Shelbor has left.
FireHunter wavers:) and grins at the silence
ELFQUEST says "AYOOOOOAH"
Moonshade says "Heyla Pini-people."
IceFire has left.
Wolfpup says "AYOOOOOOAH!"
Fairlight welcomes the Pinis
Falyeril has left.
Coldmist smiles, "Good morning :)"
Leila says "Ayooooah!"
Shelbor has arrived.
Wolfpup nods to the High Ones
Snowstorm smiles, "Ohayo!"
Fairlight says "Happy 25th to Elfquest!""
Rosewind says "AYOOOOOOAH"
ELFQUEST says "Whooooof! Hello all, and forgive us if there's a lag between
replies; it's EARLY here!"
Solsky says "Welcome"
Guest1 has arrived.
Fairlight says "Early? Are you in Hawaii?"
ELFQUEST says "West Coast is early enough!"
Fairlight grins
Leila is PST and considers it early here. *grin*
Guest2 has left.
Nightsong has connected.
Autumnsong has disconnected.
Neppie says "its a Happy Day"
FireHunter bahs and is ready to go to bed now on PST:P
Wolfpup says "well, Happy silver anniversary. The new cool swag in the Wolfrider
shop is great."
ELFQUEST says "It is indeed a happy day - and a wondrous one, and a sobering
one."
Felerian has reconnected.
ELFQUEST says ""Swag" - heh, you make it sound like we're a pirate outfit!"
Wolfpup laughs
Fairlight says "Booty, then""
Felerian says "yawn"
Malandor says "Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! :)"
Guest2 has left.
ELFQUEST says "By the way, we must make an announcement here - even though it
says on the EQ.com web page that we'll be here for two hours, we made a last
minute decision to retry the web-radio interview at 9 am here, noon EST, so this
session may be an hour."
Wolfpup says "I was wondering how you were going to do 2 things at once"
ELFQUEST says "Thank you Leila, you're on our side!"
FireHunter figured:)
Neppie says "LOL"
Guest1 has disconnected.
Fairlight says "You mean you can't simulatanously conduct a telephone interview
and chat with a horde of fans? What is the meaning of this????""
Leila cheers! And yawns! ;)
ELFQUEST says "Well the interview wasn't set up until very last-minute, so..."
Rosewind chuckles and snugs.
Neppie says "I agree with Fair"
Skywise stuffs chocolate in Leila's gaping maw.
Guest1 has left.
Guest2 has left.
Neppie says "Elfquest is Omnicient"
Coldmist grins
IceFire has arrived.
ELFQUEST says "Fairlight has always had a somewhat different take on things...
;)"
Wolfpup sits down and gets comfortable
ELFQUEST says "EQ may not be omniscient, but we're working on it."
Leila snickers. Fickle fans. They're only holding FOUR chat sessions here
today... shoulda made 'em run 24 hours like the "original" plan. ;)
Fairlight says "In the meantime, omnipotence will do...""
Snowstorm shakes her head at Elfquest...
Traest chuckles.
Snowstorm smiles though. =)
Wolfpup raises an eyebrow
Neppie says "LOL"
Rosewind eyes Snowstorm. "You be nice crazy one." :)
Serpent settles for gourmet cocoa.
umbravulpes has connected.
Shaevairc has arrived.
ELFQUEST says "Now Snowstorm has us wondering what's to shake?"
Fairlight says "Declare Elfquest a religion. Forget that Djun's day ever
existed...."
Neppie says "I second the motion"
Wolfpup looks confused
Wolfpup says "Elfquest ISN'T a religion?"
FireHunter chuckles
Moonshade says "It's a way of life."
Snowstorm shrugs, "I'm always nice... My head, at you. =) Or I could shake your
hand, your arm, or your books... there's a lot I can shake... the thing is, do
you really want me to shake anything of yours?"
Wolfpup snickers
Serpent says "I'm so surprised we got them to come. I remember years ago when I
was trying desperately to get them to join us on an old network called The
Sierra Network."
FireHunter says "Nah, Djun's day helps to work the humans towards wanting the
samekinda peace as the elves"
FireHunter says "I think"
ELFQUEST says "Serpent, the tools for making such a chat have improved
tremendously since then!"
Wolfpup says "the Pinis are full of surprises, Serpent."
ELFQUEST says "Snowstorm, if you're up to it, go out and shake up the world and
make them all aware of EQ!"
Snowstorm cringes at old chat rooms...
Exile has connected.
NightRose has arrived.
Eladamri has arrived.
Neppie does that everyday if she can
Fairlight says "As long as no cajones are involved, count me in."
Wolfpup says "I for one, would like to know if EQ has any surprises in store for
us this year"
Snowstorm chuckles, "ATM, my dissertation is all I'm up to.."
Snowstorm says "Shaking, that is."
ELFQUEST says "Fairlight, whatever you're able to bring to the discussion... :)"
Serpent says "You'd be surprisd....I was the moderator there and we had full
mute/ban capabilities. It was a gamers network through and thorugh."
Snowstorm thinks of shredding too when she thinks if it...
ELFQUEST says "Wolfpup, we're literally waiting minute by minute for certain
people to let us know certain things that will shake up EQ's world for the
foreseeable future!"
Cutter has arrived.
Fairlight praises the concept of moderation, due to the hot water it has oft
rescued him from
Moonshade hellos Cutter.
Serpent says "I also played Cutter and Skywise there for quite a while."
Wolfpup smiles
Serpent says "Hey Cutter."
Cutter waves hello.
Coldmist hugs Cutter
Rosewind tiggerpounces everyone who slipped in since the last time she pounced.
:)
Strongbow says "Hey, Cutter"
ELFQUEST says "By the way, is everyone here aware of the big San Diego
comics/media convention coming up this summer?"
Cutter Hellos.
Rahna has arrived.
Shelbor looks down at the hyperactive elf. "Wolfrider, right?"
Coldmist wished she could attend the convention
Serpent says "Anyone want to reminice about the first time they read ElfQuest?"
Rosewind sniffs Shelbor. "What tipped ya off?"
Wolfpup says "is that your way of saying that EQ is going to be there?"
Snowstorm thinks that Germany is far away...
Cutter says "I'm aware of it, sadly I can't attend it though."
Moonshade thinks g
Malandor knows of it, don't know if I'll make it.
Moonshade thinks Germany is closer and cheaper than San Diego at this time ;)
Neppie says "I've never been to a good comiccon"
Rosewind sighs "I'm on the oppisite side of the country. :("
Coldmist grins at Moonshade
Neppie says "I usually don't have the money"
Cutter is too.
ELFQUEST says "Wolfpup, not only will we be there, but I wanted to ask everyone
for ideas on how to make it a spectacular con with respect to EQ's 25th!"
FireHunter is with Neppie:)
Fairlight says "lasers"
Wolfpup says "nudity!"
Fairlight says "lasers always look cool."
ELFQUEST says "Nah, Fairlight, we don't want a repeat of what happened in Rhode
Island..."
Fairlight says "Free beer."
Wolfpup is just kidding
Serpent cringes.
Fairlight says "Picknose's old mouldy ale""
ELFQUEST says "Wolfpup, that would be an entirely different sort of
convention!!"
Serpent says "I'm a Rhode Islander."
Neppie says "Free Kisses"
Wolfpup wonders what happened in Rhode Island
FireHunter says "active audio in the background of posible elfquest happenings
in the book? err,,uh yeah"
Rosewind says "A concert gone wrong."
ELFQUEST says "Neppie, that might be arranged. :)"
Shelbor says "Hold an EQ costume contest, with original art the prizes."
Neppie giggles
Coldmist says "A concert with people that sing the Elfquest songs :)"
Cutter says "Have Winny in a kissing booth! She'll wantt to kill me if she hears
that but... oh well. She normally wants to try to off me."
Moonshade says "Another "postcard" :) I loved the one with Nightfall and Cutter
and youngin's, but I lost mine some 20 years ago, so..."
Rahna says "Or make up new elfquest songs. An EQ limerick contest. Um..."
ELFQUEST says "Shelbor, that's something we've been thinking of."
Eladamri has disconnected.
Snowstorm says "Heather Alexander, Julia Ekler<sp> would be better, coldy..."
Fairlight says "Wulff gets my vote. Nudity is a splendid suggestion.""
Shelbor beams...
Serpent says "Oh I like that song idea."
Eladamri has connected.
Skywise elbows Cutter. "No no, Skywise kissing booth. Pfft."
Rahna thinks a costume contest would be a blast. And I'm down with free kisses,
yep! ;)
ELFQUEST says "Moonshade, we could do a postcard, yes!"
Cutter has to agree on the songs, too. That would be rather interesting.
Leila grumbles about having to find a way down to San Diego, now... ;)
FireHunter chuckles
Neppie would pay money for a seat in a Strongbow kissing booth
Northwind has arrived.
Moonshade smiles - I'm sad I missed the last poster! I have, er, 10 and 15...
missed 20.
Fairlight says "You could have Elfquest Wigs made, and give them away. then take
photos of the crowd once the infection has taken hold.""
Leila grins at Fairlight, "An EQ costume contest and Nudity could potentially be
one and the same."
Nightsonggrumbles since she can't get to that con, "Or I would have to fly all
the way just for that.. but, no money."
Serpent doesn't want to be biased but he would have done a bit more for a
Wolfrider's Reflections. "Full cast....more instruments."
ELFQUEST says "Five years ago, for EQ's 20th, we asked people to do drawings for
the convention program book - it went well, looked great, and we'd like to do
that again."
Wolfpup says "how about having all the artists that have worked on EQ as
guests?"
Shelbor says "Filking contest, too?"
Felerian has partially disconnected.
Wolfpup perks up
Snowstorm says "ONLY if they CAN sing, Shel."
Cutter says "Filking?"
Shaevairc says "@ Serpent, Wolfrider's reflection is perfect"
Wolfpup says "convention book drawings, yeah!!"
Snowstorm says "There are days i'm GLAD that I'm at Reg for the con we're going
ot."
FireHunter likes the singing idea.
Snowstorm says "Filking is singing."
Serpent says "I guess just hearing Julia Ecklar sing all the male roles kinda
threw off my enjoyment of the CD."
Strongbow suggests have a contest/exhibition for people's -Original- EQ songs?
ELFQUEST says "The convention is bringing us in as guests, but we can try to get
as many of the other writers and artists there too."
Snowstorm says "The songs for the EQ album are sung by a filker... Julia..."
Neppie says "How about a half-wolf costume contest too"
FireHunter says "tahts what Elves are to sound like Serpent:)"
Northwind pops up and waves to all.
Rahna nods to Strongbow, that's what I was saying, exactly. :)
Featherwing has connected.
Guest1 has arrived.
Snowstorm says "Remake it with Joey Shoji or someone singing the male parts?
<shrug>"
Moonshade says "But for those of us who are too poor/too far/ etc, would any of
this be available for us not attending the con?"
Rikkert has connected.
Cutter says "The costume idea is good too."
Moonshade says "Or... make plans to attend an East Coast con ;)"
Neppie says "I'm in the middle"
Nightsong says "or a europe con?"
Fairlight says "Weblogs and photos would be a good way to get it all to the
masses"
ELFQUEST says "Also, I doubt anyone will remember San Diego con 1981, but there
were over 60 peole dressed up in EQ costumes for the masquerade contest - we
overran the place! Can we make it over 100 this year? ;)"
Shelbor says "Heh. Have a 'Worst EQ plot idea' contest. :-)"
Leila says "Bet you could... ;)"
Coldmist hmmms and honestly ponders coming, "Wanted to visit a friend in
Sacramento anyways ..."

