I was really getting into this story, then I noticed you haven't updated since 2004. What's up with that?

Well, I'm still enjoying it! I look forward to the next chapter. My only criticism is that Skif has been misspelled (you have an extra f). Gasp! You've spawned a mini-Wyrsa.

I am really enjoying this so far. I loved Cam's fic and was delighted to discover one for Valdemar. So I would like to post an application, if it is not too late to join in the madness.

Name: Christine

Real name: Christine (I like to keep things simple)

Gender: Female

Occupation: Herald, Companion’s name Ophelia

Are you Tayledras?: No

Have you read any of the books? Yes

If so, which?: 'The Last Herald Mage Trilogy', 'The Heralds of Valdemar Trilogy', 'The Mage Winds Trilogy', 'Storm Warning', 'Brightly Burning', 'Exile’s Honor', 'Exile’s Valor', 'Sun in Glory' and 'The Valdemar Companion'. I’m still trying to get hold of the rest; there are five bookshops and four libraries where I live and none of them stock Mercedes Lackey books! If we’re looking at all Mercedes Lackey books, rather than just Valdemar ones, I’ve also read 'The Shadow of the Lion', 'The Eagle and the Nightengales', 'A Cast of Corbies', 'The Robin and the Kestral' and 'The Lark and the Wren'.

Favorite character: Tricky. Probably either Firesong or Alberich, though I know I’m letting myself in for a lot of trouble with either, let alone both.

Least favorite Character: Falconsbane

Preferred ‘ships: Elspeth/Darkwind, An’desha/Firesong, Vanyel/Tylendel, Alberich/Myste

Have you written a Mary Sue? No

Have you written a “fallen into Valdemar” story? No

I actually haven’t ever written in this fandom because I don’t want to mess it up. I’d rather wait until I’ve read all the books and have a better understanding of how all the subplots and history fit together.

Hey,
Just a quick question-- is it possible to be both Tayledras and a Herald? (I'm sorry, I'm kinda rusty in this dimension...)
The application will come soon. Thanks!

~Lady Ealisaid

Hey. I just reread the story to refresh my memory and felt stupid for forgetting such an inspirational tale. The problem is, though, that I skip back and forth between anime and Valdemar at random intervels. This particular story was lost until I went through my review history. I guess that's good for something after all huh? Anyways, I wanted to see if you intended to continue. I would demand that you update, but that is rude and uncalled for. Have fun writing!

OH I want to join! I loved the story, it was awesome! Im liking the whole hermaphradite best friend thing thats developing...lol

Very nice.

I like the way you have captured the OFU spirit here, though in my opinion, changing the bond for the last semester is going a little too easy on the students, but then, it's your story.

I'm going to send in an application as soon as I finish this review.

Again, very nice.
