Excellent

I've recently been converted into a fan, of my own accord, and I must say, it's brilliant. Ms. Duane REALLY knows how to write and make it seem so damn REAL. No wonder the series has taken so long to be written!

But, yeah. This is yuor standard, "Hi, I'm here!" post.

Also, did anyone ever notice that Tinkerbell changed genders?

Who/what is Tinkerbell? I can't find an entry on the concordance, and don't remember everything.

[caiteydid.livejournal.com]

I think Tinkerbell is the psychopathic little dog down the street who keeps promising to kill anyone who gets near... her? yard. Or something like that. Anyway, yes, psychodog.

What gender IS Tinkerbell?

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

That's the one, alright: also known as Grarrhah.

Aaaand... I think female? *runs to check* Well, she's definitely female in Dilemma. Perhaps she changes gender in a later book?

[yukinoomoni.livejournal.com]

It was a girl in Dilemma. And then, suddenly, it became a boy in Holiday and stayed that way in At War.

I'm going to ASSUME it's male now, but that was confusing at first =3

*snerk* Well, with wizardry all things are possible, right?

[yukinoomoni.livejournal.com]

Lol. Well, there we go.

I'm actually really impressed with how well Ms Duane writes. The Tinkerbell thing was the ONLY thing I caught that was off.

But then, I've only read the series once.

I really hope that At War is NOT the last one. There are too many loose ends.

She's really awesome, I agree. (Although I can think of a few other very minor discrepancies, like the Amazing Age of Dairine (11 in SYWTBAW? 9 in HW? WHO KNOWS?)) And I can assure you, by the way, that W@W is not the last one; the next, Wizard of Mars, is due out... dude, I should totally know that, but I forget. Hm, check out http://www.youngwizards.com for a bunch of info and that kind of thing, plus cool stuff like the Errantry Concordance and the forums and so forth. :D

[yukinoomoni.livejournal.com]

The age thing confuses me too. I can never figure it out.

By the way, your icon? Awesome. That series is so neat.

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

Since I'm pretty sure DD herself has absolutely no idea how old whoever is, I'm relaxed about it. :P

*g* I love it, too!

[adiva_calandia]

*lovingly* The continuity of the YW-verse makes my head explode.

[yukinoomoni.livejournal.com]

Oh, but what would we do without it =3?

[seldearslj.livejournal.com]

But the books are so damn good, the continuity is really a very minor point!

Especially considering she wrote them over the last twenty years.

[yukinoomoni.livejournal.com]

That's a good point, too. Didn't the series start in 84?

[seldearslj.livejournal.com]

Mid-eighties, I think.

Ironically, that would make Kit and Nita 'born' before me. Yet they're still not out of their teens, while I'm thirty!

Ah well, the life of a fictional character!

[ryouji.livejournal.com]

I typically read it, Fill in all the gaps myself. I know the book series starts in the early 80's (something like that)
But, to keep my sanity on how I want to visualise everything, as far as I am concerned, they are living in today *laughs*
The entire thing with Dairine and her laptop, I saw her with one of the shiny new Vio's or something. Wide screen, cool logo.

And no, not a giant brick like originally imagined (I love the disclaimer at the beginning of the book about Laptops and how they 'cannot' do what was depicted in the book.)

Welcome aboard. :D

[yukinoomoni.livejournal.com]

That one is a really good one. It's so...interesting.