Wolfpup remembers seeing the costumes from that year in the back of the comics
FireHunter nods yes active video site.
FireHunter says "would be cewl!"
Featherwing says "hello evryone"
Rosewind hugs Northwond. Hi
Snowstorm grins at Shelbor, "Worst is in the eye of the beholder..."
Serpent sighs. "All the good conventions take place on the west coast.....Rhode
Island has a convention center now too.....
Featherwing says "lot of people in here... cool"
Shelbor says "As determined by a panel of judges familiar with EQ."
Rikkert says "hi"
Strongbow says "Boston has Convention Centers too...so does NY :)"
ELFQUEST says "There are some decent conventions in NYC, I think."
Neppie says "No one wants to come to Cincinnati"
Serpent says "Yeah but RI has never had a comic book convention."
Snowstorm does wanna come.
Wolfpup frowns
Skywise will go when there's one in Canada. ;)
Moonshade says "Philly has one... and there is DragonCon in Atlanta."
Wolfpup says "or Pittsburgh"
Snowstorm says "I'm FROM Cinti. =P"
ELFQUEST says "I connect through Cincinnati every time I fly to the west coast!
;)"
Leila nots at DragonCon. Keep meaning to get to that.
Moonshade says "It's nice, Leila. :)"
Neppie says "Then, stop by to say hi...hehehe"
Leila says "Er, nods. Dratted fingers. Dratted telnet. *grin*"
Snowstorm says "I hope you don't go through the Delta Terminal EQ... that sux."
ELFQUEST says "Never had a problem with it, Snowstorm..."
Wolfpup says "I had a connecting flight there once."
ELFQUEST says "So how many people here would like to do an Elfquest 25th
anniversary drawing for the San Diego program book? I dare say I could get a
copy for everyone who contributes."
Serpent says "Well I've got a question for EQ if nobody minds.....what happened
with the toys? Did somebody drop the ball?"
Cutter is usually stuck driving everywhere he wants to go and since San Diego is
at least 3 days from home.. that's kind of out at this point.
Wolfpup raises a hand
Cutter can do a drawing.
Fairlight says "I'm sure just as many people would contribute as did to the
calendar."
Moonshade says "I would"
Wolfpup says "count me in on the program book"
ELFQUEST says "Ah, a question - I have been waiting an eternity for a question.
;)"
Fairlight says "there's not shortage of fanartists"
Rahna DOES! Heck yeah! I would contribute something!
Coldmist would like to do that too ... "Or is that just for people who will
attend the Con?"
Exile settles in and tries to catch up on conversation :)
Rahna backpedals and dittos Coldmist's Q.
ELFQUEST says "Coldmist, no, anyone at all can contribute!"
Skywise doesn't draw.
Rahna says "Awesome."
Coldmist smiles, "Then count me in :)"
Wolfpup says "will you post the info on elfquest.com for submissions?"
Featherwing says "count me in!"
ELFQUEST says "Serpent, the short answer is, yes, someone dropped the ball."
Cutter says "Awww. I was so looking forward the Series II."
ELFQUEST says "Wolfpup, yes, I will have information on elfquest.com for anyone
and everyone who wants to contribute - the more the merrier."
Wolfpup says "Does the long answer have anything in it about a series 2?"
Serpent says "I thought something was seriously wrong when I went to pose Leetah
and her entire upper body fell off."
Exile says "No Rayek figure, then?"
Autumnsong has connected.
Autumnsong gives a sleepy little yawn as she opens her golden-brown eyes.
ELFQUEST says "The company that produced the toys was a new company, and had
they run their management better, they probably would have learned a lot from
their mistakes (and there were not many) with Series 1, but..."
FireHunter says "well leetah is delicate:P"
Wolfpup says "there are other companies that make action figures."
Featherwing says "I can't even get them over here"
Featherwing says "snif"
ELFQUEST says "Exile, we're nearly certain there will be a Rayek figure... and
all the rest. It will just take more time, and will come from a different
campany."
Shaevairc says "question: what about the movie?"
Wolfpup says "I guess the question is, did they sell well enough to warrant a
second series with a different supplier?"
Cutter got lucky enough to grab a set of the Series I figures.
FireHunter eeks and hides
Featherwing says "lucky you, Cutter"
Serpent says "I had my uncle who works at Hasbro fix everything that broke on my
Leetah and Cutter."
Strongbow was only able to get the Tyldak figure...
Wolfpup had to get figures from Canada.
Cutter had to fight to get them, Featherwing.
ELFQUEST says "Serpent, maybe we should talk to your uncle!"
Featherwing says "I live in backward exiled Belgium and can't get anything over
here"
Fairlight says "Can any info at all on potential new lisencing partners be
released? When will I get my "Skywise does it in his headpiece" Mug, bumper
sticker and mousemat?""
Cutter says "There's an idea!"
Coldmist says "That's one problem I wanted to point out too. It's so hard to get
the new Elfquest things in Germany. Carlsen so lacks of caring about it, that
it's really a shame .... And most people from Europe (especially Germany), don't
have credit cards, because we have a slight different system with who gets one,
and who doesn't"
ELFQUEST says "Ah, someone had to be the first to ask about the movie..."
Exile says "I like the Tyldak figure, it's quite the eyecatcher."
Northwind throws out a hopefully question: "Not to detract from the topics of
cons and figures but when will the _perfect_ EQ GN 1 be out?"
Shaevairc says "*smile*"
Serpent says "Perfect?"
Leila says "Perfect?"
Wolfpup blins
Solsky says "Photoshop"
Wolfpup blinks
Northwind says, "Erm.. yeah... full, glorious color."
Serpent looks over on his shelf at his hardcover editions.
ELFQUEST says "Perfect, in quotes, is Wendy's way of referring to it looking
just as she's always envisioned it."
Strongbow says "The individual comics are in color, Northwind. :)"
Snowstorm says "Those were out long ago though I like my oldest copies best."
Leila says "Oh, very cool, EQ. :)"
FireHunter likes his oldest too:)
Wolfpup says "is Wendy there? Tell her that her work is already perfect!"
Snowstorm says "I think those had warp on the side... donno as they are in
Cinti... The color is better and less muddy than the newer version."
Cutter agrees with Wolfpup.
Malandor has GNs 1-9 in color hardback - all my friends oooh and ahhh over them,
but can't get their own in color.. are there plans to make another color run of
the GNs?
WindDancer has arrived.
Northwind says, "I know, but Wendy's going to be redoing them in amazing color
and reprinting it as a GN, right?"
FireHunter cheers with northwind!
WindDancer waves in.
FireHunter eeks I meant wolfpup(doh)
Shendia has arrived.
Coldmist loves her Bastei comics best. Printed on a sort of linnen
veli has connected.
Savah has arrived.
Leila nods at Malandor, "Most of mine are paperback, but same thing. I'm sad
that several are falling apart at the binding, so I hope to replace with
hardcovers eventually.
Fairlight says "The pshopped elfquest pages look great."
Snowstorm nods and agrees with Leila about the binding.
Northwind exclaims, "Mother of Memory!" and waves a greeting.
Featherwing says "I totally agree"
Kahvi says "Hey Savah :)"
Savah grins and waves.
Snowstorm runs from Savah! =)
Rikkert says "Quesion: will you at some point in time (soon) place a list of
titles on your site of the comics you published as WaRP or WARP. I mean
including Elflord and all. I would like to know what to search for."
Guest2 has left.
Yuki has arrived.
ELFQUEST says "The first issue of the new EQ graphic novel will - so we are told
- debut at the San Diego con."
Leetah has arrived.
Serpent says "I know that re-printing them in B&W is cheaper but I can't help
feel sorry for the people who are reading it for the first time. It's like
buying a B&W tv after years of Color."
Gem has arrived.
Leila says "Oohs, did I miss an answer to the movie Q? Or are we all just firing
fast and furious at pooe EQ here? ;)"
Guest2 has arrived.
Guest2 has disconnected.
Leila says "Pppr"
Fairlight says "The first issue, so you are told..... Who's publishing it?""
Cadence has arrived.
Leila says "poor. I hate telnet. ;)"
Wolfpup tells Leila we all knew what she meant
Shaevairc has reconnected.
Shaevairc has left.
Shaevairc has arrived.
ELFQUEST says "Rikkert, it's possible, though on elfquest.com we like to
concentrate on Elfquest."
Skywise noogies Cadence.
veli has disconnected.
Cadence tacklepounces Skywise
Yuki meeps.
Moonshade says "I always liked the black and white, personally. The inking has
always been very good - the transformation into color was always striking."
Northwind says, "When's the San Diego Con? *blinks cluelessly*"
Ashi goes home.
Ashi has left.
FireHunter thinks EQ almsot had a 3d depth with the color
veli has connected.
ELFQUEST says "Fairlight, at this precise moment, we have to hide behind a
no-comment. We're waiting on word just as you are. Could know in a few hours,
literally."
Shendia doesn't think we have to do ooc in here. Waves to 'Elfquest' and peers.
If you're in there, R.P., heya! Long time no talk!
veli says "what was the question? My browser crashed..."
Savah has the first five in b&w issue of the new ones, though I have spotted
hardbacks of the color versions that I so very much want.
Gem says "Richard, do you ever come to less well known cities? Like Wichita or
Memphis?"
FireHunter Isn't gonna say it, Nope,,,BAH, It's SNOWING!!!
FireHunter says "sorry:)"
Fairlight says "It must be a scary and exciting thing to do"
Wolfpupvotes for more q00l swag
Snowstorm smiles at FireHunter, "I'M JEALOUS!!!"
Cutter says "If you guys went to Memphis, I could get there."
Featherwing says "Richard, are the cons only in America?""
Gem says "As could I, I've got family there and grew up there."
Coldmist is glad that spring is on its way here, no snow anymore ... but people
attending Carnival these days will end up in rain, mwuahaha
Snowstorm could too from the horrid place she is residing. =)
Wolfpup says "will there be a 25th anniversary pin?"
ELFQUEST says "Gem, we tend to go where we get paid to go! Time and finances are
always considerations. :)"
Rahna says "Good question, Wolfpup!"
Nightsong has disconnected.
Wolfpup grins
Nightfall has arrived.
Gem says "If I had the money, I'd pay you! *G*"
Strongbow has a question as well, "Will there be any more calendars?"
Shelbor says "Have the Pinis ever been invited to a WorldCon?"
Featherwing says "I go with Gem..."
Neppie says "Getting paid = GOOD"
FireHunter ums and urges Gem,,,go for it:P
Fairlight says "Though plans are obviously fermenting left, right, and center,
do any of them involve a computer game?"
Cutter would pitch in with Gem. :D
ELFQUEST says "There's already a 25th anniversary pinback button in production,
and we will very likely make a pin as well."
Wolfpup squirms excitedly
Shaevairc says "I don't want to sound impatient... but what about the movie now?
^^"
ELFQUEST says "Featherwing, we've gone to conventions all over the world, but
again, subject to time and other factors."
Rikkert has disconnected.
Gem says "I want to hear about the new Wendy comic! The one she is supposed to
draw."
Guest1 has disconnected.
ELFQUEST says "Strongbow, we're counting on more calendars."
Serpent says "I'll second Fairlight's question. I tried writing EQ as a text
adventure many years ago."
Featherwing says "I need to move to America..."
Leila squeals! Wendy-drawn comics!
WindDancer goes home.
WindDancer has left.
ELFQUEST says "Stelbor, Wendy was guest of honor at a Worldcon in Boston some
years back."
Malandor wants to know one thing! (angry finger at Elfquest) Why not more Aroree
stuff! You have drawings availabe on elfquest.com of just about everyone except
Sad Eyes! Any plans to correct his hideous shortcoming? :)
ELFQUEST says "Fairlight, very likely, though publishing plans come first."
Shelbor remembers that, now. "Was there, took photos."
FireHunter is jelious.
Fairlight says "Of course, the real question is what *kind* of computer game...
Lots want a traditional spreadshe..er.. role playing game, some want an action
chop-em-up, others (including me) want an open ended explorable thingy...""
Wolfpup taps a foot impatiently,waiting to hear about the new EQ comic
Shelbor says "Aroree is one of my favorite characters from the series."
Rosewind asks: Any news on when the EQ movie will be released?
Gem says "I think Elfquest would be best done like the Final Fantasys'"
Rikkert has connected.
Serpent says "Elfquest as a Morrowind Mod....<G>"
Featherwing says "I agree, Gem"
Savah gently reminds all her children of the hunt at 11cst/12est am.
ELFQUEST says "Wendy says the new EQ comic is a continuation of where things
left off at the end of Full Circle."
Featherwing says "Could work nicely too, Serpent... great idea."
Exile says "Savah, hunting? :)"
Savah says "No, just running it."
ELFQUEST says "And it will be a graphic novel, not just a comic - at least 320
pages."
Wolfpup says "WOO HOOOOO!!!!!"
FireHunter says "WOWS!:)"
Cadence cheers
Gem says "Yeah! No one will ever draw as well as Wendy and some of us die-hard
fans have been suffering without her."
Snowstorm could've sworn that GS was running it but could be mistaken. =)
SparkDance says "kewl"
Wolfpup is in awe
Malandor woots. :)
Kier has disconnected.
Rikkert says "thats a lot all at once. GREAT"
FireHunter Agree's again with Gem!:)
Leaffall has arrived.
Northwind has reconnected.
Cutter does love Wendy's art.
Rahna second s- thirds - whatevers - Gem's comment. *swoons for Wendy art*
FireHunter says "No offence to the other artists!~~:)"
veli says "Will that be THE Final Quest?"
Gem says "A whole graphic novel. My gosh, I won't come out of my room for days."
ELFQUEST says "About the movie, really the only thing we can say is to point you
to the last thing we said at elfquest.com, about the delay because of the loss
of financing. However, as soon as we have word about what we can publicly say
about publishing, we'll have word about movie possibilities too."
SparkDance says "haha same!"
Neppie says "is the movie that bad??"
Exile says "And did I miss the end of Menders tale? I've been out of the loop
for too long."
Wolfpup sighs
Savah wonders if we can start up a "make the EQ movie" fund!
Cutter says "That's the first thing that made me look at ElfQuest because I
didn't like 'comic books' when it was first presented it to me but, I adored
good artwork.. then the story caught me and I've been hooked ever since."
Coldmist says "I also liked a lot of what other artists have done with the
mini-series, such as Two-Spear. It was unique, and therefor wonderful"
ELFQUEST says "Wendy says NO! The new graphic novel is not the Final Quest -
that one is a long way off yet."
SparkDance says "thats kewl Savah!"
Rikkert says "It almost looks like the movie is jinxed"
Gem says "Before I got on, I have been reading the whole saga over from start to
finish in honor of this big day and I just read the FIRST issue where you talked
about the movie! *G* It was in 1994, Hidden Years 14"
ELFQUEST says "Exile, no you didn't. It's still waiting for a place and time to
be published."
Exile nod at Elfquest :)
ELFQUEST says "Rikkert, it took Road to Perdition over 10 years to make it - and
they weren't even trying for a movie."
Featherwing says "" Could anyone tell me about the comics related to Suntop? We
only have a few HY and the main Elfquest comics... I really need to know..."
Wolfpup thinks tht nobody could be as disppointed about the non-progress of the
movie than the Pinis
veli is waiting for Mender's Tale, too :(
Neppie says "yeah, what happen to Suntop?"
Gem says "I have faith, but boy do I get teased about the movie from my family.
They all know how long I've been waiting and go..."So, no movie, huh? When will
you give up." *sniffs*"
ELFQUEST says "Gem, some day we'll write a book all about the making of this
movie, and it'll be a bigger roller-coaster ride than anything at Six Flags!"
Strongbow says "There's a tale in the latest GN, Featherwing..."
Strongbow says "About Suntop, that is..."
SparkDance says "I have a question, I readone comic and Suntops name was Suntop
and another his name was Sunstream..why?"
Neppie laughs
Shaevairc says "but will the movie be in comic style? I hope so"
Rikkert says "Well I prefer a good prouct at a later time to some dissapointing
product right now. So take all the time you need is my opinion"
Strongbow points Sparkdance to his last comment...
Featherwing says "what does GN stand for???"
Strongbow says "Graphic Novel"
Traest says "GN = Graphic Novel'"
Gem says "The only thing that frightens me, Richard, is I read that you were
planning on combining a lot of the story into one movie. Recognition of Cutter
and Leetah AND the King of B"
Featherwing says "I feel stupid now..."
Serpent has reconnected.
Gem says "SORRY, King of Broken Wheel. Is that true?"
ELFQUEST says "SparkDance, if you reread Full Circle, you'll understand the name
change."
Featherwing says "All I know is Suntop left and they found him again with the
palace..."
Wolfpup says "the Pinis will make the best choices. You can be assured of that."
SparkDance says "okay"
Serpent says "Has the success of Lord of the Rings made you change the script in
any way? I always thought Elfquest would be better off as a series of movies,
mirroring the graphic novels to the letter."
ELFQUEST says "Gem, that's just one of many many rumors. If you don't hear it
from us directly or on elfquest.com, take it with a pound of salt."
Savah oohs and likes that idea...but geeze, wouldn't that take a while!
Guest1 has left.
Guest2 has left.
Serpent has partially disconnected.
Snowstorm says "Taking a while is better than making a hash of things though.
<smile>"
Cutter thinks if the first movie did well in theatres (and I know I'd have to go
see it at least a half dozen times) that any production company would have to be
insane not to do the rest.
Rahna grins. "I think that even as a series, SOME stuff would wind up being cut
or changed to better suit the different format, but that's just one elf's
opinion.
ELFQUEST says "Serpent, the LoTR sucesses have mostly given us a reason to think
that an EQ movie might work very well as live-action/CGI - as well as
animation."
Featherwing says "I agree with Snowstorm... :-)"
Cutter agrees with Snowstorm on that one.
FireHunter wells with serpent sept broken down into happenings liek the quest,
then WInni's plot and so on:)
Leaffall is from the old old days of the original 20 and if there is one thing
you learned back then was that it is always worth the wait =)
Rahna says "Elfquest CGI? I may expire from glee."
Cutter says "Talk to Peter Jackson, maybe he'd want to take it on!"
SparkDance says ":)"
Fairlight says "Question. How consciously is Elfquest written with the
structuralist (Campbell, Levi Strauss, etc) understanding of myth in mind? Is it
dangerous to switch their analysis from an analytical tool into a creative one?"
ELFQUEST says "Cutter, we may just have that chance. ;)"
Serpent says "I was planning on getting into filmmaking as a child to do a
live-action EQ..<G> I would have done a Dark Crystal though."
Gem says "Well, I read an interview about Jackson and he says he is done with
fantasy, that he could never top LoTR"
Fairlight says "Is gollum part of the reason Live action/CGI is being
considerd?"
Shelbor says "I think that while LA/CGI would work, animation is more suitable
to the source material."
Gem says "I vote animation, too."
Cutter cheers!
SparkDance says "I agree with Gem"
Featherwing says "I agree"
veli says "me too"
ELFQUEST says "Fairlight, you tell us! We're just telling a story. If it happens
to fit into someone's formula, that's great! But we're not doing it
consciously."
FireHunter nods, I like the EQ form!
Wolfpup says "yaknow what? as long as it's not paper dolls on sticks, I'll be
happy with whatever format the movie finally makes it to screen in."
Cutter likes it too.
Gem says "Yeah, I'd watch stick figures."
SparkDancelikes it also
Cutter says "I'd watch handpuppets."
Coldmist laughs and thinks .oO(Elfquest in South Park style ;)"
Shelbor says "In EQ story is almost always more important than the appearance."
Cutter says "Ugh!"
FireHunter dohs
Traest laughs
Wolfpup considers that
Shendia might consider watching the books talk, even. stationary...
Rahna giggles. Actually, paper dolls on sticks might be kind of fun, for a SHORT
film - not feature length, of course... ;)
Gem says "I'd watch the Elfquest movie I already have with little pictures
moving across the screen..*snicker snark*"
Rahna says "Wendy-drawn paper dolls on sticks, tho. ;)"
Savah waves out to go back to the village.
Savah has left.
SparkDance says "i'd wath anying with EQ in it"
FireHunter says "who could resist that Rahna!"
Gem says "I always wanted a Leetah doll growing up."
veli says "paper dolls on sticks would be better than children riding dogs, imo"
Fairlight says "I ask because a lot of writers and directors do like that model,
but do so quite consciously, talking about it quite a lot in interviews. EQ
always felt very true to me, in the manner of all good stories, in a way that
Star Wars, Lion King and other "heroic journeys" didn't. A personal thing, I'm
sure."
Serpent says "I did that for a school project once. I had other students record
character voices for the Bridge of destiny scene, edited them together and
filmed the comic book along with the voice track."
Stormsinger has connected.
Rahna loves the 'children riding dogs' thing, in a twisted, 'cheesy B fantasy
meets childhood backyard Play' sort of way. ;)
Rikkert says "I saw an ASCI-version of star wars just last week. Maybe that's
the solution"
SparkDance says "Serpet kewl idea!"
Serpent says "Made it easier for the other students to see what I was so
thrilled about."
Rosewind asks: Will you be putting out any new figures. Like the Cutter figure
on Elfquest.com?
FireHunter thinks though if yo ugot the 3d model of an EQ figure and put it onto
a RL persons figure that could make a realy good movie too.
veli says "The old or the new Star Wars?"
ELFQUEST says "Not only Gollum, but all the tricks used in LoTR could work to
EQ's advantage."
Stormsinger says "hello"
Moonshade says "Uhm... I would want to watch good animation in the style of
Wendy, as has been happening for many years. CGI doesn't seem appealing - and
the love of Wendy's work is what has been keeping me buying and looking all
these years, the story (unless written) has not. I did not read Barry's work
because the art scared me."
Shaevairc has partially disconnected.
Moonshade says "But that's just my 2cents."
Gem says "Well, do keep in mind. Star Wars lost a lot with all the
CGI...primarily good acting."
ELFQUEST says "Rosewind, we hope to be able to announce new figures soon - but
we won't be making/selling them."
Stormsinger says "someone has taken my nickname on this mush ;-)"
ELFQUEST says "Gem, amen!"
Moonshade grins at Stormsinger.
Wolfpup thinks Moonshade is being silly
Yuki muahas. "Then, with a animation style movie, we'd rope the new generation
in too!"
Guest1 has left.
SparkDancegrins at every one
Fairlight says "There was a big difference between FOTR and Two Towers. The
first had that silly scene with Galdriel exploding and emitting beams of
computer graphics. Then Two Towers made it all better."
Shaevairc says "I'd agree to Moonshade's statement..."
Gem says "All, I know is PLEASE don't make it for kids..PLEASE!"
Snowstorm raises an eyebrow at Stormsinger.
Moonshade says "Eh, Wolfpup, you get to reading something for 20 odd years and
you become picky. ;)"
Guest1 has arrived.
FireHunter AGree's with Gem! little bit Kidish is ok:) but not Mushie!:)
Serpent says "I dunno...American audiences have a tendancy to think all
hand-drawn animated movies are for kids no matter what the rating."
Strongbow agrees with Moonshade. The art really does make the story. I read the
Blair comics when I first got them, but I cannot, to this day, remember what
happened except it was sort of about Windkin in the Jungle. The other comics I
can quote the issue number.
Shelbor wonders if Mark Hammil (SP?) was considered for any of the voices. :-)
Cutter thinks that if a good enough director.. someone that pays attention to
the details (like Peter Jackson for example) took it on, that the story wouldn't
loose it's meat, so to speak, no matter the format.
Wolfpup says "I've been reading EQ since 1981, and I'm not that picky"
Rikkert says "Wendy's art is great, don0t get me wrong, but Barry Blair's work
is also great"
Shendia has left.
Fairlight began reading elfquest in 1988, courtesy of England's Titan Books
Shendia has arrived.
Gem says "Mark Hamill would be great as one of the trolls."
Neppie has disconnected.
Shendia snorks.
Rosewind snickers.
ELFQUEST says "Mark Hamill did express that he wanted to do Picknose's voice."
Moonshade says "It's all personal choice - I didn't like Blair. No biggee."
Rahna nods at Moonshade. "I am woefully out of date on what's going on in the EQ
qorld, because I have been unable to justify to myself buying the books that
Wendy didn't draw. The art has always been as important to me as the story. it's
an amazing story, and it's told through beautiful artwork. I haven't read most
of the post-Wendy stuff.
Cutter grins.
Wolfpup says "well Rikkert, it's not bad."
Gem says "Hehe. I knew it!"
Exile goes all crosseyed, imagining Hamill as picknose.
Strongbow says ""
ELFQUEST says "There's a great deal of information on elfquest.com even if you
don't have the books, though!"
Serpent says "I didn't like Blair's stuff either...couldn't tell what gender
some of his elves were."
Wolfpup reminds everyone that Elfmom is only one person.
Cutter says "He does good voices, Exile."
Gem says "Well, if you think about it. Hamill didn't age well and he does KIND
of look like a troll."
Gem says "I'd love him with boils, though."
SparkDance says "LoL"
Yuki says "Hamill could do it, he did the JOKER!"
Rahna notes to Serpent that the recent anime films have been changing that in
the US, Serpent - First Princess Mononoke and now especially Spirited Away are
starting to change that perception a bit.
FireHunter laughs at gem
Coldmist did like Jozef Szekeres' art best, as well as Brandon McKinney, and the
one that did the computer art for Wild Hunt ...
Leaffall says "You have to take the different artists as who they are. I didn't
like Blair's work all that much until I met him, and saw him draw. I had a new
appreciation for him afterwards."
Serpent says "Princess Mononoke was only shown at an art house theatre here in
RI and Spirited Away ran for a week."
Wolfpup wonders why everyone second guesses the Pinis
Moonshade says "That's true - whoever did all the cross-referenceing on eq.com
did a wonderful job. Painstaking job. :)"
Shelbor says "Hammil did an elf in an animated movie, pre _Star Wars_."
Antonie has connected.
Kier has connected.
Kier has left.
Kier has arrived.
Rahna isn't saying Wnedy should be super-human, Wolfpup. But I do have my own
opinions of EQ, and my opinions involve Wendy's artwork. I don't see how she
could be offended by knowing that there are folks who have a preference for HER
magic.
ELFQUEST says "Moonshade, thank you! :)"
Gem says "I felt same way as Rahna until I started re-reading my comics again.
This time I'm not so upset about Wendy not drawing them. The first time I read
them, I cursed and fumed, but now I see the story of Shards and am enjoying it
much more."
veli says "The old wavedancers looked like they were designed to break at the
waist"
Nightfall nods. "Yeah, Miyazaki has drawn American audiences in, but honestly,
they didn't show it at enough theaters! They give it the select theaters run,
then send it straight to DVD..."
Rikkert says "There is only one type of eq-art i really don't like, all the
other I can live with, like, love, adore, think is great. Its just like life...
You can't have everything"
Rahna nods to Serpent, "And that's a start. And in my area, they both played
much longer."
FireHunter just htinks the other artists dont hve a boundaried art line to keep
the charcters contrasted to
FireHunter just thinks even
marissa has connected.
Guest1 says "I'd just like to say HAPPY 25TH!!!"
FireHunter cheers with guest!:)
Gem says "YEAH!"
ELFQUEST says "Thank you all, for the good 25th anniversary wishes!"
Featherwing says ""Yeah!""
Northwind adds her voice to that howl!
Cutter just adores Wendy's artwork and is trying to find a place to order the
new Wendy artwork from. The King and Queen of Night are awesome!
SparkDanceCHEERS TOO!
Guest1 says "AYOOOAH!"
Strongbow says "Cutter, thanks for reminding me about those. Birthday checks
come soon ;)"
Gem says "I have an addy of the art I can give you later, Cutter"
Stormsinger is Firesong btw
Wolfpup says "Rahna, please note that I didn't say I liked anybody's work as
much as Wendy's. She is my favorite EQ artist. Just saying that she's only one
person, and here are all us fans clammoring for more and more and more EQ."
Shelbor says "There's still too much pigeonholing of certain genres in the US.
Many people complained that _Jurassic Park_ was too violent for children,
ignoring that it wasn't for children. (A friend waiting in line to see it spoke
of one woman who quieted her pre-teens by telling them they were going to see
Barney.)"
Cutter adds his voice to the howling as well.
ELFQUEST says "We're going to have to log off this chat for now - but we'll be
back in a couple of hours. We're going to do the web-radio interview now. If you
want to listen in, point your browers/players at www.wxbh.com"

Coldmist says "As long as Wendy Pini doesn't train artists to draw exactly like
her, everything is fine :)"
Exile waves to Elfquest!
Gem says "Yeah, well. I warned my grandmother that Jurassic Park wasn't for a 4
year old, and I ended up being forced to take him. He had nightmares for weeks."

Frozzie says "anke! i see you!"
Wolfpup says "tavie, I always wondered how the sunvillagers made their clothing.
We've never seen a loom or anything. Where do they get the cloth?"
Frozzie says "i'm overly happy now XD"
veli says "aahhh..."
LegendaryShannon steps back to get some breathing room!
veli says "this chat's really confusing"
Tavie says "I think there had to have been looms. I wonder why we never saw
them."
Frozzie says "yes it is... i'm glad i'm finally in"
Tavie says "Maybe it was just never important enough to figure in the background
of a story."
Wolfpup says "The only thing I remember seeing is a little embroidery loop."
SparkDance says "well how else to they have clothes?"
Neko has arrived.
Leila says "We don't see elf toilets, in general, eihther. DOes that mean they
don't have them? :)"

that."
Guest3 has disconnected.
Tavie says "There's a lot of daily-life stuff we don't see"
SparkDance says "maybe they don't need to use the bathroom?"
Fairlight says "I think they probably discharge in the woods. Like bears"

thought that the forest folk would be curious about the Sunvillars clothes"

Traest woots. "For those of you just joining us, Wendy and Richard Pini are on

FireHunter just got through saying how he's not gonna guarantee alot;)
Frozzie says "you guys type too fast ;D"
SparkDance smiles
Goldeye says "hello Guest2"
ELFQUEST says "What does someone want to know about textiles?"
ELFQUEST says "Or elf poop?"
Traest laughs. "They were wondering if elves had looms and toilets. :)"
LegendaryShannon says "Wendy & Richard, they want to know if elves sew."
Frozzie says "i don't like it when i have to keep my dictionary at hand o_O"
ELFQUEST says "Arrgh - twenty-five years and all we can talk about is elf
poop..."

Fairlight says "Do they cross stitch? Embroider?"
Tavie says "Pooh, crochet, I can't get the hang of that. Who cares. <g>"
SparkDance says "i am quite curious"
veli says "wasn't there a loom in "Moonshade"?"
ELFQUEST says "The Wolfriders do weave, leather strips and such. But they don't
use a loom. The Sun Villagers do, though, a lot."
LegendaryShannon says "There is probably a war on between the knitters and the
crocheters."
FireHunter notes Leila is right:)
Leila says "Moonshade wasn't canon."
ELFQUEST says "Leetah embroiders - you can see it in Book 1"

Wolfpup says "where do they get the thread, from the zwoots?"
Fairlight says "I got confused inthe interview. What is the difference between
"Joellyn Auklandus" and "Corbie Mitleid"?"
Tavie says "'Moonshade' was lovely, too."
veli says "Yaaahho!"
Leila says "Oh, my understanding was that that book WASN'T! I stand corrected.

Antoniewaves back - Hi Afke!@
Frozzie says "yeah, now it is o_O but i still have no idea what knitters is"

Kaer lol
ederwinksqueeks with delight at the idea of a wolf sweater!
Wolfpup giggles
Leila says "So the things that happened in 'Moonshade' are considered to have
'really happened' to the WOlfriders, SUn VIllagers, etc.? :)"
SparkDance says "do Go-backs make clothes the way Wolfriders do?"
ELFQUEST says "Such a sweater would SMELL in the rain, though!"
Goldeye says "To Richard and Wendy Pini and all the rest of the Elquest team
...Happy 25 years of wonderful story lines and just an all around good feeling
to them. Thanks for creating it!!!"
Leila slaps her sticky shift key.

that helps :)"
ELFQUEST says "Goldeye, thank you!"
Blackbird says "lol"
LegendaryShannon says "It's Audry here BTW. :-)"
Shaevairc says "I got a question from a friend of mine about copyright: Her
elven tribes are unique, as well as the land and she has her own high ones. The
only thing in common with Elfquest are the two moons, the fact that there ARE
high ones and that the elves can send, have four fngers and pointy ears.
Everything else is original and there are no charaters of the original Elfquest
involved. So does the text need a copyright remark?"
Guest2 says "hello"
Frozzie says "yeah, but i'm still confused on how it came up ;D"
Blackbird says "knitting is breien geloof ik"
Skywise has arrived.

