha, click on the Books ddropdown and that will take you someplace.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:28:14 PM EST] <The_Bee> Have agood week, KK!
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:28:17 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Nighters, KK
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:28:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Evie> Goodnight, KK!
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:28:37 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Nite KK
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:28:46 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz>
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:29:36 PM EST] <KK> Re cats, the pair mentioned last week are not immediately available, but in the meantime my vet has put me in touch with a local cat rescue that has many cats available for adoption. Folks who run it are out iof town until the end of this week, but I'll call and catch them to make a visit. There's a grey girl called Isabella who sounds interesting.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:29:41 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I don't get a books drop down. Let me try your new link
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:29:52 PM EST] <KK> Nighters, all.
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:29:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Night, KK
[Sunday, January 23, 2022] [8:29:58 PM EST] Quit KK has left this server (Quit: https://mibbit.com Online IRC Client).