Nightfall has arrived.
Frozzie says "merel: thanks"
ELFQUEST says "Shaevaric, if there are concepts involved that are from EQ (like
the two moons, the world, the high ones, etc.) then there must be a disclaimer
legally that says that the story uses Elfquest concepts, trademarks, etc."
Shaevairc says "thank you"
LegendaryShannon says "Shaevairc, good question."
ELFQUEST says "Timmorn will be coming up in future stories."
Kaer nods.
ELFQUEST says "We love the scruffy guy too."
Antonie says "Yay for more Timmorn/BoTC stories!!"
Wolfpup says "Cool! Can't wait to see them!"
Tavie says "Isn't it funny that if you grow with the books you start taking
notice of different things that become important to you. I never thought about

Guest2 has disconnected.
Wolfpup says "wasn't that just a lock of hair?"
Frozzie says "i only noticed when i bought in all but blood ;D"
Coldmist grins at Antonie
ELFQUEST says "Rosannez, Leetah is still primarily a vegetarian, but she has
partaken at times with the Wolfriders."
Kaer smiles dryly, "We'll live, I imagine."
Tavie says "I must've seen the Euro one first, somehow. Maybe in Sweden. Because
the lack of nipples was jarring."
LegendaryShannon says "Imagine what they look like in the Japanese version. No
nipples there."
ELFQUEST says "Tartare!"
Kaer laughs.
Guest2 has left.
marissa says "Hi Richard"
Malandor says "Richard and Wendy, will there be Aroree drawings made available
in The Art Shop in the Wolfrider Shop? There's everyone on there except her. :)"
ederwinklaughs
Antoniewonders why female nipples are taboo when male are not
findorus says "Wendy one of the new Prints showing up around one of them titled
Winged Flora, was she created before, during or after EQ? To me she looks a
little like Leetah"
Guest2 has arrived.
ELFQUEST says "Malandor, it's possible."
Rikkert says "sorry i just came in, but what comic has different versions in
Europe?"
Goldeye says "Is the Elfquest animated movie out yet or is things still being
worked on with it?"
LegendaryShannon says "Antonie because we women get away with looking at more
;-)"
eqfanart has connected.
Frozzie wonders along with antonie
veli says "Are you still going to reprint the novels and BoTC-books?"
Frozzie says "eqfanart = amanda?"
Wolfpup says "there's one print at the Wolfrider shop of a very Bakshi looking
elfin warrior. Is that new, or Wendy,did you draw that a long time ago?"
ELFQUEST says "Wendy says that Flora (and the other two) were done before EQ by
several years."
Antonie says "Shannon, true, good for us :D"
Gem says "I'd really like to see some lithographs of all the Wolfriders
together...like you used to insert into the comics."
FireHunter wells the defence is that males chests aren't glands
marissa says "Do you remember me, Richard>"
veli agrees with Gem
ELFQUEST says "Veli, we have plans for all our books, prose and comic format."
Nienke has connected.
Zarah plans to buy every EQ novel
veli says "thanks ^_^"
Leila says "Oh, men have 'em. They just don't deveop, usually! ;)"
Tavie says "Does anyone know if the toys are still available? I never did get
any."
ELFQUEST says "Marissa, yes, I've been getting the artwork you've emailed."
SparkDance agrees with Zarah
Gem says "I see the toys on Ebay all the time."
findorus says "my girlfriend and I also noticed that one of them looked like
Winnowil from when she was living in the Sea"
Goldeye has most of the Elfquest novel:)
Rikkert says "Question: Whasn't the Blood of Ten Chiefs novel nr 6 (almost)
complete? Will it be out in the forseeable future"
marissa says "and? How do you like it?"
Tavie says "Ebay. That'll work."
LegendaryShannon says "Tavie some are available on Ebay"
ELFQUEST says "Tavie, alas, the toys are for now only available if and how you
can find them."
Tavie kicks a rock.
Wolfpup pats Tavie on the back
ELFQUEST says "Findorus, yes, that print is inspired by Winnie."
Tavie says "I snoozed, I losed."
findorus says "what of the Movie, have the High Ones shown there light as to how
it will continue?"
ELFQUEST says "Rikkert, we'd love for that volume to come out. We're working on
it."
Kaer says "I have a question which has probably been asked many times before...
what has been your favourite fan-art or fan-fiction down through the years? Any
memorable ones?"
Gem says "I'm only heartbroken that Skywise was to be in the second batch of
toys and now we must wait!"
Wolfpup says "tavie, I just got my set of series one about a month ago."
Antonie says "i guess we're all dying to know about the movie..."
Tavie says "Bragger."
Reed really wants to see that 6th Bo
FireHunter says "Good one Kaer:)"
Wolfpup says "Nah, just letting you know you can still find them, if you
persevere"
Reed says, "Bot"
LegendaryShannon says "Kaer, that's hardly a fair question."
Goldeye says "Regarding Series Two for the Toys..............is that out yet? I
hope...."
Tavie grins.
Reed says, "BoT ...even"
Wolfpup says "took nearly 2 years for me, Tav"
Traest forwards a question from another chatter to Richard and Wendy. "Some time
ago there was talk of Wendy releasing more, er, intimate drawings of the elves.
Is this still in the back of your minds? Not looking for porn, but just
something showing the intimate side of elves."
Kaer chuckles, "Perhaps, but if there is an answer I'd be most curious."
ELFQUEST says "Kaer, we love all the fan efforts - we enjoy the art, but can't
read the fiction for reasons of legality, copyright, and so on."
Tavie says "What I really, really want is a new Wendy-done calendar. I have the
ugliest thing sitting on my wall at work and I refuse to replace it with
anything but the best."
Trollkiller has arrived.
Kaer ahhs, "A pity."
Guest1 has arrived.
marissa says "nice name... erhm"
Gem says "Yes, a new calendar would be great!"
Exile greets Trollkiller, Dawnishly.
LegendaryShannon says "Traest, didn't you see the Lovemates calendar? That was
intimate!"
Tavie says "I never looked at the fan calendar, though. I should give it a
chance, anyway."
ELFQUEST says "Traest, all we can say to that is perhaps. ;)"
Frozzie likes the fan calendars
Traest laughs. "I have two copies of it. That question was forwarded to me by A
Shy One. :)
Leila hasn't seen the fan calendar. I've been so out of the loop. ;P
marissa says "yes, the lovemates calander was really beautiful."
Rillwhisper has arrived.
SparkDance also likes the calenders
Oriolle has left.
findorus says "but what about the movie? Is tehre light at the end of the tunnel
again yet?"
Kestrel snugs Rill.
marissa says "I've got Richard to thank for that one.."
Antonie says "Tavie please do look at the fan calendar - I did June :D"
Tavie says "Now I HAVE to see."
Rillwhisper plunks over by Trollkiller. :)
SparkDance laughs
Cadence would love to have more calendars!!
ELFQUEST says "Findorus, yes there is light, but because of the delays we wrote
about on eq.com, it's still a far-off light. But it is there."
Traest says "And there goes the previous TwoMoons number of simultaneous
connections record...."
Gem says "I missed out on the lovemate calendar...I was so sad, I have all the
others, but that one went so fast. I have most the pictures off webpages
though."
ederwink says "and i did january. but its a real bad pic..."
Guest2 has disconnected.
Savah chuckles as some questions get recycled.
marissa says "Are they still doing work on the fancalander"
Exile plunks with Rill and TK, trying to keep up with questions.
ELFQUEST says "Did we break a record here?"
Goldeye cheers on the efforts of the EQ movie.....yea!
Rillwhisper grins. Yeah, we just topped our connection record.
Tavie says "How about an officially-released computer desktop calendar,
backgrounds, screensavers..."
Leila says "We broke a record!"
Traest nods. "Yes. :)"
Schaduwlach has connected.
Savah woots! "We broke it!"
Gem says "What was record?"
SparkDance leaps for joy!
Antonie says "which record?"
Traest says "We're at 77 people right now, old record was 76."
Schaduwlach says "hello?"
Tavie says "I didn't break nut'n. It wasn't me."
veli says "I think the Pin-up calendar was the best one"
Leila says "AWESOME! Oh, that's cool! THe record of how many people had been
logged in at one time before. THe number just keeps rising!"
Gem says "Wow."
ELFQUEST says "Tavie, we'd love to but we're in talks with companies to license
that sort of stuff now."
Exile says "Somebody was making screensaver and wallpapers once, I think. DIdn't
see anymore come of that?"
Reed swings her feet and smiles.
Tavie says "Oh good. Talk faster."
Blackbird says "schduwlach, youmade it :-D"
marissa says "schaduwlach, are you from Holland?"
Frozzie says "there's another 2003 fan calendar, if some haven't seent hat one
yet: http://frozenrain.sa-af.com/art/2003/"
Nightfall got a few fan-made winamp skins.
Schaduwlach says "yes!!!!"
Antonie says "oh, that's a great calendar... go look, people!!"
marissa says "I am too"
Rikkert says "marissa, I am"
Schaduwlach says "Wow I' happy again;)"
Frozzie likes the greatest moments best
SparkDance says "wesay y'all type to fast...*whew*"
Kaer applauds the record breaking.
marissa says "See, Richard how many dutch fans there are"
Antonie says "and while you're at it check out the whole frozen rain site -
its's great!"
Frozzie says "although i would've chosen other moments I think :)"
Blackbird says "here's anothor one"
findorus says "now wait a miute"
rosannez says "Me too!!"
Kaer says "I don't think Richard has counted them personally, marissa..."
findorus says "January looks good"
Nienke says "Me too!"
Blackbird says "lol"
ELFQUEST says "Let me just toss in another little warning about doing things
like skins - you can do them for yourself but cannot share them."
marissa says "smile..."
Nightfall says "can't share them?"
Fairlight says "There are tons of Elfquest mods out there, but the people who
make them tend to not advertise them. I've found things including: Winamp/WMP
skins; Sims Skins, Quake Skins; maps of Abode for various strategy games"
ederwink says "oh thanks findorus. its defintaly not my best."
Tavie says "Tend not to advertise because they're illegal."
Nightfall says "Even if there are warnings about the pics NOT being the person's
property?"
findorus says "so is Junes"
Zarah has disconnected.
ELFQUEST says "It's not legal to put them on your site and let others download
them. That's all I'll say."
Antonieis afraid of seeming ignorant but has no idea what skins are
Schaduwlach says "you're just going to fast for me ;)"
Gem says "What is a skin used for?"
LegendaryShannon says "I was about to say, if you ever see anyone attempting to
sell Elfquest desktops, wallpapers, skins -- contact elfquest.com!"
Reed says, "I told my mother I would say 'Hello!' for her. She isn't able to be
online."
Rikkert says "Question: Richard, do you get to see the translated versions, i.e.
the dutch publications?"
ELFQUEST says "Skins hold your guts in, :)"
veli says "A new look for a media-player or the like"
FireHunter nods, but self drawings compltely at there own hand is ok? or no?
Fairlight says "Of course. But most proprietors tolerate mods as a kind of
fanart. Skins wrap onto other products to turn it wholly or in some limited way
into a reflection of *another* thing."
Nightfall sighs. "That's kinda not fun. They're not being sold..."
Zarah has connected.
Kaer chuckles, "They should have an online web facility, like the ones that
check your web site for good code and design... something that looks over your
site and can declare your ElfQuest site violation-free."
LegendaryShannon says "a skin is the design on a program, like the wallpaper on
a webpage."
Gem giggles
ELFQUEST says "Rikkert, yes, we get copies of all the translated volumes. Can't
read them much, though."
Nightfall says "fan calendars, fan art, etc, are distributed freely..."
marissa says "A question for the Dutch publications? After the end of Shardswill
there be more published?"
Goldeye says "I know this is going to sound real nuisancey, but Richard and
Windy Pini, I'm 38 years old now, will be 39 in September......I've been an EQ
fan since I was 17, prolly like a few here as well. I have to admitt especially
to Wendy that her Elf artwork has greatly inspired my own portrait art work and
character sketching over the long years and I truly want to give all credit
where credit is due."
Tavie says "It's best to have a standard policy and stick to it even if it
sometimes seems unreasonable, I think. You start setting precedents and it's
hard to get untangled."
Frozzie can't keep up
Zarah says "What's the frozenrain site again? My Mush program crashed.."
Fairlight says "Elfquest is definately a mentor to me, to jump into the subject
of the interview. I'm 25 in June 28..."
findorus says "Wendy, on the radio interview earlier did you mean it when you
said that that one guy, Timothy from Albuquerque, NM, sounded like Cutter is
that what he is ment to sound like? for Real?"
Traest says "Also, to answer a question the Pini's got asked on the interviews,
we have people online from at LEAST the following countries: Germany,
Netherlands, Norway, Austria, Malaysia, Japan, UK, Finland, and the USA."
Gem says "I'd just like to thank Elfquest for helping me survive High School."
ELFQUEST says "Nightfall, it doesn't always have to do with money, but also with
the value of the copyright itself, that's all."
ederwink says "Question to Richard. did you take a copyright class or somthing
of that sort?"
Frozzie says "this http://frozenrain.sa-af.com"
Zarah says "Thank you!"
marissa says "Richard knows how much Elfquest changed my life ;)"
Savah says "Canada too."
Reed nods from her branch, wholeheartedly about the inspiration and mentorship.
Aroree has arrived.
Kaer says "One has to, ederwink. ;)"
Tavie says "I wonder where my Swedish friends are."
Schaduwlach says "I must say something from my little sister :p well Hello :p"
Gem says "There is tons on the net about copyrights...even government pages."
ELFQUEST says "Wendy says, Timothy had a tonal quality both masculine and
youthful that I picked up on, but no, he's not exactly Cutter."
Reed hops out of ooc
Antonie says "i'm NOrwegian :)"
Wolfpup says "tavie, I think they are in sweden"
Frozzie says "yeah, i've seen a whole lot of them... i've bookmarked the
clearest ones"
Rikkert says "I ask because i personally feel that in the latest dutch albums
the pages just don't look as good as they used to. Asi they are torn apart"
Moonwalker has disconnected.
Tavie says "Not the same. ;)"
ELFQUEST says "Welcome, world!!!"
Tavie sticks her tongue out at Wolfpup.
Antonie says "no, even better!! :)"
Wolfpup laughs at Tavie
Blackbird says "thankt"
ELFQUEST says "Ederwink, no, but I've had to learn it all very quickly and
thoroughly."
LegendaryShannon says "COPYRIGHT In America, you have to actively protect a
copyright to keep it, so Warp Graphics is required by law to warn people against
production and distribution of fanart."
Kaer says "A necessity, I'm afraid."
veli says "any plans of getting published in Japan?"
Zarah falls over, "My cookies!"
Zarah runs
Tavie says "Which they do."
marissa says "What news about the movie is there?"
Leila wants to see Japese Preserver fonts! *snicker*
SparkDance says "EQ you might have already had this question but whihs your fav
graphic novel?"
Leila says "Japanese."
ederwink says "shannon, coool!"
Antonielaughs at Zarah
Malandor says "Is fan-art subject to copyright, or is it just making skins, etc.
from actual Elfquest source material?"
Schaduwlach says "My sister want's from me that I say: Who likes Skywise?"
Tavie says "Japan has enough comics."
ELFQUEST says "Veli, we would LOVE to be published in Japan."
Tavie giggles.
findorus says "well I have to go, it has been a pleasure meeting you and I hope
to be on later tonight. I have to go meet my Lovemate for Lunch"
marissa says "I like Skywise"
Gem says "Skywise is the best of the elves."
Nienke says "Me too!"
Rikkert says "Is Wendy here by the way? Or anybody else of the EQ team?"
Wolfpup says "bye Findorus"
Nightfall says "actually, elfquest would be interesting in manga form..."
findorus has disconnected.
Tavie says "Who DOESN'T like Skywise?"
ederwink jumps up and down and says "me me me. i love skywise!"
Blackbird says "skywise is cute :-)"
Gem says "I've seen some Elfquest inspired manga."
LegendaryShannon says "COPYRIGHT Malandor, it is not the fanart but the
distribution of it to others that is illegal."
marissa says "Elfquest is interesting any way!"
Schaduwlach says "Skywise is my favorite(ore something;p)"
Fairlight plugs the Skywise Appreciation Society at http://gazers.discobunny.com
Aroree is inordinately fond of SKywise herself, but that goes without saying.
*ehhem*
Frozzie i'm more of a pike fan, sorry ;)
Wolfpup says "skywise snorks me off sometimes."
ELFQUEST says "Malandor, copyright is a bit complex, and is tied in with
trademark law as well. Here's not the place to get into a major discussion."
ELFQUEST says "Rikkert, it's Wendy and Richard."
Reed puts her two votes in for Strongbow and Redlance in that order. Clearbrook
my fav. female with Moonshade next
Gem says "Wendy, what were you like as a teenager?"
ELFQUEST says "Nightfall, keep your eyes open! ;)"
Nightfall says "Actually, last i checked, free distribution walks the line. paid
distribution is illegal...it's a similar situation one finds when dealing with
fansubs of anime."
Tavie says "Now, now. There's no need to pick your favourite Helen..."
Schaduwlach says "Pike is cute too :p"
Nightfall chuckles.
Antonielaughs at Gems question
marissa says "Now I finally have a change at communicating with Wendy as well!"
Fairlight invokes Alan's Axiom in which No Discussion can withstand discussion
of copright and remain interesting.
SparkDance sh
rosannez says "I like Ember best"
IceFire has connected.
LegendaryShannon says "Nightfall, it's all pretty complex."
Wolfpup snickers at Fairlight
SparkDance likes One-Eye
Fairlight says "I just made it up"
Goldeye likes them all.
ELFQUEST says "Gem, Wendy says younger, and cute, and somewhat of a loner."
veli says "The copy of 'Essential Elfquest' I bought from ebay.de was listed as
"English Manga"..."
Gem says "Did you always draw?"
Frozzie says "question to Elfquest: please enlighten us about the movie ;)"
Wolfpup says ""english manga"?"
Fairlight says "You could call it 'manglish;"
Exile says "I'm oldfashioned, would just like more comics in the EQ universe."
Neko says hello to Elfquest.
Frozzie says "i still don't know anything"
SparkDance laughs
Tavie says "Heh, that's cute."
Reed again nods her agreement about being a loner
ELFQUEST says "LegendaryShannon, thanks for the assist!"
Wolfpup says ""Manglish? I thought that's what's spoken online""
marissa says "I wouldn't classify Elfquest as manga... it's a complete unique
style!"
LegendaryShannon says "Wendy, did I tell you it's me Audry?"
Schaduwlach says "Wendy who' s you're fav. charcter ? ( ore something (Kirsten)"
Antonie says "I wish there were more comics like EQ..."
Gem says "I was loner, too. But only one in redneck TN who had ever heard of an
elf."
Guest2 has left.
ELFQUEST says "Gem, always, since I was two years old."
Reed says "always feeling different...set apart from others around me""
Nightfall says "Info on the movie is at the website."
LegendaryShannon says "Wendy, tell them how you were influenced by manga 25
years ago!"
Antonieagrees with Marissa
Tavie says "Manglish is what they speak on that show with Jimmy Kimmel and Adam
Corolla."
Rikkert says "Question: Except for the movie ofcourse, what are your future
dreams / goals? What way would you like to go?"
Aroree has left.
marissa says "thanks antonie"
Gem says "How did Richard and you meet?"
Thorn has arrived.
Fallblossom has connected.
Fairlight says "I'd call Elfquest pre-raphaelite. The principle of delicate
strength and idealization is just the same.""
Nightfall says "english manga can still be manga. It's the style of it that
makes it manga...(speaking as a sad sad anime/manga club president)"
Nienke says "EQ, what do you think of online holts? Would you join one if you
didn't wrote EQ?"
ELFQUEST says "Legend, not so much by manga, but by anime, which at that time
was very difficult to come by."
ELFQUEST says "Gem, in the pages of a comic book."
Wolfpup says "go speed racer go!"
veli says "gem: Wendy wrote a letter to Silver Surfer"
Gem says "Good Answer!"
rosannez says "Cool question, Nienke!"
Frozzie wants to know what nienke asks too
marissa says "We all know the story.."
Antoniesmiles at Fairlight's academic thoughts... and agrees
marissa says "Very romantic!"
Tavie says "That's legendary, that letter. I love modern folklore."
Zarah likes Zarhan Fastfire
Gem says "Not all of us know story."
veli says "Stuff of legends"
Tavie says "Tell it again, Grampa..."
Nienkegrin
Savah wonders if either of you ever attend anime cons for fun?
marissa says "sigh..."
Neko says "25 years ago? Speed racer was about the only anime. :)"
ELFQUEST says "Fairlight, Wendy says Pre-Raphaelite gene-spliced with Jack
Kirby."
IceFire has disconnected.
Savah says "25 years ago? just speed racer? not bloody likely."
Kaer chuckles.
Tavie says "What's the most annoying question you're consistently asked by
fans?"
newdad has disconnected.
Fairlight says "Not really academic. The thing I love most about Wendy's art is
its presence. It emotes, it lives, it sits there like a glorious thing and
prohibits "Academic" thought until the book is closed."
IceFire has connected.
Gem says "I'm going to guess about the movie."
Frozzie says "hahahaha :D"
ELFQUEST says "If you want to know more about EQ and manga, go to
www.sequentialtart.com - there's a great article there about EQ as America's
first manga."
Blackbirdthinks all elves are cutsay lol
Exile oohs at the URL.
Tavie says "No, don't label it manga. If my sister can decide that I've been
reading manga all these years I'll never live it down."
Blackbird says "lol, i thought i had deleted that sentence"
Antonie says "Fairlight, agreed..."
ELFQUEST says "Tavie, it is Where's the movie? We wish we could move faster, but
what is, is."
veli says "was "A Gajin in Mangaland" finished?"
Goldeye says "I wouldn't call them cutesy, but definitely refined"
LegendaryShannon says "Fairlight, great description"
ederwink says "blackbird, not all elves are cutsy. look at poison elves"
marissa says "hahaha, tavie"
Eladamri has disconnected.
Savah says "nothing wrong with manga!"
marissa says "I love read and live manga"
Blackbird says "poison elves?"
marissa says "I breathe manga, and draw it"
Blackbird says "I dont know about them"
Tavie says "I know. It's a personal grudge I have about my sister's japanization
of everything in her life. I tend to overreact. ;)"
SparkDance looks onfused? poison?
Wolfpup says "there's something cute even about poison elves"
ederwink says "blackbird, its another comic book series"
Solsky says "do you have dates on new books?"
Zarah says "As long as the movie's true to the Elfquest story, I don't care how
long it takes1"
Gem says "I'm not overly fond of Poison Elves, ears are too bloody big."
SparkDance says "i am with Zarah"
Frozzie says "i've read about poison elves in an old stormholt newsletter once,
but it didn't appeal to me"
marissa says "The movie will have to compress the story.."
Goldeye says "here here Zarah!"
ELFQUEST says "Solsky, not just yet other than the 25th anniversary special to
show up at the San Diego con this summer."
Guest2 has left.
Gem says "It doesn't HAVE to compress the story."
marissa says "It's sad... but there's no other way"
Wolfpup says "cute bit Drew Hayes did for the back of that one EQ issue, though"
ELFQUEST says "We'll post news as soon as we have it."
Antonieagrees with Zarah and Goldeye
Fairlight says "poison elves strikes me as more Blair-esque than Pini-esque.
Great giant rabbit joke, thou"
Frozzie doesn't really care if the movie will follow the true EQ story.... I'm
more worried about voices o_O
SparkDance says "it an be long...i don't are how long..its EQ!"
ELFQUEST says "We have a screenplay we love already."
ederwink says "wolfpup, what one comic was that?"
marissa says "I'm curious about the music too"
Kaer says "Voices?"
Blackbird says "me too frozz"
Frozzie says "movies are not the same as books, people should realize that
better"
Wolfpup says "ederwink, don't know the issue #, sorry"
ELFQUEST says "The voices will fit the characters as we hear them."
Gem says "You don't want famous people guys, cost more. New voices, new
spirits...that kind of thing."
Fairlight says "Character is more important than plot. Come now, lads and
lasses, y'know all this...."
Antonie says "will it be a disneyesque type movie with lots of signing?"
Frozzie says "i hope so, i'm very curious :)"
marissa says "Wendy will the animation be anime like?"
Blackbird says "i dont think any voyce would fit :-)"
Zarah thinks Mel Gibson has a nice voice, lol
Goldeye says "I'm curious on who's going to do Cutter KinSeeker:)"
Kier has disconnected.
Schaduwlach says "Frozzie I realized that ;)"
ELFQUEST says "We can't really say more about the movie, or speculate."
rosannez says "Who has read anything of Tara K. Harper?"
Tavie says "Okay, but if Julie Andrews isn't on the cast list, I'm walkin'."
Gem says "Um, I don't think we want a musical."
ELFQUEST says "Tavie, get your walking shoes on."
marissa says "say You really are secretive ;)"
Thorn fears images of a wolfpack up on hindlegs, doing a choreographed number...
Kaer grins, "Mel Gibson for the part of a troll? ;)"
Antonielaughs at Tavie
Savah says "julie andrews can't sing anymore."
Frozzie always imagines the voices to low... I think :D
Blackbird says "LOL"
Zarah says "Hey!no"
Savah says "I think you should try and snag anime voice actors!"
Antonie says "I prefer no singing!"
Kaer says "True."
Tavie sprinkles joke-y emoticons into the preceding statement.
ELFQUEST says "Marissa, it's not because we want to be, but because there are
still many details being worked out that we are not allowed to talk about."
marissa says "there must be songs!"
Antonielaughs at Thorn
Zarah says "Hells no, he ain't no troll!"
Blackbird says "oww nooo"
Wolfpup says "Elfmom, what was your first elfin experience - the thing that
turned you on to elves?"
marissa says "I know, richard, ;)"
Gem says "Please, no Disneyesque. Worked for them for 5 years, if it looks/feels
Disney, I'll cry."
Rikkert says "question: If you could, would you redo a part or a scene of the
whole EQ-saga? Any part that, looking back, didn't come out as you intended"
veli says "an Elfquest-musical???"
Cadence grins at Thorn. " A little can-can number?"
veli panics
Kaer says "Think of it as a stretch for him as an actor"
Riasha has disconnected.
Zarah laughes
Shenshen has arrived.
Goldeye says "oh boy"
marissa says "Wow! you worked for disney??"
ELFQUEST says "Wolfpup, Wendy says as a 5-year old, reading fairy tales
illustrated by Arthur Rackham."
LegendaryShannon says "Movies are very difficult to get off the ground,
especially animated ones. Contracts have to be signed, people hired, work done,
and none of it can be discussed until a project is complete."
Frozzie says "rikkert: interesting question"
Fairlight says "Rackham!!!!!"
Tavie says "Did they give you your soul back all at once or are you still paying
for it in installments?"
Wolfpup says "ahh. Rackham is one of my favorites, too."
Gem says "Nothing too exciting...just at one of their stores...but if you had
heard Three Amigos sung for the 1000th time during Christmas season, you'd
understand."
Tavie says "Three Caballeros."
Kestrel says "Rackham was a wonderful illustrator :) Nice."
Gem says "Yeah, that"
Kaer sighs, "I certainly hope that ElfQuest isn't planning to release
Lucas-style Special Editions of anything they want to rework?"
Tavie fears she has just been busted in a geek test.
Gem says "I hate that movie."
marissa says "Gem, what was it like, working for Disney?"
Suntop is with you there, Gem. Worked for them for 4 years. If I ever have to
hear Goofy singing 'Hot Hot Hot' again, I may jump off the nearest building.
Gem says "Lots of lots of lots of rules"
FireHunter just chuckles and sorries for it:)
ELFQUEST says "Rikkert, when Cutter throws himself in front of the arrow to save
Timmain, she would have done it in one panel instead of two."
rosannez says "question: do you know anything about the books of Tara K.
Harper?"
LegendaryShannon says "Marissa, I worked at Walt Disney World."
Fairlight wonders why everyone is so obsessively interested in Elfquest as a
commodity rather than as a True Story.
Gem says "Suntop! *G* What about I wish I had an Elephant for Christmas!"
marissa says "Wow!"
Rikkert says "Frozzie: Thanks I try to, now that I get the chance to ask them"
Frozzie says "only that? :D"
Snowstorm frankly liked the children's book _A Gift Of Her Own_ as an
educator... but that's just her. "Disney... sigh..."
marissa says "I really like Disney world..."
SparkDance says "okay who here did not work for disney??"
ELFQUEST says "Rosannez, sorry no."
Frozzie can't think of any questions
Kaer notes that side conversations, questions, and chats can be taken to the
Chatter Box as so not to overly spam this chat session.
Tavie says "The world we live in, Fairlight. It's been integrated into our
collective conceptions of storytelling. We want the accompanying McDonald's
figurines."
Leila says "Everyone is welcome to be interested in Elfquest for whatever
reasons drive them personally, Fairlight."
marissa says "Wish my future comic will be a succes"
Frozzie is more into online RPG holts right now
Zarah says "My favorite moment in Elfquest is the fight between Cutter and Rayek
after "Kings of the broken Whell""
Wolfpup says "Elfmom, how do you feel about Maxfield Parrish and Alfonse Mucha?"
Gem says "My favorite moment is when Cutter and Leetah reunite in KoBW"
LegendaryShannon says "As my husband says, everybody works for Disney sooner or
later, and goes home crying."
Frozzie agrees with leila
Kaer says "Any more questions for RIchard or Wendy?"
Savah hasn't. "Just books a million...
Gem says "Shannon is right. I was "let go" because I wanted to get marreid."
Zarah says "Ohh, that's another good part, Gem"
Gem says "married even"
ELFQUEST says "Zarah, Wendy says that's close to her favorite too!"
Tavie says "Just one. If you could be any kind of tree..."
rosannez says "It's just that the second name of the leading character is Ember,
she is bonded to a wolf, has a twin brother and is a healer"
ELFQUEST says "Wolfpup, wow!"
marissa says "I cried with the tales from In all but the Blood"
SparkDance says "my fav part was when.... i dunno"
Frozzie says "my favourite is wehn crescent dies, because i had to cry"
marissa says "Skywise and Cutter together are touching my soul"
Zarah says "What's Wendy's favorite part in Elfquest?"
SparkDance says "i cried too ;("
Gem says "I love Parrish, but Mucha is a bit odd to me."
Coldmist really liked the picture of Cutter as a wodden shadow with his family,
and the wood marked with the counting of Cutter, and as he sends, **You made me
human** .. that was what touched me most, besides from when Rain died
Wolfpup says "Elfmom, are we on the same page here with Great Artists?"
Wolfpup smiles
Tavie says "Last page of book 8. You and the wind, Fahr. Hands-down favourite
set of panels."
Frozzie says "everyone scene that makes me cry, i love"
Wolfpup agrees with Coldmist.
ELFQUEST says "Zarah, Kings of the Broken Wheel"
Gem says "I cry whenever I read that...it just can't be read without tears."
Frozzie says "like when the elves go back to their birth-forest in full circle"
Wolfpup says "that's the most powerful image in all of EQ"
marissa says "I was broken hearted at that woodcut"
Fairlight says "Never heard of either artists myself, pup. WIll have to take a
look!""
SparkDance says "i even ried when Rayek stole Cutters family"
arkady_som has connected.
LegendaryShannon says "Rosannez, what were you saying?"
Wolfpup says "Fairlight, go to the library RIGHT NOW"
Fairlight grins
Fairlight says "I have google"
marissa says "Wendy, what will become of Rayek? He is such a moving character"
Exile says "9.5 was teary-eyes time."
Gem says "What is Wendy's favorite moment in EQ history? *strains to hear*"
Zarah I love the detail you put into your artwork! I get stuck on a page so long
just taking everything in
Frozzie agrees on the wooden puppet part: that was touching
ELFQUEST says "There's an entire genre of illustrators from the turn of the
century - Mucha, Rackham, Dulac, Beardsley, Parrish - that are worth looking
at."
FireHunter nods and agree's it's powerfull!:)
Reed nods solemnly "I thought I'd pass out it was such a shock when I read about
him stealling off with Leetah and the cubs
marissa says "I also but so much detail in a page, I keep on drawing!"
Shenshen says "I'd just like to say thank you to you both Wendy and Richard.
You've made such an impact on me through the ElfQuest stories and the art..
Wendy, you've been an inspiration in my own artwork."
Rikkert says "The whole death of Starjumper gets me every time"
Goldeye wants to hear of Wendy's favourite moments in EQ histrory too
LegendaryShannon says "I know many artists who are fans of Mucha"
ederwink says "oh god i love maxfield parrish"
ELFQUEST says "Marissa, Wendy says she absolutely has his story worked out, and
get out your handkerchiefs!"
Exile echoes Shenshen on that.
Fairlight says "Thanks, Elfquest. I really should update the history piece I
wrote a few years back."
arkady_som says "I finally made it!!! *cheers*"
marissa says "oh dear..."
marissa says "sob sob.. poor Rayek..."
FireHunter says "welcome Arkady:)"
Frozzie gets a tissues beforehand
Tavie says "Are you guys going to just kill off favourite characters when you
decide to stop? Because I'll cry, I really will."
ELFQUEST says "Welcome to all who've joined since my last welcome! :)"
Coldmist just smirks
elfe_danny has connected.
Gem says "Who wants to hear about Rayek! I want more on Skywise! Or even
Clearbrook! Rayek always hogs the limelight!"
Fallblossom says "Question for Richard and Wendy: Does looking back on how long
EQ's been around ever make y'all feel old? :)"
marissa says "Thankyou frozzie"
Tavie says "No elf... must die..."
Tavie says pathetically.
rosannez says "in the books of Tara K. harper the leading characters second name
is Ember, she is bonded to a wolf, has a twin brother and is a healer"
ELFQUEST says "Tavie, didn't you know? They all get run over by a truck."
Tavie runs off in tears!
FireHunter laughs
yanaka has connected.
Zarah falls over and laughes
Exile is scared to hear about handkerchief stories about Rayek. Poor abused Elf!
marissa says "Shut up! Rayek is a very intruiging character!"
arkady_som chuckles Yeah, a big mac truck
ELFQUEST says "Fallblossom, we'll answer after our dose of Geritol."
LegendaryShannon says "EVERYONE let's give Wendy and Richard a Wolfrider's howl
in thanks for everything they've done. On three. One, two..."
elfe_danny says "hello"
Frozzie howls
marissa says "ahoooyaaah"
Gem says "AAAYYYAAOOHHH!"
Neko says "They did that future stuff so they already all died. :P"
rosannez howls
Schaduwlach says "what shall happened to Skywise when Cutter dies?"
LegendaryShannon says "THREE"
Wolfpup says "a Wolff brothers truck, no doubt"
Rikkert says "Question: Wendi and Richard, what do you like to read?"
Zarah says "AAAYYYAAOOOHH!!""
Goldeye howls AAAYYYAAAOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Fairlight says "Q: Is there a single panel or work of art that Wendy is most
proud of? Or, perhaps, an issue or GN..?"
arkady_som grrrrs ;)
Savah claps...
Tavie says "Uh oh, you asked the 'old' question. How about: how does it feel to
have your fan base stay so young?"
Schaduwlach says "Ayyyyyoooooooooooaaaah!"
ederwink says "ayooooooooooh!!!!!!"
IceFire says "AAAYYYAAOOHHH!"
ELFQUEST says "Rosannez, Oh???"
marissa says ""
Zarah HOWLS
veli kicks chat
LegendaryShannon says "Ayoooooooohaaaa!"
Shenshen lets go with a pretty good howl.. "She's been practicing since living
with Cutter's tribe."
Kaer doesn't howl but manages a decent Cat Elf rrowr in his own fashion.
Frozzie says "hehehe :)"
FireHunter AAAAAAAyoooooOOOOOOoooOOOAAAaaaaHHHHAahhhhhhAASSS:)
Antonie says "AYOOOOOOOOOAH YOUUOA YOUUUU!"
SparkDance says "AAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAHH!"
marissa says "Ahjoooha"
Gem says "Don't ever say they are dead...that's bad karma!"
Zarah says "I sound like a dying dog, sorry"
Nightfall says "Ayoooah!"
Rahna rrrrowrs!
Fairlight says "Achoo, Ah!""
marissa says "that was dry.."
Tavie says "'Ey, you. Uh..."
Frozzie says "i've got a cold, sorry :D"
Reed agrees with Gem. "Clearbrook rocks"
Kaer says "Zarah, don't make me think of 'Ol Yeller'"
Flashfire has arrived.
SparkDance says "if they all get run over we'd have elf pancakes!"
ELFQUEST says "Schad, that's a very powerful story yet to come."
Coldmist hugs Flashfire
ederwink says "ah that howl cleared the senses"
Zarah giggles
arkady_som says "Clearbook has to be one of my favorite characters"
rosannez says "I don't know if it's obvious, cause I cant find anybody who has
read elfquest and Tara K. Harper"
ELFQUEST says "Rikkert, a little bit of everything. Right now, the TV Guide."
LegendaryShannon says "Thank you Rosannez for repeating that."
Thorn fails to howl, but looms quite effectively in the background
Reed waves at Flashfire from where she sits in her tree
Riasha has connected.
Flashfire greets.
rosannez says "it's really something very different"
ELFQUEST says "Tavie, we're all getting older, one day every 24 hours."
marissa says "Hi Riasha"
Antonie says "WaRP, when are you coming to Europe??"
Frozzie says "i'm missing questions o_O and i do read the answers"
rosannez says "but it struck me"
Schaduwlach says "*lol*"
Nienke has reconnected.
marissa says "yes! come to europe"
Nienke has partially disconnected.
Prior has arrived.
Tavie says "I don't want to get old. Someone remove my wolf blood."
marissa says "Please stop at Holland!"
Flashfire flops down on a pile of furs and gets comfy-like.
Rikkert says "Wendi and Richard, what do you like to read?"
SparkDance says "someonegive me wolf blood!"
Frozzie says "marissa = dutch?"
Cadence is a sea-elf, no howling here
Rikkert says "Question part 2: Ok then, what do you like to watch?"
Tavie says "Better say Tara K. Harper or we'll never get out of here."
ELFQUEST says "Antonie, when some nice publisher buys our tickets and all the
rest!"
elfe_danny says "spricht jemand deutsch"
Fairlight thinks Riks question is a good one...
Skywise grins.
Kestrel says "I've noted it as well, rosannez - but never read the books. Two
mooned world, right?"
Gem says "Ohh, here's a good question...If a train is leaving a station at 500
mph and another train is leaving in the opposite direction at 600 mph....Oh
wait, wrong chat! Ha! Seriously, I think this is awesome! I've never been able
to "meet""
veli says "ja"
Antonieracks her brain for nice publisher-friends...
marissa says "Alright! I'll try to work on your tickets!"
arkady_som says "You really don't want wolf blood... makes you crave doggie food
:P"
FireHunter thinks they said they just need the right insentive, and financial
aiding would probably be a good one:)
Rillwhisper has read Tara K. Harper's books and never got Elfquest vibes off of
them.
Kaer takes up a collection for the Pinis and starts jingling a can full of
quarters.
ELFQUEST says "Wendy asks, why do so many people misspell her name?"
Gem says ""meet" you, but now I can at least say I "sort of did""
arkady_som says "LMFAO"
Kaer says "Do we?"
marissa says "What who?"
Tavie says "Never read Peter Pan?"
rosannez says "No, i dont think its a two mooned world"
Frozzie says "I don't misspell :)"
ederwink says "whos name? wendy's?"
Guest2 has left.
Guest3 has left.
veli says "they mix her up with Wendi Strang-Frost?"
Schaduwlach says "do we? :s"
Goldeye think it's more typoes than anything else
Leila says "I've seen Wendi, WIndy... I don't know. One would think "Wendy" is
pretty straightforward, as far as names go."
FireHunter says "not all fans are adult probably?:)"
marissa says "Who msay Wendy."
Reed blinks. "Whoes name?"
SparkDance says "typos..i agree"
Antonie says "I think its usually spelled Wendi in German?"
elfe_danny says "hallo veli"
Kaer looks puzzled, "I would think so too."
Gem says "I pronounce your name wrong. Penny...not PI-NI"
Frozzie says "Y is most common to me o_O"
Wolfpup says "could be a language t hing."
LegendaryShannon says "she's definitely a Wendy-lady"
Reed says "ahhhhhhhh"
Kaer says "Possibly."
Tavie says "I don't understand why everyone mispronounces Pini. I really don't."
marissa says "ahhahaha"
Savah giggles. "Wendy lady..."
Fairlight says "I thought, for many years, it was 'Piney""
Fallblossom says "It's because Wendy is so cute, everyone thinks that 'y' isn't
cute enough?"
Tavie says "It doesn't make any sense."
Guest2 has arrived.
Gem says "Maybe they want her to have an Elfquesty name."
Reed says "my rl name has been mispelled so many ways"
Schaduwlach says "I alway's say "Wendy""
Savah blehs and needs to wash her tuna lunch of her hands.
SparkDance is with Reed
marissa says "Me too!"
Antonie says "Reed- so has mine - it's pronounced AntoniA!"
Frozzie says "my name is always pronounced wrong, even by dutchies o_IO"
LegendaryShannon won't even go into her name
Goldeye looks at the Pini's..........."boggled yet?"
Tavie says "Just don't rhyme me with 'savvy' and we're friends."
Antonie says "Frozzie - ditto! :)"
ELFQUEST says "Replying to an earlier question, who has time for TV???"
arkady_som says "The idea of watching Savah washing tuna off her hands is
somewhat odd"
marissa says "Try and pronounce my name: Marissa Delbressine.,"
Blackbird says "what do you mean aasay arg... why cant I just type normal"
Reed grins down at Antonie
veli says "Brandon McKinney will come to Germany. ^_^"
Fairlight says "What was the most rewarding part of working on Elfquest. "All of
it"? :)"
rosannez says "Everybody wants to spell it like rozanne or rossanne, weird"
Blackbird has disconnected.
SparkDance laughs at tavie
Blackbird has connected.
ELFQUEST says "Basically, you're right, Fairlight - as well as what were the
most frustrating parts."
Gem says "Oh, here is a new question: Any new pets?"
LegendaryShannon says "Wendy/Richard, a good question asked was what do you
read?"
ELFQUEST says "Gem, just the one pomeranian, still."
FireHunter chuckles
ELFQUEST says "We answered that."
Rikkert says "so you just read the tv.guide to keep informd on all the tvshows
you are unable to watch due to lack of timen ;)"
Flashfire has reconnected.
Leila says "ut tastefully skipped the toilets, I notice. ;)"
Frozzie mostly reads, since she can't even keep up with that ;D
marissa says "Wendy, Richard, do you ever come to these rooms on other
occasions?"
ELFQUEST says "Rikkert, yes, it's an exercise in self-control! :)"
LegendaryShannon can't believe she's getting lost in a chat room.
SparkDance is with Frozzie..people type tooo fast..;)
Gem says "I doubt they'd admit it if they did marissa...after today..hehe."
Coldmist smiles at Shannon
ELFQUEST says "marissa, it'"
marissa says "yes..."
Flashfire has partially disconnected.
Antonie says "Wendy & RIchard, are you being innundated with hopeful artists who
want to draw for WaRP? I'm not about to, but i'm asking for a friend who
might... :)"
Frozzie says "lol at legendaryshannon ;)"
Zarah wonders if an elf has ever skied
Gem says "I watch Buffy, I don't miss Buffy, but that's about it."
Rikkert says "Hmmm, maybe I shoul d try it"
Reed says "I'll have to tell my daughter that. She loves dogs but I'm very
allergic to them. We do have a house rabbit, Tucker. He looks just like the
bun-bun Amber has in the Raft tribe here. :)"
ELFQUEST says "Marissa, it's possible but as we can all see, it takes a lot of
time!"
Suntop does wonder, Elfquest, if you had any notion when you first started the
comics, that it would grow so much, spanning toys, movie deals, and an
international fan-base?
marissa says "The fans really appreciate it."
arkady_som says "I got a question... when will we see more of the "interactions"
between Timmain and Skywise?"
Fairlight says "Elfquest had some big legal battles over the years. Do you
regret the wrangles that self-ownership can attract - or perhaps see it as part
of the ups and downs of having creative control?"
Tavie says "I just read about house rabbits. I had no idea this was a common
thing. Now i want a house rabbit."
ELFQUEST says "Antonie, yes we do get submissions by email and snailmail a lot."
Frozzie says "dutch tv is crap, sooo... not much to watch :)"
Blackbird won:wonders if she can type now
ederwink says "I usually whatch some TV but i never miss The Simpsons or Conan
O'Brien"
Flashfire would just have one suggestion: More Timmorn stories ;) Young, old,
whenever.
Kaer says "Let's let them answer a few questions before asking more."
Goldeye says "Richard and Wendy, did you ever adopt another wolf after the one
you had adopted passed away?"
SparkDance says "who wants to watch TV when you have EQ?!?!?!"
Blackbird says "wow"
Nienke says "Frozzie you don't like GTST :P?"
marissa says "Only the anime series on dutch tv are nice sometimes."
ELFQUEST says "Suntop, no, we really only wanted to tell the story and not go
broke doing it."
arkady_som says "Didn't Dutch TV have a series a while ago called "The Kingdom"?
I loved that show..."
Rikkert says "QUESTION: Did the recording of the radioshow go well this time
(and will it be on the website asis the first part?"
Zarah says "Timmorn!! I want to know more about him too"
elfe_danny says "Hallo yanaka!"
Gem says "I've been to a wolf farm in Alaska...I don't agree with them.
*sniffs*"
Frozzie spits on GTST
Tavie says "Elfquest has maintained a great web presence. I really appreciate
that, as a fan."
IceFire says "gtst Blegh!"
Blackbird says "lol"
Schaduwlach says "GTST???? *ulllggh*"
Antonie says "arkady, The Kingdom is a brilliant Danish mini-series by Lars von
Trier"
SparkDance says "GEM ARE YOU SAYING UR ALLERGIC TO WOLVES??"
Wolfpup says "not that I'm counting, but that's like 4 of us that are Timmorn
fans."
Frozzie says "dutch television creatord have bad taste ;D"
marissaspits on gtst too
ELFQUEST says "Arkady, simply giggle giggle snarf wink."
Rillwhisper slips out. Can't keep up with the chat, folks, and I've got to do
staff stuff. :)
Gem says "No, I'm saying I don't like seeing Wolves in cages and tied up for
tourists"
Goldeye says "only four?"
Rillwhisper has left.
marissa says "ooohhh, poor wolfies!"
Guest2 has disconnected.
SparkDance says "ooooohhh i was misunderstood"
Fairlight says "Question: Are you surpised by the creativity of Elfquest's
fans?"
ELFQUEST says "Fairlight, we don't regret anything. We've learned from all of
the wrangles."
arkady_som says "Thats not funny R/W LOL"
Frozzie says "no, i like timmorn too, but he's just not my favourite :)"
Fallblossom has disconnected.
ELFQUEST says "Goldeye, the Wolf PArk has kindly let us keep adopting Betsy's
children and grandchildren."
LegendaryShannon says "Antonie it never hurts to submit a portfolio or have one
online, but it really helps if you apply for *any* comic job if you include
something OTHER than fan art."
rosannez says "British series are cool"
FireHunter says "the Text novels realy are great with teh emotional aspect of an
elfs mind, all the mention of timmorn jsut braught that to mind, ok i'm done:)"
LegendaryShannon says "Antonie con't it's important to show any potential
employer that you can do life drawings, for example."
Schaduwlach says "Uhm Why are the Wolfriders"
ELFQUEST says "Rikkert, yes, it went well, and will be on the site eventually."
Schaduwlach says "uhm bagger"
Tavie says "Why ARE the Wolfriders? Good question."
veli's favourites are Bearclaw and Scorch
Tavie giggles
Antonie says "cheers, Shannon! I'm actually happy being a hobby-level artist,
but I completely agree... And I do other stuff than fan art!"
marissa says "I wouldn't want to work for others... I want to draw my own
tales... sigh.."
Goldeye says "yes sweet! My own daughter lost her Wolf she adopted, I think at
the same park, and they've placed her fundings towards her wolf's siblings."
ELFQUEST says "Fairlight, always."
Gem says "Marissa...you usually have to work for others before you get a
following of your own."
Frozzie is busy with her own port folio
SparkDance says "i have a near-wolf"
Frozzie says "or else i'll never get started"
marissa says "I know that..."
Schaduwlach says "aaargh ik kan niet meer typen :s"
marissa says "rustig maar"
Blackbird says "youre not the only one schduwlach"
marissa says "I'm talking with a producer right now..."
Rikkert says "Great, because the first part was really interesting. Not living
in the states I raerly get a chance to get some direct info from you"
Kaer quietly slips out to be more available for tribal questions but will be
back later with more smart aleck questions. ;)
Antonie says "Frozzie if you ever publish, you MUST let me know!!!"
LegendaryShannon says "Marissa, it's still good to have a portfolio."
Reed writes stories for the holt WindHowl. I envy the illustrators and they envy
my stories.
Kaer has left.
Gem says "Richard, I was astonished to find out you were a teacher. How long did
you teach?"
marissa says "He may want to publish my work."
Tavie says "Everyone read Henry Jenkins' _Textual Poachers_. Great book about
the creativity and active nature of fandom."
Frozzie says "antonie: you'll probably one of the first to know ;)"
ELFQUEST says "Gem, I taught high-school astronomy for 4 years. Only seemed like
8..."
Snowstorm bows out to go RP! "Ja ne, meenah!"
Fairlight says "Question. There's a scene toward the end of Bakshi's 'Wizards'
that's blatantly packed with Wolfriders. Is there a scientific explanation? ;)"
marissa says "Legendary shannon... thanks."
ELFQUEST says "Tavie, yes, it's a wonderful book."
Gem says "I've been teaching 2 years, it feels like 4...so I understand."
Felerian has disconnected.
Wolfpup says "and Richard is wise about many things, not just the sky"
Rikkert says "QUESTION Will elfquest go back to the comic-format in the
forseeable future?"
Snowstorm bows to Elfquest, "Arigato Gozarimashita!"
Snowstorm has left.
Shaevairc says "as Mercedes Lackey wrote some of the WR songs, do you have
connections to her?"
LegendaryShannon says "Marissa, working for others is a good start, but
especially it's an opportunity to improve your skill so that when you do YOUR
stuff, it's really good."
Reed says "Oh the songs!"
Flashfire tries in vain to follow the non-English stuff. Not working.
Nightfall blehs. "Good books, somewhat sorry fan personality.
Antonieused to love the Mercedes Lackey Valdemar series
ELFQUEST says "Snow, doo itashimashita!"
Schaduwlach says "why are the wolfriders become the wolfriders, and not,"
Zarah says "Wendy, how did you develop your skills as an artist?"
ELFQUEST says "Rikkert, there are plans for some changes."
marissa says "thanks Shannon"
Tavie says "And any creators that can recognize the positive effect that fandom
has on people, and has a good attitude and generous nature toward their fans,
that makes me love them all the more."
ELFQUEST says "Shae, we used to, but not for a long while now."
Gem says "I know that at my comic shop, I tell them anything that comes in with
EQ on it, I want it...but nothing ever does. I miss the old days of a comic a
month."
Reed says "I never thought much of them till I finally asked for it as a
christmas present from my family. I never have stopped listening to it since."
marissa says "Shannon, do you draw too?"
ELFQUEST says "Zarah, look into eq.com, in the interviews section. Lots of good
stuff there."
Zarah says "Oh! Thank you"
LegendaryShannon says "Marissa, I'm a writer, but I know comic people :-)"
Fairlight says "The magazine-sized format got a lot of good press, didnt it?
Would an "Elfquest" magazine perhaps be one possibility?"
IceFire says ":)"
Fairlight says "mixing old and new stories"
Schaduwlach says "why are Wolfriders the "Wolfriders" and not, for example the
"Snakeriders" ?"
Nienke says "question: Do you have a favourite character to draw?"
SparkDance says "EQ...why did you pick elves?"
Nightfall waves out for her hunt. ayooah.
Gem says "Oh, a mag format woudl be awesome"
Nightfall has left.
ELFQUEST says "Legendary does know, yes. ;)"
Schaduwlach says "*lol*"
marissa says "Richard, remind me to send you the animation of my clip"
Tavie says "Let's mix it up a bit; does RICHARD have a favourite character to
draw?"
Gem says "Skywise!"
arkady_som says "Ewwwww.... not snakes!!! Gods I would go crazy"
Suntop waves out as well. Thank you for lending us your time and patience,
Elfquest.
ELFQUEST says "Nienke, Wendy says lately it's Strongbow - has a new costume she
really digs. :)"
Zarah says "Does anyone know if there are any Elfquest Oekaki boards out there?"
Skywise says "Me. ;)"
Flashfire says "Marissa, I'd bet he's swamped. Might want to write it down
yourself ;)"
LegendaryShannon says "go Tavie!"
Fairlight says "Isn't Richard an airbrush wizard?"
Antonielaughs at Tavie's question but then wonders if Richard maybe draws
secretly at night?
ELFQUEST says "Spark, because they are both human and 'other' which makes them
fascinating."
Tavie says "Everyone draws, even if it's just phone doodles."
Frozzie says "QUESTION: are they wolfriders because wendy was good at drawing
wolves, or did wendy GET good at drawing wolves, because they're wolfriders?"
marissa says "Heh, youre right flashfire"
ELFQUEST says "Tavie, yes, a paycheck."
Tavie says "Just like everyone sings, even if they're not all that fat guy with
the beard on tv."
Tavie says "Bad um bum!"
Fairlight says "Question for Richard: You've written a lot of Elfquest prose
stories. Do you have any plans to write any other fiction, perhaps a science
fiction novel?""
LegendaryShannon says "Let's all remember that while Wendy drew, Richard did
some pretty tough self-publishing stuff. Yay for Richard!"
ELFQUEST says "Fairlight, I used to be. Might still be,."
Schaduwlach says "Snakes are very lovely *grmbl*"
Blackbird says "lol"
Gem says "Let's not have them writing other stuff! Just more Elfquest stuff!
Yikes! We will never get more Wendy stories that way, if they do other stuff."
marissa says "Winnonwill?"
Antonielaughs at Frozzie's wolf-drawing question
ELFQUEST says "Frozzie, Wendy says no, the wolves originally looked like busses.
We wanted wolves because they are so social."
SparkDance says "snakes?lovely??you've had too much dreamberry wine.. :)"
Gem says "I own two snakes, but I'd still step on Winnowill if I could."
Frozzie says "antonie: well, i've always wondered :)"
Docfur has connected.
Tavie says "Do people tend to minimize Richard's creative contribution, or does
the balance that we perceive between the business and the creative aspects of
your job mirror the reality?"
marissa says "busses?"
Suntop has left.
Frozzie says "thanks richard :)"
Docfur is back
Antonielaught out loud at the idea of wolf-buses
Fairlight liked the bus wolves like he liked stocky wolfriders and gobacks. They
trampled the humans and took the kids to school as well.
Docfur says "oh crap. I'm back just as the session ends"
marissa says "hi docfur"
ELFQUEST says "No, no plans for other writing, says Richard."
Docfur says "hi"
Frozzie laughs at antonie
LegendaryShannon says "Richard is a writer and a good one!"
Savah says "EQ, met sonny straight and he drew skywise for me. Cool guy!"
Reed rolls her eyes as her daughter comes in from school and says "How do you
know that's Wendy and Richard?" gave up the futile attempt to explain it to one
with mind set already. she's my girl alright
Goldeye says "yes he is........."
marissa joins Antonie, rolling over the floor
SparkDance says "yea!! docfur!!"
Schaduwlach says "Winnowill can be lovely aswell :)"
ELFQUEST says "Tavie, we think what you see mirrors reality pretty well."
Tavie says "Bad jokes. It HAS to be them."
Rikkert says "QUESTION: Are you two still living at different sides of the USA?"
Flashfire says "That's proof enough, Tavie."
Zarah sighs
ELFQUEST says "Reed, you tell her we said so!!"
marissa says "I hope Richard and Wendy can spent enough time together"
LegendaryShannon says "Reed, tell her because the announcement for this chat was
made on elfquest.com, which is RUN by Richard/Wendy."
Wolfpup says "yes, Richard loves to pun-ish us"
Antoniehas to go now...
Flashfire can always appreciate the joke that's good enough to get slugged in
the shoulder for it.
marissa says "bye Antonie"
ELFQUEST says "Rikkert, we're back and forth a whole lot."
veli says "Shouldn't it be parents criticizing the fan-activities of their
children'' ;)"
Zarahwaves bye to Antoniehas
arkady_som says "PLEASE don't get Richard started on the puns... PLEASE!!! ;)"
Traest can verify at the least Elfquest is being driven by someone answering
rpini@elfquest.com email. :)
Reed grins and does just that. *grins big*
Antonie says "Bye everyone, and thank you, WaRP for 25 years of great
adventures!!"
Tavie says "Bye Antonie"
Frozzie waves to antonie
edfrogz has connected.
Fairlight says "Tata ant"
Gem says "Do you ever just want to hide, Wendy and you? I mean like Vonnegut? I
mean, I don't want you, too...but you seem so tireless."
Guest2 has left.
Frozzie says "erin!"
Antonie has disconnected.
Zarah says "Hi edfrogz, remeber me?"
ELFQUEST says "Gem, every **** day!"
Shenshen slips out and waves, "Once again, thank you Wendy and Richard.. I'm so
glad you didn't become a hairdresser, Wendy."
Frozzie points at herself "it's afke" ;D
Zarah shakes head at bad spelling errors
marissa says "bye"
Zarah bye
SparkDance says "bye marissa"
edfrogz says "hello"
Shenshen goes home.
Shenshen has left.
Skywise follows after Shenshen. ;)
eqfanart says "afke, erin!"
LegendaryShannon pictures Wendy as a midwestern hairdresser gabbing the latest
gossip...yikes!
Skywise has left.
marissa says "I'll be back for the next chat.."
Tavie says "DO you ever hide? Is there some sort of secret island that we can
publish and distribute the address to?"
Gem says "Wendy and Richard...you are VERY important people. Today was evidence
of that enough, but if you ever doubt if it is worth it, remember us."
Wolfpup says "was there a chance of Wendy becoming a hairdresser?"
Reed nods in agreement with Shenshen
Wolfpup boggles
Suntopp has connected.

marissa has disconnected.
Frozzie waves at amanda
elfe_danny says "Wendy and Richard, would you be so pleased to give me your
E-Mail adress?"
ELFQUEST says "We are on for a little longer, you know."
Fairlight says "Of course, Wendy's current job lets her be haurstylist, fashion
guru, makeup artist...."
Rikkert says "QUESTION: It must have been a straign on your relationship, all
that distance. Chatting wit someone is still different from holding them in your
arms. Would you say it has changed you, and if so, How?"
veli says "she said so in the interview"
edfrogz says "i am trying this out give me time it's weird"
ELFQUEST says "Anyone can write to 'elfquest@elfquest.com'"
eqfanart waves back
ELFQUEST says "We can't promise replies all the time, but we do read
everything."
Frozzie says "erin: it takes some getting used to, yeah"
Tavie says "How much email do you get a day?"
Reed says to Fairlight "Absolutely"
Guest2 has left.
ELFQUEST says "Fairlight, Wendy says 'You got it.'"
arkady_som says "Hey...I remember eqfanart and edfrogz..."
Gem says "I know the first time you replied to me I felt like I'd been granted a
special wish."
Zarah says "me too! I felt the same way"
Reed grins at Gem
ELFQUEST says "Tavie, about 500 emails. 450 of them are spam, though."
FireHunter says "Alot of people are online for lunch and will Posibly be back in
the afternoon more:)"
eqfanart says "Hmmm... is that a good thing? ;)"
edfrogz says "we are acients now"
Tavie says "Sounds like my inbox."
LegendaryShannonlaughs
Guest2 has arrived.

Frozzie says "it's 21:12 h here ;)"
Ren has connected.
IceFire says "eek that's way to much spam"
Fairlight says "450 spam! ARgh!!!!"
Cadence goes home.
Cadence has left.
Goldeye agrees
veli says "21:06"
ELFQUEST says "We'll go for another half hour and see how things are."
Schaduwlach says "21.05 :s"
yanaka says "hi afke nice you are here! i like your art very much! thanx"
arkady_som says "Well, yes its a good thing, because now we can relate
"Brightmetal" back to Elfquest standards ;)"
Neko says "How do you like the Mush?"
FireHunter says "It's 12:07 here;) evenin military;)"
Tavie says "You need to set up a spam filter. Block out everything with the word
'elfquest' in it..."
Guest2 has disconnected.
LegendaryShannon says "remind me to tell you about a spam blocker i recently
used some time"
Frozzie says "hey yanaka: who are you? :)"
Docfur says "QUESTION: is there any plan for a remake of the EQ "NOW" watch?"
ELFQUEST says "Arkady NO brightmetal!!!"
Fairlight says "This question has a potentially high irritant factor, but ....
how is the Tarot deck going?"
Leila loves that watch!
Goldeye says "lol"
Docfur does too
rosannez says "I always wonder what people can write to authors and such, I
would never know anything to write"
Zarah cheers for the Tarot Card
eqfanart Agrees with Elfquest
Flashfire chuckles, remembering the samples from the 1998 SDCC.
ELFQUEST says "Doc, you bet there is."
Reed remembers finder her husbands stash of old comic. All in plastic sleeves
and then the several EQ ones. I told him "You can't just store these here!'
Tavie says "I'll take a regular deck of cards, please. Less trobule to design,
and I wants my solitaire."
Exile says "Ooh, good question. I'd like the Tarot deck!"
Docfur cheers
arkady_som says "GAH! Why does Richard always punish ME?!"
Flashfire says "That year was the first year I got into EQ. Hard to believe it's
been 5 years already since then."
ELFQUEST says "Fairlight, it's on hold in favor of new stories, graphic novel,
etc. says Wendy."
edfrogz says "so anniversary going well today?"
Nienke says "Queestion: I do some computer programming, is there a chance for a
EQ-pc game?"
LegendaryShannon says "rosannez, if you tell them you appreciate their work,
that's more than enough. :-)"
Gem says "Yes, when are those tarot cards coming out?"
Thitida-No-Chey has connected.
Ren says "Yay! New stories!"
Fairlight says "Thanks. Good news is always trumped by better news...!"
Wolfpup says "Wendy & Richard, I've mused many a time that Elfquest, when it
began, was not planned to be so metaphysical, so spiritual, so tied together in
millions of ways. Did you find that the story just fell into place, sort of
predestined as you went along?"
Reed says "cards would be cool. I wish I could have gotten hold of one of the rp
games""
Kestrel wants to thank Wendy and Richard for their time, and bows out.
ELFQUEST says "edfrogz, it's going well, it's being hectic."
Kestrel has left.
Fairlight says ""
edfrogz says ""nods head""
ELFQUEST says "Wolfpup, Wendy says it has gone as it has gone. We just got out
of its way!"
Tavie says "Remember that chick who lived in a tree for a year as a protest? Did
you sue her for copyright infringement?"
SparkDance says "you can find ythe RP game on ebay"
Docfur laughs
Frozzie says "tavie: what was that about?"
ELFQUEST says "Tavie, no, but we'll consider branching out."
Skysilver says "Is it true Wendy would dress up as Red Sonja? I want to see
pictures of Wendy in her Red Sonja dress!"
Gem says "I've seen pictures of that, I think."
yanaka says "to frozzie i'm from germany and read just half an hour ago in a
eqfanart newsletter about this chat to be coming. so here i am"
arkady_som says "Here comes the puns..."
Zarah says "I super glued my ears so they'd be pointy for Halloween.. Are there
any GOOD elfquest type ears out there?""
Frozzie says "skysilver: i saw a photo once :)"
Flashfire says "There's a bad one. Nice."
Tavie says "See, Arkady? I got me some, too."
eqfanart shakes head at the really bad pun
Goldeye says "Richard and Wendy, what was it again that inspired you the most to
come up Elfquest?"
Gem says "Yes, I'd like to beg for a costume shop!"
Flashfire will just leaf that one alone.
Tavie says "I'll take some pictures of Wendy as Red Sonja. Homina."
Frozzie says "yes, i have good ears :)"
LegendaryShannon smiles Ah the Red Sonja years!
arkady_som laughs at Tavie
FireHunter grins yes good elf prostetics:)
ELFQUEST says "Skysilver, someday we'll be happy to post pix of Wendy in Red
Sonja full armor, but it ain't no dress!"
Skysilver says "kewl beans!"
Gem says "I dressed up as Princess Leia for most of my youth. I thought that was
my name."
Schaduwlach says "*lol*"
ELFQUEST says "Zarah, yes, some costume stores have good ears, but they're
called Vulcan ears."
Frozzie laughs at Gem
LegendaryShannonafk
Reed says "with all the talk about plastic surgeries lately ...I've thought
about how good I'd look with points to me ears. ^_^ I do have a disstinct point
on my right ear that is natural"
edfrogz says "are their any characters of EQ you wish you hadn't killed off?"
Rikkert says "Question: Was it hard to make the unnumbered part of DREAMTIME?
It's so personal in an uncamouflaged way."
Frozzie says "i probably have vulcan ears too, but they still work well"
Fairlight says "Make your own ears with nose putty. Get some base and powder.
:>"
Flashfire says "Unfortunately in our society, I think real pointed ears would
make someone too "weird""
Wolfpup says "Elfmom, have you ever changed your view on tattoos?"
Exile says "I hear ear surgery is all the rage after LOTR. More pointy eared
elves."
Guest2 has left.
Tavie says "It's getting way too nerdy in here, now."
Coldmist says "me and my friends ran around in wolfrider costumes in our forest
in my childhood ..."
Tavie says "You've all crossed a line."
rosannez says "I lovee that picture of Leetah as Leia and Luke Skywise"
ELFQUEST says "Rikkert, Wendy says because it was so personal, it wasn't
difficult at all. It was just feeling, and that feels good to get out on paper."
Tavie grins.
Zarah says "I never heard of Vulcan ears before, thanks! It's better then
scratching off old super-glue, lol"
arkady_som says "Legolas....*drool*"
Gem says "Yeah, I don't think I'd alter my body for Elfquest...My students would
laugh to hard at me."
Fairlight says "I think the wonderful thing about our society is that anyone
could walk down an average high street and NOT have anyone look twice at their
pointed ears."
Zarah says "Thanks for the pointy ear tips Fairlight"
Tavie says "What's her view on tattoos?"
SparkDance says "i used to be in love with Legolas and then i found EQ."
FireHunter thinsk you need Larger ears to realy look like a good Elf:)
Flashfire says "Well, out across the bay in San Francisco you could get away
with it ;)"
ELFQUEST says "Wolfpup, Wendy says yes, she's changed her views - after all, she
did sign someone's tattooed butt!"
Tavie says "What was your view?"
Wolfpup laughs
Gem says "I'm in love with Legolas AND Skywise...I'm sure they would get along."
Suntopp says "ewww...signing butts?? lol"
Gem says "Poor Wendy"
arkady_som says "Hey, as long as its clean, its all skin"
SparkDance gag
Wolfpup says "Tavie, Elfmom said in an interview once that she didn't like
tattoos."
Flashfire says "Celebs get asked to sign all sorts of things."
ELFQUEST says "Gem, she says No, it was a very cute butt!"
Tavie says "Tattoos are fun."
Gem says "LOL, well then, that's different!"
Serpent has arrived.
Blackbird says "was it richards? lol"
SparkDance:)
FireHunter ROTFL
Skysilver says "LOL"
Serpent says "Hello all."
ELFQUEST says "I've signed various body parts too, says Richard."
arkady_som says "LMFAO"
yanaka says "hello srepent"
Wolfpup raises an eyebrow
ELFQUEST says "No, Richard has no tattoos. But he knows how to appreciate at
least some of them."
Gem says "If I saw you I promise I'd only ask you to sign my comic"
Flashfire says "QUESTION: So Richard, any more nights like that one at Mother,
or whichever the club was called? ;)"
Tavie laughs!
Reed hangs onto her tree branch and tries not to fall off from all her chortling
Docfur says "Would WARP Consider making high-resolution (1280x1024 down to
800x600) desktop pictures (wallpaper), and releasing them on the website for
download? I understand that issues may exist regarding copyright to a certain
extent, but I would just love to plaster my computer with Elfquest."
Nienke says "I had an EQ tattoo :D well henna *grin*"
ELFQUEST says "Flashfire, none yet."
Flashfire says "Probably safer that way ;)"
Tavie says "There's a KITH line about someone getting the watergate transcripts
tattooed on their back because their lover likes to read in bed. BUt now we're
way off-topic."
Frozzie says "docfur: just scan really really big"
Fairlight says "You know what I"
ELFQUEST says "Docfur, if we can clear various copyright issues, we will."
SparkDance says "yea!!!"
FireHunter Wavers and idles, Be Back Soon
Docfur says "That's awesome! I look forward to it! :D :D :D"
LegendaryShannonwants to see Richard dressed as Elric
Sandstorm has arrived.
Goldeye says "sweet!"
rosannez says "docfur, why dont you just scan some pictures?"
Fairlight says "You know what I'd like to see? An Elfquest BAR, with all the
appropriate accoutrements and design. Like the H.R. Giger bar, but elfy."
ELFQUEST says "Legend, that was long ago and far away, Richard says."
ederwink says "i made an ink elfquest tattoo. but for some reason it washed
away... lol"
Docfur says "because my scanner broke :("
arkady_som agrees with LegendaryShannon
Gem says "I'd just like to see Richard dressed normally. It's so hard being out
in middle of nowhere where comiccons don't exist."
Serpent has left.
Suntopp says "THAT'S a dedicated say great idea fairlight!"
rosannez says "OOhh mine did that too!!"
Tavie says "I'd like to see Richard dressed normally too, but apparently he's
always at a cowboy-boot and string-tie convention."
Ren says "Question: Is there, or is there ever going to be, a pc game for
Elfquest?"
Frozzie loves her scanner and hugs it
FireHunter chuckles it woudl have to be a Troll Brewrey!
Flashfire says "I don't think a Wolfrider Cafe would go over too well. Can't do
raw meat too much. :)"
ELFQUEST says "Gem, well, we will put pix of San Diego on the eq.com web site
when it's time."
Guest2 has left.
Serpent has arrived.
Thitida-No-Chey says "... I'd like to see an EQ pc-game!"
veli says ""Law and Chaos" was beautiful... I'ld really like to buy some of the
new prints, but are they for sale in Germany?"
Frozzie is all for a troll cafe :)
FireHunter says "all bartenders called Old Magotty instead of Bar keep!:)"
ELFQUEST says "Ren, we'd love one, and we're working with people on that."
Tavie says "No, an EQ *Mac* game."
FireHunter eeks ok i'mgone!
Zarah says "me too, Thitida!"
Reed just had a thick rare steak last night
Docfur says "Evil scanners! Hmm! I may just have to ask them about creating an
OS X/WinXP Icon set. Is that possible?"
Gem says "That's not the same Richard. I've only ever wanted to meet a few
famous people. You have always been at top of list. Harrison Ford
second...hehe."
Serpent says "I think I might work on an EQ Morrowind Mod as I said earlier."
LegendaryShannonagrees that Law and Chaos has some gorgeous artwork
ELFQUEST says "Veli, all of Wendy's new prints will be available soon in the EQ
shop online."
Reed says "Red meat it does the body good"
SparkDance says "yep!"
Sandstorm has a silly question just because he's been wondering, "What, exactly,
determines the winner of a challenge like the one that Strongbow and Cutter
had?" It's a mystery to him. :)
Docfur agrees with Tavie wholeheartedly. He wants to play EQ on his Mac
Suntopp says "they're selling fast on e-bay ya know"
Ren says "no not all bodies (sighs at her own)"
Reed says "Got Dreamberries?"
Gem says "I missed the San Deigo Comic Con, 20th anniversary by a DAY! One DAY!
I was with another person and she wouldn't go. *sniffs* I'd only been to San
Deigo once, that once...never again."
Rayek has arrived.
Tavie says "Warp is a Mac-friendly company. That's what makes them so cool. IT's
not the damn elves."
SparkDance says "grr i have to go"
Docfur grins
Savah has left.
SparkDance says "Shade and Sweet Water"
ELFQUEST says "Sandstorm, the same thing that determines the winner or such a
challenge in a wolf pack - there is some quality that makes one superior."
Reed wavies at Rayek from up in her tree
SparkDance has disconnected.
Flashfire says "While a computer game would be cool, it'd be quite an
undertaking."
Coldmist says "Oh, that's a good question anyways .. Who won the Logo Contest?"
Cutter has arrived.
Reed says "yes a computer game..oooooooooooooooo"
Flashfire says "And if you have voice acting, you don't, don't, DON'T want it to
be like the old video ;)"
LegendaryShannon says "Don't waste money buying the new art on Ebay!! It will be
available soon in stores! It's better to buy in stores b/c then they will want
to stock MORE EQ merchandise."
Solsky says "will recognition be out soon its got an isbn"
arkady_som says "An Elfquest computer game would be pointless..."
ELFQUEST says "Flash, that's why we're working through real professional
intermediaries."
Gem says "Yeah, the ebay art is too expensive."
Thitida-No-Chey says "...EQ computer game ala Super Mario Bros... ?"
Tavie says "All computer games are pointless."
ELFQUEST says "Coldmist, I couldn't decide so all the finalists won!"
Gem says "I like the one with Fire in it best."
Shaevairc says "*lol*"
Serpent says "I've got another question....how is it that the Wolfriders could
fight like 3 of the Go-Backs when Cutter himself had never before even killed a
human?"
Trollkiller has disconnected.
Nienke says "Super Cutter *grin*"
Gem says "Cutter has killed a human"
Zarah says "I would want an Elfquest computer game like FINAL FANTASY. FF's are
the best RPG games"
ELFQUEST says "Thitida, we want to make an EQ game that is unique to what EQ
is."
Cutter says "I didn't really mean to, y'know?"
Rayek snorts. A likely story.
arkady_som says "I disagree with that Tavie, because some storylines are meant
for interaction... EQ, to me anyway... is a sit and watch what unfolds"
Flashfire baps Cutter. Meanie.
Gem says "Yes, Final Fantasy is only way to go."
ederwink says "this caht is way to chaotic for me. i'll see you guys later"
Docfur wants a Petalwing Plushie
Flashfire says "Arkady - it'd depend on the way the game was designed."
rosannez says "Monkey Island is cool!!"
ELFQUEST says "Serpent, ever see a wolf cornered? ;)"
Cutter swats Flashfire, "Mind your manners, son.".
Guest1 has disconnected.
ederwink has disconnected.
Tavie says "Oh, I don't think it would've spawned so many fan endeavours if that
were entirely true..."
Thitida-No-Chey says "Zarah : I wouldn't know... :) Only PC-Rpg I toy with is
BG... :)"
Gem says "Yeah well, Rayek tried to kill all the Go-Backs! *sticks out tongue at
Rayek* That's worse!"
rosannez says "a game should have humour"
Flashfire pfffts.
Zarah nods enthusiastically, "I love FF as much as Elfquest"
veli agrees with rosannez
Fairlight says "A unique EQ game is really important to me, not genre RPG.
Something that is new and original from the ground up, as receptive to
exploration and wonder as the comics."
Flashfire says "rosannez - again, it depends on what the game is meant to be."
arkady_som says "After FF7, I was done with the series..."
LegendaryShannon says "rosannez I am a HUGE Monkey Island fan. The only truly
funny game I know of."
Serpent says "True....I just thought that the go backs would have more hands-on
experience."
Tavie says "A game can take on some of the story elements from Elfquest and
still have enough open for interaction."
Thitida-No-Chey says "Shannon : Monkey Island RULES!"
yanaka says "yesyesysyes petalwing plushie! good idea! can i have one
too,please?"
Fairlight says "Like the board game -- which you built as you went along, by
exploration. That was a great idea, if not too fun to play"
Ren says "Another question: Are there ever going to be more novels (they stopped
at the Blue Mountain quest)"
Gem says "No no, Skywise doll! Huggie doll!"
Frozzie is a bit away
Tavie says "You've got hero-types and villain-types and adventure-scenarios in
all of the stories."
arkady_som says "Now that I would buy yanaka"
Frozzie says "eeps, i can't follow anymore"
ELFQUEST says "Serpent, when you don't put any thought behind your actions as a
fighter, you're not necessarily as skillful."
rosannez says "ooooohh, my sweat is vaporising as the temperature is rising and
I can not feel my legs below my knees anymore"
Schaduwlach says "hugs Skywise doll too"
Zarah says "I would like an Elfquest game to have the same visual awsome-ness as
an FF, is all"
ELFQUEST says "Ren, yes, the quest will be finished in prose."
Docfur would like a Petalwing Plushie AND Skywise doll
Tavie says "Better get up and walk around."
LegendaryShannon says "Don't forget that there is already an Elfquest board game
and an Elfquest RPG book."
Gem says "It's hard to imagine a finished Elfquest."
Tavie says "Well said."
Docfur says "agreed"
Guest1 has left.
Guest2 has left.
Goldeye says "Question to Richard and Wendy: What do you think about all the fan
related topics, art and suchlike, do you ever get a chance to ask them questions
instead of answering questions?"
ELFQUEST says "Legend, though they are out of print now."
Suntopp says "Oh, please don't ever end the quest..... :("
Flashfire says "They could do a Final Quest, but that doesn't necessarily mean
the stories are all done."
Tavie says "They're gonna. They're mean that way."
arkady_som says "There are not happy endings, because nothing ends"
Fairlight says "Drunks always lose fights, no matter how angry and strong they
are. It's all in the mind. Even when there are massive imbalances in strength.
Fisticuffs are no more physical than chess, they just have physical consuqeunces
for failure."
Serpent says "Lots of stuff on here came from the RPG book I think."
Tavie says "They're gonna kill and maim and make us all cry."
Gem adds prayers to Suntops.
veli says "*nods* But getting the "Final Quest" would be good, because I want to
see "The Rebels" continued..."
Flashfire says "I'd rather have it end at some point than not at all with no
idea how the story wraps up."
Guest1 has arrived.
Gem says "Gag..I'm sorry, I hated the Rebels."
ELFQUEST says "Goldeye, we appreciate all the sincere creative effort fans put
into their sites, art, writing... But we have to admire it from a distance; to
do otherwise would suck up the last remaining free time we have!"
Malandor says "Elfquest - Question: MANY years ago I was at one of those country
markets where people sell whatever they make, etc. Some older lady had made
stuffed Elfquest figures and was selling them, and had a huge 'life-sized'
Timmorn one, all big and soft and furry. She (I'm guessing) didn't have
copyright permission to do it, but would such a thing be on the radar for
official elfquest merchandise?"
Tavie says "Not me. I'd like to create the ending myself, or not, and have it
always go on."
Reed says "My family has gotten to where we enjoy the Harry potter books on cd
and are going to get the Tolkien books on cd. How about all Eq works on CD"
elfe_danny has disconnected.
edfrogz says "gem agree with you"
Coldmist says "I don't think Elfquest will ever die, as long as it's being
remembered and carried on by the fans, just my opinion on that"
Flashfire says "Life-sized Timmorn? Word."
Zarah agrees with Coldmist
Exile says "I would be happy not to have Elfquest wrapped up myself... I was
vaguely disturbed at Rebel and the hints of the end of EQ there. Hmm."
Suntopp says "WENDY, do you have a favorite character?"
ELFQUEST says "malandor, no, she certainly did not have our permission, but we
do think they would make great dolls."
Docfur says "oh Wow! Somehow I doubt that Timmorn would be very huggable,
though, what with the claws and all"
LegendaryShannon says "Malandor so basically you want to cuddle up to a
life-sized Timmorn. ;-)"
Tavie says "Well, sure. That's true. But knowing how Cutter dies, that'll be
intensely emotional. There'll be real grief happening."
rosannez says "how can you read of of your computer?"
Flashfire says "See why I like Timmorn? ;)"
veli says "The Final Quest isn't the last story to be written, if I got
everything right ;)"
ELFQUEST says "Reed, that's a good idea!"
Gem says "No no...*covers ears* No Cutter dying."
Fairlight says "QUestion: Do you ever get weird shivers when you see all the
recycled "retro" thundercats/smurfs/atari clothing and stuff in trendy stores,
and wonder if the Rankin Bass "Thunderelves" might have been a good idea all
along?""
Wolfpup says "CD comic books are great"
Guest2 has arrived.
ELFQUEST says "Docfur, Timmorn is quite fluffy, but not stuffy. :)"
Skarpegg has connected.
Gem says "Considering that Wendy is getting ready to add her stuff to Hot
Topics...you will see that stuff."
Cutter waves to the newly joined.
ELFQUEST says "Tavie, yes."
Zarah huggles Timmorn
Docfur says "is he huggable, though?"
Thitida-No-Chey says "Way! Norwegian ElfQuest! *giggle*"
arkady_som says "Hot Topic, to me, has redeamed themseleves by future sellings
of Wendy's work ;)"
Tavie says "Ooh, that's fun."
Flashfire says "More fluffy after he's gotten out of the dryer, right?"
Reed grins real big and is glad to be so helpful.
rosannez says "if everybody dies or so, i'll burn the copy in wich it happens"
Tavie says "Pick up a Care Bears tee shirt, pick up an Elfquest tee shirt..."
Fairlight says "Tavie: Yes..."
Cutter snickers at Flashfire and recalls a drawing involving a dryer.
ELFQUEST says "Fair, we were approached by Rankin-Bass back when, and turned
them down."
Flashfire covers Cutter's mouth.
LegendaryShannon says "watch the wolves eat the care bears..."
Skarpegg says "Hi!"
arkady_som says "I SOOOO want the new 25th Anniversary shirt..."
Frozzie says "rosanne: i don't believe everyone will die in one issue ;) it
would be boring"
Gem says "When they Froze Han in carbonite, I swore I'd never watch Return of
Jedi, but I'm glad I did. I'll stay till the end, but curse and swear along the
way."
Malandor says "Docfur, this one was large, and filled with softstuff. Had claws
(again out of something soft). He was labelled 'Timmorn' so I guessed that's
exactly where she got him from. Was priced at $250 though. :("
Docfur would have bought him anyway
Flashfire says "How good a likeness was it, Malandor?"
Prior has left.
ELFQUEST says "Arkady, thankee very much! We have ours on at the moment. THey'll
be available all year long."
Serpent says "Rankin-Bass might have actually stayed close to the source
material. They let Peter Beagle write the script for The Last Unicorn."
Wolfpup says "I've published some comic work for others on CD, if you'd like to
see some examples, let me know. I think EQ would be great on CD. Full color and
everything."
Malandor says "Very good, actually."
Flashfire would've been sorely tempted to buy, but it would've been putting
money into the pocket of someone benefiting off the ElfQuest name and image.
arkady_som sways back and forth happily
Fairlight says "Elfquest CDs!"
Fairlight says "Where"
ELFQUEST says "We greatly admire the script for Last Unicorn, but not the
visuals."
Malandor says "Aye, is why I'm hoping R and W Pini come out with some on their
own! (hinthintnudgenudge)"
Gem says "*chuckles* It's kind of how when the Wolfriders met Timmain,
Overwhelming."
Docfur grudgingly agrees with Flashfire
Tavie says "They're making a live-action sequel, or remake, or something."
Flashfire can get with that. I'd sink some money into it if it was put out by
Warp.
eqfanart says "A quick thanks for the ladies shirts! Very stylish."
Serpent says "Remake."
Tavie says "With the voice cast from the first but in different roles."
Neko says "I liked the book better"
Exile mms. More Elfquest CD's would be good.
LegendaryShannon says "ditto Elfquest on RankinBass"
arkady_som says "I've read and watched the animated The Last Unicorn... powerful
stuff for children to watch"
Zarah says "I love the Last Unicorn!!"
Gem says "I heard that, too...about the remake. Even going to get some of actors
from original to actually act"
ELFQUEST says "eqfanart, thank you too - that was Wendy's idea/nudging!"
Zarah mom is distracting her
Exile must slip offline now, her player's hands are all achy. Glad to have 'met'
you, Elfquest =)
Fairlight thinks that any production of elfquest, be it cel, cel-shaded, cgi or
live or whatever combination, must impress visually!
Rikkert says "QUESTION: So, about those Elfquest Video's.... (HAHA. JUST
KIDDING!)"
Exile has disconnected.
Exile curls up and falls asleep.
Gem says "I'd like to say those Elfquest videos where HORRIBLE!"
ELFQUEST says "Rikkert, DIE!!!! (just kidding)"
Tavie says "Are you ever going to republish the graphic novels in colour?"
Flashfire says "The one. And yes, it was."
rosannez says "ilchhh EQ on cd, what's the use of that? You can't take your pc
into your bed can you?"
Suntopp says "LOL"
Flashfire says "Fortunately I've purged the voices from my mind."
ELFQUEST says "Tavie, indeed."
Reed says "Last Unicorn I read before the movie and I like the fact that it
sticks pretty darn close to the book . The theme music and other pieces moves my
soul""
arkady_som chortles "Not very nice of you Rikkert"
Tavie says "I really, really, really, really, really, really want fresh colour
copies and they're impossible to find."
Gem says "I waited two years for mine to arrive."
edfrogz says "well gotta go got stinky baby diaper to change....have fun and
congrats EQ"
Serpent says "My girlfriend almost bought the video for me on Ebay but I stopped
her."
edfrogz has disconnected.
Gem says "I like my pin more than that vidoe."
Ren says "stinky diapers (shudder)"
Gem says "video even"
rosannez says "I was very young when I saw the last unicorn, but it's very
beautifull"
arkady_som sings "WALKING MANS ROOOOOOAD"
Zarah says "I remembered watching TLU when I was little, mostly remembered
Amalthea's eyes.. When I heard a TLU midi, I just had to buy the movie and read
the book"
Fairlight says "Has jink's parentage come up yet? I point this out so that the
triumvirate of irritating questions is completed. Movie, video, Jink's dad."
ELFQUEST says "There are Big Plans afoot for newly recolored GNs."
Flashfire thinks the video is like a car crash. You can't help but watch when
you get a chance, but you feel dirty afterwards.
Zarah wonders about Jink
Tavie says "When? When?"
Goldeye cheers!
Tavie says "Hurry! Hurry!"
Docfur says "Elfquest, do you still have a dog? If so, which coast does she/he
live on, what is his/her name?"
rosannez says "I saw the dutch version: magie magie, doe wat je wilt"
Wolfpup says "yeah, who are Jink's parents, anyway?"
ELFQUEST says "Fairlight, no comment."
Gem says "THAT WAS perfect Flashfire"
Zarah grins
Flashfire says "Nice try, Wolfpup ;)"
ELFQUEST says "So, Flashfire, I should put it out on DVD, right?"
Cutter snickers.
Gem says "NOOO"
Tavie says "That's what DVD was made for."
Flashfire wouldn't recommend it ;)
arkady_som laughs
Ren says "Are there going to be more stories about when Cutter and Skywise were
younger?"
Gem says "You'd see a revolt"
Frozzie says "was it so bad?"
Gem says "Cutter, Skywise, Cutter! Have you figured out yet where my preferences
lie?"
ELFQUEST says "Ren, possibly."
Frozzie never saw it o_O
Serpent sees massive DVD piles burning in the streets.
Thorn has a spouse who will be changing her name to Amalthea (though only partly
due to TLU)
Suntopp says "I'd like to see many more Suntop stories...hin, hint.....LOL"
ELFQUEST says "Suntop has a big part to play in upcoming stories."
Gem says "Nightfall stories, too"
arkady_som says "Well Richard... you aren't that far off the mark. After the
movie is released and the DVD comes out for that, that VHS could be an "extra"
:P"
Suntopp says "EXCELLENT! thanks much!"
Zarah says "SunStream, or Suntop?"
Thorn loved TLU, when he finally say it (last year), but... can see why it
wouldn't work for Elfquest.
Goldeye says "ooores! That would be so cool, Suntop has a great deal of
potential"
Frozzie says "i was never really interested in suntop, until full circle... he's
really lovely in that story"
veli says "Rebels stories, Wolfrider-stories... *g*"
Tavie says "I need to reread that."
Gem says "How can you not love Suntop! I mean, Ember is all fire, but he is
Leetah's mirror...I think."
LegendaryShannon says "Let's bury the VHS and just be done with it!"
Reed 's office looks like a WolfHaven with all the puzzles and pictures on the
wall
Tavie says "Ember, shmember. Just because they're twins doesn't mean you have to
compare and contrast. ;)"
Flashfire says "I think a lot of people didn't like Suntop because they couldn't
figure him out. He wasn't a big action type of character. More mystical."
rosannez says "Ember is soooooooooooooo cool"
Reed 's computer even howls like a wolf
Tavie says "Mythteriouth."
Serpent says "I just hope the movie isn't released around Christmas time. People
who know nothing about Elfquest might thing it's a movie about one of Santa's
elves or something."
Gem says "I can't help it, I love Ember. She has Teir!"
Docfur says "is Cutter's part as a prime mover in the EQ series "done" now? He
seems to have faded before the younger generation of leaders."
ELFQUEST says "Flashfire, exactly."
Frozzie says "sorry, i feel more for elves who are not in the spotlights... just
my opinion, those are more interisting :)"
Ren says "Yeah its nice to see charactors that dont just fight"
Skarpegg has disconnected.
LegendaryShannon says "I liked Suntop more than Ember, but that's just me. :-)"
ELFQUEST says "Docfur, far from it!"
rosannez says "I also love Joyleave a lot"
Docfur says "Cool. :)"
Gem says "It's hard to pick. But, Suntop does cry alot more."
Zarah says "I can't decide which charcter is really my fav."
ELFQUEST says "Frozzie, secondary characters often lend spice to the main
storyline."
Tavie says "I'm more intrigued by those we get to see less of. Rainsong.
Brownberry. Lotsa potential in the minors. That's why Zhantee's story in
Dreamtime was so powerful. He grew from minor to major."
Suntopp says "WAAAH!"
Neko says "I like stories focused on cutter and the group rather than their
children and such."
Flashfire says "Personally, I'm interested to see where things go with Suntop.
There's nothing wrong with an emotional, sensitive character who doesn't run
around with a sword or bow and arrow."
arkady_som says "Redlance is my all time favorite charactor"
Goldeye has no EQ favourites because all of it is her favourite.
Frozzie agrees with tavie
Fairlight says "Will the Elfquest saga return to focus on Cutter and Skywise? Or
will they retreat into the background in the way, for example, that Ender did in
the Ender's Game suquels?""
Gem says "I want to see stuff on Foxfur and Joyleaf, too. I'd love like a whole
mess of comics devoted to Bearclaw's time"
ELFQUEST says "Fairlight, C&S will always be the main characters."
Gem says "and WHO Is Pike's parents?"
Fairlight says "I think my question came out wrong."
Gem says "are even"
Fairlight lol
Reed says "Foxfur is the bomb in females I think. Even in such a brief bit we've
seen of her."
Tavie says "Rain and somebubblebuddymumble."
Ren says "Yay! (cant imagine an elfquest world without Skywise)"
yanaka says "my favorite is two-edge... =)"
Wolfpup has reconnected.
Flashfire says "Gem, type '+family pike' to see what it is here. I believe it's
consistent with canon."
Zarah says "What's Clearbrook's daughter called?."
Coldmist would really like to know who Rainsong's, Shale's, and Pike's mother
is.
Tavie says "Twedge is sexy. So tortured."
ELFQUEST says "Fairlight, meaning, they will always be in the spotlight."
Malandor likes Aroree, then Winnowill, then Clearbrook.
Fairlight says "Yes. Foxfur is the bomb. And so, so many other characters...."
Wolfpup says "I'd like to see more stories about Shale"
Gem says "I cry when I read about Shale and EyesHigh, too."
Fairlight says "Yes, you anticipated my real question. More a thing of
spotlight, yes."
Nightfall has arrived.
Rayek says "Cutter Cutter Cutter, it's always about Cutter."
Schaduwlach says "wieuw Shale and EyesHigh!!!"
Suntopp says "You know, none of us will EVER get enough of ANYTHING EQ!!!"
Zarah wonders about Rillfisher
Serpent says "You're not the only one Gem."
Docfur says "One last question, and I won't pester you anymore: How to
Strongbow's leggings stay up?"
Coldmist grins at Rayek
arkady_som giggles at Rayek
Flashfire senses a bit of envy in the Desert Rat.
Gem says "Hmph...*at Rayek*"
Tavie says "Spirit gum."
Reed once again grabs her branch and holds on chuckling at Rayek
Wolfpup says "we're like a pack of vampires"
Cutter grins and winks at Rayek.
Thitida-No-Chey says "docfur- LOL!"
ELFQUEST says "Rayek, Wendy asks 'Where would your sorry ass be without Cutter?'
;)"
Ren says "Hey are we ever gonna find out if Skywise and Timmain are recognized?"
Flashfire snickers.
Cutter jerks a thumb at black hair, "He's always been such a jealous rival."
arkady_som says "I don't wanna hear ANYTHING about vampires... *twitch*"
Goldeye says "lol!"
Gem says "HA!"
Suntopp says "docfur, must be the garter lol"
Tavie says "Ditto. No vampires."
ELFQUEST says "Docfur, they're hip-boots. World of Two Moons Doc Martens. :)"
rosannez says "Is there ever going to be a half elf, half giraffe?"
Rayek says "Elfquest: Ask her *what* Cutter be without me. ;)"
Flashfire blinks.
Fairlight lol Rosy
Tavie says "Now THERE'S a question."
Gem says "Just can't take it that Leetah loves Cutter more...mahhaha."
Cutter snickers and cheers Elfmom!
LegendaryShannon says "Anyone who is coming to Comiccon -- consider doing some
cosplay! Let's see if we can get the place teeming with Cutters and Leetahs for
the 25th Anniversary!"
Coldmist says "It's your fault anyways, Rayek"
Docfur says "Cool. Thanks!"
Wolfpup says "Will Two Edge recognize in the future?"
Guest3 has left.
Zarah says "Hmn.. Cutter. He looks so nice with Facefur."
Rikkert says "QUESTION: I Know there are 3 versions of HY 9.5 (a
signed/numbered, a silver and a purple one). DIDyou do this with other comics as
well, or only with this one because it's so special (and great)"
Tavie says "I'm having a one-woman 25th anniversary party in a continuous
ten-foot mobile radius around me. You're all invited."
Frozzie dislikes facefur ;D
arkady_som says "A cosplay for Cutter and Leetah....rated NC-17"
Kahvi has arrived.
Silverclaw has arrived.
Zarah says "Oh! I wanna know if Two-Edge will Recognize too!"
Ren says "Who would he recognize? A troll or an elf?"
ELFQUEST says "Rikkert, that was our only foray into that sort of thing."
Flashfire says "To be honest, way back when the 20th anniversary hit I was
hoping to do a really good Timmorn costume for the 25th, probably along the
lines of the 'Cats' costumes, but you know what they say about the best-laid
plans of mice and men..."
Reed thinks long hair on maies is soooooooooo sexy. Her husband even grew his
hair long for her.
Docfur says "do trolls even recognize, Ren?"
Frozzie says "an elf :)"
Flashfire says "Trolls can't."
Rayek says "Ha. Fault's subjective, Coldmist. And it depends on your definition
of 'all'."
rosannez says "Leetah is just nuts, she should have kicked Cutter and Rayek and
take them both"
ELFQUEST says "Zarah, we definitely will explore his yen for Venka."
Ren says "No idea but isnt there always a first for everything?"
Gem says "Yeah, they recognize jewels"
Thitida-No-Chey says "Reed - Heh, kewl, you should see my brother's scalp
then... ;)"
Frozzie kicks anyone who says anything bad about trolls
Zarah says "lol, Venka's so nice to him."
Gem says "If I was Leetah, I'd have picked Skywise, *wicked grin*"
Schaduwlach says "*lol* Trolls are cute ;p"
Gem says "Bad Troll?"
Suntopp says "Gem, there was no "picking" lol"
arkady_som says "Well Gem... doesn't she already sort of have Skywise?"
Frozzie kicks gem ;D
Docfur is waiting for EQ pinups
Gem says "Alas, I nkow."
Gem says "Know even."
Cutter nudges Suntopp, "There's no choosing Recognition, silly."
ELFQUEST says "Hey everyone, we'll repeat what we said in the first chat - we'd
love as many as possible of you to be at the San Diego con in costume; we'll
have prizes and all sorts of neat stuff. Also, we want drawings for the program
book as well!"
Gem says "Hmm...good point."
Fairlight says "What kind of drawings?"
Fairlight says "Guidelines?"
Tavie says "Cons look scary."
Goldeye says "You got it!"
Frozzie says "i can't, i live on the other side of the ocean :("
Ren says "No choosing recognition? Um are we forgetting Redlance and Nightfall?"
Nightfall says "cons are fun."
Gem says "Wishes for millionth time in her life that she could draw."
Wolfpup says "well Packmates, I really must go. Thank you, Richard and Wendy for
the lovely chats today, and warm congratulations on an incredible job."
Nienke says ""San Diego *sight*"
Zarah says "San Diego, when?"
LegendaryShannon says "I'm sure they will have information on the website."
Silverclaw says "Drawings?"
Flashfire says "The 20th anniversary was fun. Maybe I should see about getting
down for this one with the camera again."
ELFQUEST says "Fairlight - black and white, EQ 25th anniversary/celebration
theme, 8 1/2 by 11 size."
rosannez says "I hope Ember regcognises Rayek"
Tavie says "I've been to anthropoloy conventions. Now there's a bunch of geeks."
Zarah says "I live near Chicago..""
Zarah cries
Cutter eyes Ren, "They didn't Recognize... they were helped by Leetah."
Nightfall hms? "That was a unique circumstance. They *did* purposefully exchange
soulnames."
Fairlight says "Thanks."
Suntopp says "don't get tenical, that was a special situation"
Reed says "I just love to look at it and on and on....we were at the hair
dressers and this guy came in....next thing I knew my daughter was shoving me
and saying "Stop staring mom!" she knows about my hair fetish"
arkady_som says "If I remember correctly, someone posted some rather not so nice
*giggles* comments about someone who dressed up as Skywise on a T-Shirt site..."
ELFQUEST says "There's convention info at www.comic-con.org"
Gem says "Kansas...NO WHERE Kansas...*cries* Teacher salary."
Ren says "Well it was kinda recognition."
Zarah says "Danke, Elfquest."
Flashfire ohs, and thanks WaRP again for publishing a few of the pics after the
'98 SDCC :)
yanaka says "ember/rayek and cutter will explode i guess!"
ELFQUEST says "Bitte!"
LegendaryShannon says "COMICCON If you want to know more, visit
http://www.comic-con.org"
Rayek might explode.
Nightfall says "well, RL&NF kind of had a forced recognition by leetah, if i
remember right."
Gem says "Chilled blood...what if Ember recognized Rayek...*falls over in fit*"
LegendaryShannon says "Comiccon will be held July 17-20"
Cutter lights a firecracker and tosses it off behind Rayek.. then whistles
innocently.
Wolfpup waves goodbye and 'sends' gentle mind-touches to everybody
Docfur says "Thank you WaRP! Thank you so much for answering my questions!"
Silverclaw says "You need one of these cons down in AR. San Fran is too far away
for even me."
rosannez says "it would be a nice circle"
Tavie says "Bye WOlfpup!"
Docfur waves goodbye
Docfur has disconnected.
Rayek *boom*
Sandstorm says "Bye!"
Serpent says "I want to know what Skywise was whispering to Cutter about at the
end of book 7. Something about Leetah...."
Gem says "We love you Wendy and Richard!"
Tavie says "I should go study."
Schaduwlach says "Bye?"
Tavie says "Consarnit."
IceFire asks: how was your stay in germany - Erlangen Comic Salon - a ways back 
and when will you get to this region again
Zarah says "Thank you Wendy and Richard Pini!"
Frozzie says "yeah, what DOES leetah do? ;D"
Wolfpup has partially disconnected.
Gem says "I think I know...Leetah apparently is the best "ahem" Lay...ever."
Cutter waves to the Elfmom and pop, "We'll see you later, I'm sure."
Nienke says "Question: Why don't you all come to the Dutch EQ-days? ;)"
ELFQUEST says "IceFire, it was a great time."
Flashfire says "QUESTION: Speaking of San Fran..I'm a little behind on news. Are
W&R coming to that? WonderCon, I think it is. That's right across the bay"
Suntopp says "Thanks so much Elfmom & Elfdad!"
Flashfire says "Put it this way - Cutter felt like nutmash afterwards ;)"
ELFQUEST says "Frozzie, wouldn't you all loooooooooove to know. ;)"
Tavie says "Come to Taviecon. I'll make a pie."
Ren says "Richard and Wendy...is there any chance of you going to any
conventions in Virginia?"
Frozzie says "rofl yeah"
LegendaryShannon says "If you go to Comiccon book your room EARLY. Hotels in the
area get completely filled."
Gem says "KANSAS!"
ELFQUEST says "Tavie, just hold that 10-foot area still!"
Thorn got out of Kansas. *heh*
Flashfire thinks Tavie + pies = splat, a lot of it.
Cutter says "For those of you who are interested, we'll be having a RP session
in Lostholt. You may watch from the Scroll Room which is just off of this room."
Tavie says "Okay, I'm taking the wheels off my chair right now."
Frozzie says "yeah, we have an EQ day in the netherlands"
ELFQUEST says "Regarding conventions, time is so very tight this year we have to
be very picky, but we will try to do as much as possible."
Tavie says "Flashfire, I thought you were familiar."
Gem says "Thorn, I'm very, very jealous."
Flashfire says "Yeah, used to be on the AOL boards, and some of the EQ
newsgroup."
Taviewinds up her throwing arm. -------------------[} SPLAT
Tavie says "Been a while since i've done that."
Tavie says "Good times."
Tavie says "(That was computer chair, by the way.)"
Gem says "LOL. I'm a Southerner, from my youth. Don't quite FIT in Kansas."
veli is completely confused now
yanaka says "tavie: but this flying pie looked good"
Cutter departs the chat to get everyone ready.
Tavie says "I made some really good friends on those boards. They really helped
me through my difficult teen years. So never, ever underestimate the
transformative power of fandom. It's very important."
Nightfall says "EQ: any east, southeast cons you might consider?"
Rikkert says "QUESTION: Do you belong to any newsgroups, or are you busy enough
with your own mail and all your work?"
Cutter goes home.
Cutter has left.
Reed is from southern Indiana, right across the river from Louisville, Kentucky
arkady_som says "All this talk about pies is making me want those discontinured
TMNT green pudding pies..."
Tavie says "r.a.c.e has been sort of quiet for awhile now."
yanaka says "tavie may i have one too? (looked tasty)"
Suntopp has disconnected.
Tavie says "All newsgroups ebb and flow."
Frozzie is hungry too XD
ELFQUEST says "Rikkert, I watch the newslists and groups, but don't have a lot
of time to participate."
Goldeye says "Hey Richard and Wendy, how much snow did you guys get in
Poughkeepsie this year? I bet the elves really liked that again:) Grins and
remembers a particular comic magazine:)"
Tavie gets an armload of pies and splats 'em at everyone who's hungry. SPLAT!
SPLAT! SPLAT! SPLAT!
LegendaryShannon says "Wendy/Richard here is a question I imagine people would
like answered...will you be doing signings at the convention?"
Zarah shivers
IceFire says "Nienke als we het (kunnen) betalen komen ze:)"
Schaduwlach says "hungry??? o_0"
ELFQUEST says "Goldeye, about 4 feet, all told."
Frozzie says "not in my face! in my mouth! **points**"
Tavie says "Snow was elf-high."
Flashfire grins, and needs to go AFK for a bit, then is going to get in on some
of the RP.
Reed lifts up her feet as the pies fly by
Flashfire has left.
Gem says "I hope you don't make people pay to sign...they do that for Star Wars.
It's too expensive"
ELFQUEST says "Legend, you bet. Several, no doubt."
Solsky has disconnected.
Rikkert says "Icefire: Op mijn bijdrage kan je rekenen ;-)"
Goldeye says "lol."
Silverclaw quietly enters Silverclaw's Tent.
Silverclaw has left.
Traest says "Elfquest, please answer this question that we here at TwoMoons have
been going back and forth about: How tall /is/ Winnowill? We're told 5 feet or
so. :)"
arkady_som says "I once saw a licence plate that read AFK BRB"
ELFQUEST says "Gem, never! We're guests of the convention and happy to do all we
can for the fans."
Riasha has disconnected.
Gem says "Thank goodness. My friend went to a comic con once and paid 60 bucks
for several Star Wars characters."
Nightfall says "traest, GS said Richard said Winny is GS's player's height. All
told, nearly 6 feet."
ELFQUEST says "Traest, you're right."
Nightfall says "Dunno if that's right, but..."
Leila says "YEs, we were told 5' but when looking at the art and doing the math
from that, wee don't come up with 5'."
Nightfall says "5 feet, really?"
Frozzie can't think in feet
Riasha has connected.
ELFQUEST says "Leila, art is subjective. ;)"
Gem says "Ha, I'm taller than Winnowill! I'd crush her like bug! *giggles*"
Traest says "5 feet = 1.53m"
Ren says "How can someone get an autograph if they cant get to conventions?"
Leila says "I Know, but there's some consistency to it. ;)"
Tavie says "Why is it important to have an exact height?"
LegendaryShannon says "5 feet is tall in elfland"
arkady_som says "I think 5 ft is more according to the High Ones standards"
Tavie says "Ren, just track them down and present your ass for signing. :)"
Gem says "My friend went. I wanted Chewies signature and he said I had to pay 10
bucks for it. Hmph"
Nightfall says "ah, 5 feet. ok. good to know."
LegendaryShannon says "Anyway if Winnowill shows up at the convention *cough*
she's be five foot one"
ELFQUEST says "But it had better be cute!"
Zarah says "Then how tall is Timmain?"
Frozzie says "oh, then i'm probably 6 feet too o_O"
Tavie says "That's an unfair clause."
ELFQUEST says "Everyone had their fill for a while? We're thinking now's a good
time to break, and be back in a little over an hour, at 2 pm PST, 5 pm EST"
Fairlight says "It's eye, as well. In dreamtine, the elves look under 4 feet
tall. In Siege, even the Wolfriders look over 5 feet - at least to me."
Tavie says "It's hard for people to judge the cuteness of their own ass!"
Ren says "Lemmie rephrase that...how can someone who is too poor to travel get
an autograph?"
Zarah says "I need a break"
Fairlight says "go lunch :)"
Frozzie says "i was dressed as winnowill once"
Wolfpup has disconnected.
Tavie says "Damn. NOw no excuse not to study archaeology."
ELFQUEST says "Ren, perhaps we can offer something over the eq.com site."
Leila says "She's only a foot taller than Cutter, then?"
Gem says "I'm afraid I won't get to see you again, Wendy and Richard. *hugs* I
have a dinner party tonight *sighs*"
Serpent says "I thhhink all my quessstionsss have been anssswered ssso far..."
arkady_som says "I won't be online then... but will be for a little while
longer"
Goldeye says "have a good rest Elfquest!"
Tavie says "This was a good diversion. Thanks, all."
Serpent says "Oops....went into my lisp there."
ELFQUEST says "Thanks to all who've been here, and we'll look forward to more in
a bit!"
Frozzie says "i need sleep now o_O"
Gem says "Thank YOU! Thank you! For everything!"
arkady_som says "THANKS AGAIN RICHARD AND WENDY!!!! *hugs and kisses*"
Neko says "thanks for stopping by"
Nightfall has left.
Goldeye says "Thanks so much!!!!"
Traest says "Rest well Elfquest, we'll have another bunch rady for you in a bit.
Thanks. :)"
rosannez says "thanks!!!!"
arkady_som has disconnected.
veli says "thank you very much!"
Zarah says "Thank you!!""
Reed says "Me too gotta go hug that daughter of mine and see about my sons day.
Will be on as Amber to do some rp too."
eqfanart says "Wendy, my (soon to be thwapped upside the head) boyfried has
requested you wear the animal-print dress ala the 20th anniversary @ Comic-con.
'She looked hot.'"
Frozzie says "hehehe, bye :D"
asrana has connected.
Zarah says "AAyyoooahhh!"

===================================================

Logfile from Two Moons.

Session 3

Elfquest has connected.
FireHunter says "Equal oportunity chat:)"
Thitida-No-Chey says "Rikkert: Oooh! :) So the Danish Girl's name Rikke must
mean Wealthy Girl...! *giggle*"
Serpent says "It really is worth it if your an Elfquest addict because it's
ongoing."
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
Vosse waves at everybody
Vilnolinlaughs
Coldmist says "Okay, on to the third session :)"
Ayerth @woots. "It's on."
Serpent says "Hello Pinis!"
ELFQUEST says "HEYO to all again!"
Vilnolin says "it is?"
FireHunter welcomes ElfQuest:)
Vilnolin says "hi"
Savah prays to kami-sama that she will clean her room if her isp will just hold.
Ayerth says "Welcome to our addiction, Pini's."
Rayek says "Welcome back. :)"
Savah says "WB, guys."
asrana says "hello Elfquest :)"
Vosse welcomes the Pini's
Fairlight says "Greetings. Some of us are not going away."
Vilnolin says "hi for the first time"
ELFQUEST says "Sorry we're a little late, but there are Big Things happening
literally minute to minute today."
Frixx says "???"
Thitida-No-Cheybows down in eternal worship of the EQ god/goddess
FireHunter says "ElfQuest is Wendy and Richard Pini. For those who dont know"
Vilnolin says "it's really not a problem, i don't think anyone minds"
Rikkertbows to the pini's
FireHunter cheers, bit things is good news!:)
FireHunter says "well most of the time"
Vilnolin scratches head and is confused again
Vosse is also here for the first time. Thanks for being here on a time ppl in
Europe (like me) can also join. :))
Kahvi smiles, "Well, feel free to tell us what is happening - if that is
possible."
Serpent says "Have either of you played on this Mush before?"
Frixx says "or just bigthings..."
yanaka bows to EQ and almost fall down this fine tree
hamilasdaje says "i'am unworthy :)"
Ranna also jumps up and down at finally meting the pinis
ELFQUEST says "Well, these Big Things are definitely going to be good news."
Vilnolin says "really?"
Goldeye has arrived.
Goldeye has left.
Vilnolintries not to look too excited
Goldeye has arrived.
Vosse claps her hands "tell us.. tell us.. tell us"
Ayerth says "This sounds like something worthwhile. Any possibility of sharing?"
dragonsfire says "niftyness tell please"
FireHunter starts pacing and forgets about the now and starts planning for what
he knows nothing about and biting his nails:)
ELFQUEST says "Serpent, no we haven't - we're terrible at RPG!"
Neko has arrived.
Ranna says "you prefer to controal all the characters?"
Jadelion has connected.
Serpent says "You've tried it before then?"
FireHunter laughs at Ranna
Goldeye says "Elfquest, you two should try it, it can be a lot of fun!:)"
Savah laughs. "I tried to get Richard on once, but guess it wasn't more fun than
work."
Dix has connected.
Ranna says "it's much easier that way"
Dix fhew.
Ayerth says "Or a great drain on any free time you might have, if any."
Vilnolin says "i like rpging i have a site, but everyone gets way too bloody
confused"
FireHunter says "some people get inspiration for ther ematerial be it art of
text from mushing:)"
Vosse nodnods
Vilnolin agrees
Reed unafks and grins at yanaka sitting up in the tree with her now
Rikkert says "And that even though you proberbly have a RPG game at the office.
You could make it a nice
Friday-afternoon-relaxing-after-a-hard-week-of-work-thing!"
Shaevairc says "now what about the news?"
Vilnolin looks confused
ELFQUEST says "Ayerth We'd love to, we're on the phone with some of them right
now, but we have to play by the rules. We will however, have a major
announcement Monday or Tuesday."
Vilnolin says "me?"
Goldeye says "a major announcement?"
Dix abstained from MUSH for almost four years. Mua ha ha. Hi, "Elfquest." <g>
Ayerth says "Wonderful!"
Vilnolin looks hopeful
Goldeye blinks, "sweet."
dragonsfire says "shibby"
Thitida-No-Chey says ".... Shibby....? Oh no.....!"
Vilnolin says "is the announcement good?"
Dix woo HOO, something to print. (more evil laughter)
Serpent is serving mugs of dreamberry wine.
Frixx has reconnected.
dragonsfire says "i read to much web comics"
yanaka says to reed look at all these people o.o
ELFQUEST says "Vilnolin, we think it's VERY good."
Ranna takes one say oh wait, isn't this poisious to humans?
Vilnolin grins
Serpent says "Ok, I have a question about those pockets of bad magic....do they
have specific rules or are they just pockets of magical chaos?"
Vosse looks at the Pini's with a smile from ear to ear. This is just great. Hey,
got a question. The novel, #6, is it ever going to be printed?
Serpent says "Not this dreamberry wine."
Reed grins at yanaka and bounces the branch a bit
Kahvi says "do you mean pockets, or pools?"
yanaka says "eeps!"
Tavie says "Semantics."
ELFQUEST says "Serpent, they are more pools of chaotic effect, rather than
specific rules."
Nienke has connected.
Ayerth says "Well, Pini's, let me just say that I really appreciate you two
taking some time out of your busy schedules to spend time with us. Any questions
you're absolutely sick of hearing?"
Vilnolin shugs to FirHunter, "i am incapable of sending stuff... too confused"
ELFQUEST says "Vosse, if we have anything to say about it, it will."
Vilnolin agrees, awestruck
asrana says "Pini's, can you tell what's going on with the movie?"
Reed says "oh those pockets of magic I was thinking about them just the other
day after listening to the song about Madcoil""
FireHunter chuckles
Savah says "movie info at the website! lotsa info!"
Vilnolin says "that's the 200 dollar question, the movie"
Tasmonia says "Recent info?"
ELFQUEST says "Ayerth, mostly we're kinda tired of being asked about the movie,
but we understand everyone's champing at the bit!"
Leila has arrived.
IceFire says "only 200 dollar? ;)"
Vilnolin laughs
ELFQUEST says "We wish we had more to say, but..."
Fairlight says "Time for a fairlightian question: Is the effect of magic
inversely proportional to the square of its distance?"
Savah says "It's a low-funded question."
Serpent says "Was it specifically the lightning strike that was the catalyst
that created madcoil or could it have been any number of things?"
Ranna laughs
Neko says "there should be a faq obj in this room and at the top it should
reguarding the movie... :)"
Savah thinks so too!
Tasmonia says "I have an idea"
ELFQUEST says "Fairlight, maybe yes, maybe no. That's a Warpian answer."
Vilnolin says "i don't. too much physics"
Tasmonia says "nevermind...let me think about it for a second"
Fairlight says "It is indeed"
Reed thinks of the pools of magic are sometimes manipulated by unseen forces
around us
Vilnolin grins
ELFQUEST says "Serpent, it could have been other things."
Vilnolin says "like by aliens? like, cropcircles?"
Ayerth says "Any new publications in the pipe for this year? I'm sure there are,
but can you let us know what you have planned?""
Frixx says "sometimes they just tickle"
FireHunter says "magic clearly depends on many things:)"
Vosse whooooohooooos! If you don't mind I've got another question (one of the
zillion...). About soulnames. Parents and cubs know each other's soulname right?
But would a half brother also know the name of another half brother? And if the
parents know the soulname, don't they use it when the cubs grow? Because in the
stories some elves have to look for their soulnames. At least that's I remember
some stories.
Vilnolin raises hand "Can i ask something?"
dragonsfire says "On the subject of novels, are you going to do a novelization
of Quests End like you've done of the first three?"
Dix cackles quietly, "Warpian answer" indeedy.
ELFQUEST says "Ayerth, that'll be covered in the Major Announcement. :)"
Reed says "the parents eventually forget the soulname"
Ranna says "yeah, I'd like to know that too, vosse"
Reed says "it sort of fades from memory"
Vilnolin still raising hand
Frixx says "and the MA is???"
Rayek says "Vilnolin, just ask your question. Don't wait to be called on."
Tasmonia says "Well what >won't< be covered in the Major Announcement?! ;P"
Serpent says "Just ask Vilnolin."
Dix laughs, Frixx, we don't get to know til Monday or Tuesday.
Vilnolin says "ok. tried to be polite"
Tasmonia says "Wolfriders aren't polite!"
FireHunter says "Your good to Go Vilnolin:)"
Vilnolin says "how did you guys get your start? I mean, i"
Savah says "there are more than just wolriders in the world. ^_~"
Kahvi says "People so much interested in the essence of Elfquest really should
get the Wolfrider's Guide, one of the best things ever published for
Elfquestians :)"
Rayek hi5s Savah.
Reed grins "Who said Vil was a wolfrider? "
FireHunter says "yes but it's out of print"
Ayerth says "Here's a question from long, long ago. Will BloodSongs ever be
released, or do we get to wait for the Pini Estate Sale?""
Vilnolin says "i'm an author, and i've been published, but you guys... you guys
are a thousand times better than anything i've gdone"
Tasmonia says "sheesh...just kidding guys"
Vosse ohs? So when do parents remember the soulname of their cub again?
Tasmoniahangs tail
Fairlight says "q: Are there significant populations of elves on Abode as yet
undealt with canonically (or non canonically, for that matter)"
dragonsfire has disconnected.
Vilnolin says "and Vilnolin is Tolkien elvish for 'Skywise', so, yeah, i'm a
wolfrider"
Tavie is the author of her own destruction.
Savah says "tas, lighten. we're all friends here."
dragonsfire has connected.
Frixx says "at what time Fairlight?"
Tasmonia says "no worries...I know"
Fairlight says "Any time - it's a fluid continuum with the palace"
FireHunter says "wolfriders do have there lader;)"
Vilnolin sits down to watch everyone
Tasmonia says "I second Fairlight's question"
FireHunter says "ladder even"
ELFQUEST says "Dragonsfire, if we can, we will."
Frixx says "before first crash... after Final Quest?"
Vilnolin sighs "i always got lost in the uproar" grins
Immin has arrived.
hamilasdaje says "another question: will there be a new filk cd?"
Ranna says "quest's end is my favorite, I hope you do"
ELFQUEST says "Ayerth, Bloodsongs is something we'd love to do too, there's just
so much!"
FireHunter grins at Vilnolin "I read your pose:)
Vilnolin looks confused
Serpent says "Eeewww...forget Filk...how about a tribute album with more
different styles of music."
Vilnolin says "do i have to re-ask my question?"
hamilasdaje says "even good."
Shaevairc says "Filk is the music that goes along with fantasy, nothing else..."
Rayek says "No, Vilnolin, just be patient. :)"
ELFQUEST says "Fairlight, we doubt it."
Serpent says "Folk.....or Irish music fits better."
Vilnolin laughs "I;m not, normally. but, for you guys (all of you) i will
Fairlight It's very nice to hear that you'd like to do a Bloodsongs production.
Champing at the bit for that one. Not literally champing at a bit, of course,
though some might be.
Tasmonia says "I have a question for Wendy--is she here?"
Ayerth says "I'm sure some of the more adult groups online are. ;P"
ELFQUEST says "Hamilasdaje, We've talked with some performers and producers
about that, it's on the back burner for now."
Goldeye looks at Elfquest........."I think she is:)"
Barb has connected.
Guest1 has left.
Serpent says "Heck, you could probably get another album of pure fan-made
music."
Guest1 has left.
ELFQUEST says "Forgive us if we're slow in replying, we're talking stuff on the
phone back with Important People in New York."
ELFQUEST says "Tas, Wendy is here."
Vilnolin says "i'm in ny!"
Ayerth says "They can time it pretty well, can't they?"
Vilnolin grins sheepishly "sorry."
FireHunter says "Are you talking on the Phone!?:) Vil:)"
hamilasdaje says "what is Bloodsong"
ELFQUEST says "Where in NY?"
Immin has left.
Dix giggles. This is Warp for you: phoning, chatting online, probably doing
seven other things too. ;)
Vilnolin says "whiteplains"
ELFQUEST says "Eight and counting!"
Tasmonia says "Wendy, are there some things you still struggle with in terms of
the art for EQ? What have been some of your recent victories/accomplishments in
terms of the art?"
Vilnolin says "probably spelled it wrong. too much physica"
Frixx says "just tell us your phone number 8-)"
Goldeye says "I used to be in NY, Niagara Falls."
ELFQUEST says "That's just down from Poughkeepsie!"
Thitida-No-Cheywas in WhitePlains once... I think...!
Savah is stuck in alabama, so no cool cons...wah.
ELFQUEST says "Wendy'll be back in a moment - she's gone to fax some stuff."
Vilnolin looks bemused "all of you were there?"
Tavie says "I'm in NY."
Serpent says "Here's another one....the issue came up recently by folks on this
MUSH that ElfQuest elves don't place much significance on the act of kissing. Is
that true?"
Fairlight says "Wendy: Could you describe some of the rituals you have with
drawing - I mean, the mechanics of setting a scene, layouts, then building upon
it with tighter pencils and inking? With what do you ink - and how have you
brought photoshop into the equation?"
Tasmonia says "I think I'll be going to grad school in Ithaca--then maybe I can
to to Balticon and finally meet the Pinis"
Ayerth says "Bloodsongs is something mentioned from a long time ago; an
anthology of more naughty Elfquest-based stories...."naughty" in a sexy way."
ELFQUEST says "serpent, that is correct."
Vosse grins "I always thought Poughkeepsie was a fake name... LOL. But hey, then
again I'm not from the USA.
Ranna says "Or is the kissing thing just wolfriders?"
Rahna has arrived.
Rayek volunteers Kahvi for a Bloodsongs story.
Zarah has connected.
Frixx says "where the heck is Poughkeepsie (rhetorical)"
Kahvi smirks evily
Tavie says "Poughkeepsie is famous. Vassar's there, and some chef school."
ELFQUEST says "Ranna, we've tried to avoid having kissing be the Big Deal among
elves that it is to humans, as a social custom."
Fairlight says "Halfway between Albany and NY, I think."
Reed would be great for a Bloodsong story
Rikkert says "Doesn't somebody on tv say Poughkeepsie to stop stottering? OH i
know, the short guy from Ally McBeal"
Shaevairc says "Serpent: Filk can be everything..."
Dix snirks. "Poughkeepsie is sorta north of Montgomery and south of everything
else in Upstate."
Serpent says "I just found it odd because well....don't wolves regurgitate food
to their young?"
Reed grins shamelessly
Vilnolin says "do you guys have any tips for a fantasy writer? especially one
who has had two vampire novels turned down?"
ELFQUEST says "Ayerth, erotic as opposed to prurient."
Kahvi says ">you< have to know, Rayek ;)"
Ranna says "I try to keep 'in canon' with rp, but not everyone does"
Ayerth says "Of course. Naughty in a good way. =)"
Rayek looks innocent. Ahem.
Tavie says "I do: stop writing vampire novels."
ELFQUEST says "'some chef school'... mutter"
Dix uh, no, maybe it's south of Montgomery too. I had to go past it to get to
Montgomery. <absentminded>
Tavie says "What?"
Tavie says "What's it called?"
Nienke says "Strange Question: do you look more like a troll or an elf? *grin*"
Fairlight says "What's wrong with prurience? In sex for its own unadorned sake
as an emotional and physical union?"
Vilnolin laughs "I write sidhe novels... their elves that are allergic to iron
ELFQUEST says "Is someone equating regurgitation with kissing? Or did we miss
something??"
Serpent says "But does that make kissing any less pleasurable to them?"
Tavie says "Someone's not been kissing right."
Guest1 has left.
Dix falls over. "Which person are we talking about when we ask if they look more
like elves or trolls?" ;) ;) ;)
ELFQUEST says "Vilnolin, just keep writing and writing and writing and reading
and writing and..."
Vilnolin pat's elfquest "you're about as lost as i am." grins
Frixx has partially disconnected.
Nienke says "All :P"
Frixx says "prurient... (dictionary) ...right"
Tavie says "Troll."
Rikkert says "I am more Trollish"
Tasmonia says "Is it possible for prose writers to self-publish the way many
comic writers have?"
Rahna definitely does not personally associate kissing and regurgitating. I
think I missed it too. ;)
Vosse wonders about the soulname thing. So Elfquest: do parents forget the
soulname of their cubs eventually? And would family like halfbrothers, even when
they don't know each other, know each others soulname?
Serpent says "Sorry about that regurgitation reference....I guess it's just some
memories of a discovery channel thingy about where the kiss came from."
Tavie says "But those little rubber trolls with the purple hair."
Vilnolin says "may nickname nin school is 'the paztic fairie', so i think more
like elf"
Nienke says "I' more Elfish, I like trees better than caves ;)"
yanaka has disconnected.
Tavie says "That wasn't the question. I like trees better too."
Vilnolin says "and that was spaztic, not paztic"
Tavie says "Spastic?"
ELFQUEST says "Serpent, they do things with all parts of their bodies that are
pleasurable. Let's leave it at that. ;)"
Guest1 has arrived.
ELFQUEST says "Tas, anything is possible. Certainly that is."
Vilnolin says "yeah, was in a midsummer's night dream, and kept yelling 'it's
red'"
Vosse grins at the answer of the Pini's.
Frixx keeps checking the dictionary
Leetah has disconnected.
ELFQUEST says "Vosse, we're not certain that parents knowing their cubs'
soulnames is canonical."
Serpent says "Aye....I think that was in the RPG manual."
Tavie belches. Smells like pears.
Leila says "So that is something from the anthologies, and not necessarily
canon?"
Eeew.
ELFQUEST says "The RPG manual certainly isn't all canonical."
Vilnolin looks confused at the words never known befroe "i'm going to take a
leaf out of frixx's book and grab a dictionary.
Vosse needs to check the dic for 'canonical'.
ELFQUEST says "Leila, yes."
Barb has disconnected.
Ranna says "In one of the prose books, Rhanee hears it during birthsong, right?"
Zarah says "A friend of mine is relaying questions to me through Yahoo, cause
her computer's ancient."
Ranna says "her cub's soul name"
Savah refrains from asking questions about wolf-elf relationships, in the
context of timmain...eh...
Vilnolin says "there are prose books? where have i been?"
ELFQUEST says "Ranna, I only edited them, I never read them! ;) (says Richard)"
Zarah says "Remanth says, "what happens between Winnowill and Rayek?"
Ranna laughs
Ayerth chuckles. "Richard, you're totally blowing the majority of the people
here with your expansive vocabulary."
Dix notes that it's in the anthologies, but mostly in the early times - i.e.
Rahnee - maybe elves lost the ability (or Wolfelves, anyway) to know their
childrens' soulnames in time.
Tavie says "'Blood of Ten Chiefs' series of short stories by various fantasy
writers, and some novelizations of the first few graphic novels by W & R."
ELFQUEST says "Zarah, lots!"
Rayek says "Yeah, what happens between Winnowill and .. wait."
Fairlight says "How does knowledge of the Elves' world filter through the ether
to you guys? Is it mostly planned, developing though its own force of logic, or
is it more inspired/intuited as time goes on?"
Tavie says "He's such a show-off."
Vilnolin laughs "i am so lost."
ELFQUEST says "Ayerth, I eschew obfuscation."
Dix patpats Rayek. <g>
Ayerth says "could have fooled me. o.o"
Goldeye laughs
Vosse is sorry but doesn't understand the 'canonical' thing. The dic says it's
something with priests.. but that doesn't make sense. Help?
Vilnolin says "i knew what that meant"
ELFQUEST says "Fairlight, it's simply a reflection of whatever"
ELFQUEST says "whatever is within us, what we see, feel, learn."
Frixx says "obfuscating this is..."
Dix says "When ELFQUEST says canonical, they mean "true according to the word of
Elfquest law." that's pretty close."
Tavie says "Canon refers to things that are "officially" recognized within the
context of the work in question."
Leila thinks the similar names (Rahna/Ranna) are a little confusing, but thanks,
Richard! :)
Ranna says "Itisn't in the canon, that is, the offical works"
Dix says "Things can be published that aren't canonical, like Worldpool
stories."
Reed sits on her branch by herself and hope yanaka returns again...
ELFQUEST says "Vosse, in this context, 'canonical' means 'it's the real thing'."
Dix says "And still be, ahem, legally protected."
Vilnolin says "i hate to bring in another fandom, but they say it allot if you
read lotr fan fiction"
ELFQUEST says "Be right back..."
Tavie says "Ewwwwww."
Frixx says "remember canons of Gettysburg..."
Vilnolin waves to pinis
Ayerth says "Is there a "Big Book of Stuff we Can't Do" stored in your home
somewhere, Richard? Some guidelines that you have to follow? Or do you just keep
all of that in your head?"
Dix uhm, those are cannons, with lots of Ns
Ayerth says "If so, could you publish it to give us RP'ers some insight? =P"
Zarah locksends Remanth
Dix wants to know that one too, Elfypeople. :)
Serpent says "I probably wouldn't exist here if there was."
Vilnolin says "that would be good if he could give us that book..."
Frixx says "just thinking of old letters..."
Vilnolin frowns "i certainly wouldn't"
Schaduwlach has connected.
Vosse thanks for all the explanations. :)
Nienke says "Hey Schaduwlach! :P"
Schaduwlach says "Heeeey Nien!"
Vilnolin says "do all of you know each other?"
Serpent is entirely out of questions. He goes back to tending the bar.
"Dreamberry wine on the house!"
Frixx says "certainly not"
Nienke says "Yes Vosse"
Felerian has connected.
Vosse whooohoos and hugs the other Dutchies around here.
Ranna says "I don't think I know anyone here"
Nienke says "Dutchies or Dushi's? ;)"
FireHunter grins "Vosse is in heaven:)
Ranna says "personally, that is, ahven't rped with them"
Serpent has disconnected.
FireHunter says "EQ and dutch:)"
Schaduwlach says "ofcorse Vosse XD"
Savah knows the MUSHer and 1/2 of the pinis, but that's it.
asrana says "i certainly don't know anyone in here"
Thitida-No-Chey says "Ranna : Don't feel bad about that, neither do I! :)"
Pass the duchie on the left hand side...
Rikkert says "yes we do"
Savah says "MUSHers that is."
Serpent has connected.
Vosse grins
Rikkert says "small country, only 16 million people"
Serpent says "Agh...hit the wrong button."
Vilnolin politely asks for a mug of dreamberry wine
Ayerth says "Uh, oh, the Pini's are silent. Something's happening."
Rahna says "He said he'd be right back. :)"
Vilnolin says "they said theid be gone for a mainute"
Serpent serves up a mug for Vilnolin.
Vilnolin says "let's all answer"
Frixx says "thought Abode had 2 billion..."
Ranna says "big exciting things with the people in new york I hope"
Nienke says "or they don't like Dutch people ;)"
Ayerth says "Ah, missed that."
Rahna says "Hopefully good exciting things. ;)"
Vosse yeas, heaven. EQ and dutchies... LOL
Dix curls up on the couch. What do you mean, what couch? This couch, this one
right here that I brought with me!
Sandstorm says "They said they'd be right back."
Sandstorm says "They said they'd be right back."
Sandstorm says "They said they'd be right back."
Vilnolin says "nope. just tired form a vert long day. i've been to europe, i
like you guys"
ELFQUEST says "Back - sorry - karking fax machine."
FireHunter hands you the hammer
Ayerth laughs. "You press the green button to send, dear."
Serpent cranks up the jukebox in the corner by pressing a button behind the bar.
Fairlight says "Fix the faxin fax machine"
ELFQUEST says "Anyone asked a question in the meantime, please repeat?"
Goldeye hands Elfquest the saw after they receive the hammer.
Schaduwlach says "Hello Elfquest again XD"
ELFQUEST says "Ayerth, thank you ever so much..."
Vilnolin says "we were just comparing countrise"
Ayerth says "Is there a "Big Book of Stuff we Can't Do" stored in your home
somewhere, Richard? Some guidelines that you have to follow? Or do you just keep
all of that in your head?""
Dix and Ayerth want to know if you have a Big Book of Stuff You Can't Do. :)
Tasmonia says "apparently half the population of the NLs is here"
Ayerth says "If so, can you publish it so we can get some insight?"
hamilasdaje says "I've read the page about the new coloring of the first
episode. Dont like it very much. It is so cold."
hamilasdaje says "The old coloring was so great... (the first, not that from
Marvel)"
ELFQUEST says "Ayerth, no, I keep all that stuff in our heads. Safer there."
Schaduwlach says "*lol*"
Nienke says "EQ is good promoted in Holland ;)"
Frixx says "ah.. the Donning days..."
Rikkert says "Question: Will you be doing chats more often now. It seems to be
going well, and you down alway have to do 4 ;-)"
Vosse nodnods and smiles
Ayerth curses softly. "Well then....do you take bribery?"
Vilnolin pouts "and here i thought we could actually have a guide line."
ELFQUEST says "Hamil, all art is in the eye of the beholder - this new edition
will be Wendy's vision as she always wanted to see it."
Tasmonia says "Which new edition is that?"
ELFQUEST says "Rikkert, everything's negotiable!"
Dix ... new edition? Catch me up, which potential new book are we talking about?
Vilnolin says "cool. i love new editions"
Ayerth says "will there be signed, numbered additions? I want."
Frixx says "Does it mean brighter colors?"
ELFQUEST says "Ayerth, everything's negotiable!"
Vilnolin says "if their not super expensive"
Tavie says "Someone kick him, he's on autopilot."
Schaduwlach says "hehe Nienke :p dit is echt zo moeilijk te volgen voor me XD"
ELFQUEST says "Dix, the new colored graphic novels we've talked about."
Ayerth says "Speaking for myself, I'll spend around $100 for a good limited
edition."
hamilasdaje says "than its OK. but please dont make because computer colored
sales better"
Nienke says "Hehe I know Schaduwlach"
Ayerth says "yes, per book. I have entirely too much money. ;P"
Tavie says "You poor thing!"
Vosse awws at Shaduwlach
Tavie says "I'd be glad to take some of it off your hands."
Vilnolin says "i wish i had your problem"
Traest feels sorry for Ayerth. :)
ELFQUEST says "Someone asked a question about art challenges to Wendy? Could you
repeat that?"
FireHunter would spend 35 or so for a color GN on average if they had them!:)
Tasmonia says "I always thought the FTP versions were pretty reasonably priced,
considering that they're hardbound and glossy"
Ranna says "The new color editions are the one thing I want as much as the
movie"
Tavie says "Ditto, Tasmonia."
Savah waves out.
Tasmonia says "It was my question...just a second as I recompose it..."
Savah has left.
Tavie says "Ditto, RAnna."
ELFQUEST says "Tas, yes they were. Underpriced for the market, unfortuately."
Rikkert says "GENERAL QUESTION Have you ever paid absurd amounts for EQ-items?"
Ayerth says "Someone's selling the collected signed donning online for around, I
think, $450 or so."
Tavie says "Someone kick me, I'm on autopilot."
LegendaryShannon has connected.
Vilnolin says "machines? here? were they invented already?"
Zarah says "I'm buying those Colored GN as soon as they're out."
ELFQUEST says "We need to start using eBay more for all this stuff we've
accumulated..."
Ayerth raises hand. $500 for a sketch of Leetah from e-bay obscene enough?
Vilnolin laughs
FireHunter boggles
Schaduwlach says "*hugs Vosse*"
Tasmonia says "Wendy: I was wondering what current challenges you face with the
art of EQ and what some of your recent victories/accomplishments have been
artistically? What problems have you overcome?"
Frixx says "in Finland every eq item is pays absurd amounts of money..."
LegendaryShannon says "hello again"
Ranna says "yeah Pinis, you could amke a killing"
Tavie says "I paid $4 each for the first three D-S editions. You'll never find
that kind of price now."
Ranna says "Make, sorry about my typing"
Fairlight says "Also, how have your brought photoshop into the artistic
process?"
Vilnolin says "like when hamburgers were 10 cents"
asrana says "Frixx, that's true!"
Rikkert says "Ayerth: Yes, but it's a one of a kind. I did get offerd 3 original
Fire-eye scetch-pages, for about $90 a piece, but didn't have the money. I
touched the though"
Zarah wonders if a Wacom tablet is used in the making of Elfquest novels.
Tavie says "Man, Elfquest is huge in Scandinavia. I wonder if it's because
trolls and stuff were invented there/"
Tavie says "Am I lagging?"
Zarah says "What lag?"
hamilasdaje says "the best is the inking. got a original EQ in only ink.
wonderful!!"
Vilnolin says "they don't sell the books anymore here. they have to be ordered
through the website, and forget any merchandise. *pouts*"
Thitida-No-Chey says "Tavie : in Scandinavia??? Which part are U from?? :)"
Frixx says "the trolls just hid in the northern forests..."
Goldeye says "perhaps they are trying to catch up:)"
asrana says "it doesn't seem to be huge in Finland"
Schaduwlach says "Vosse, dis de (2e x vandaag) 1e x dat ik hier kom eigenlijk
;p"
Barb has connected.
Sandstorm watches the screen roll like a ball down a hill in Cincinnati...
Mender has arrived.
Vilnolin says "have you ever noticed the u.s. has no 'legends aside the native
american ones?"
Tavie says "I'm from New York, but I have friends in Scandinavia and if you just
look at the online demographic, lots of .fl and .se and what-have-you in their
addresses."
Rikkert says "I myself got the numbered/signed Hidden YEars 9.5 for $20 And i
still feel it's one of the best comics of them all"
FireHunter says "well we are fairly young"
Coldmist says "Schaduwlach, please keep it to English, or page the person you
are talking to in Dutch"
Frixx says "saako taalla puhua vieraita kielia?"
Tavie says "The hell we don't, Vilnolin!"
Mender has left.
Zarah agrees w/ Rikkert
Serpent says "Hey about the doomed Saturday morning cartoon. Was an episode ever
finished?"
Frixx says "sorry"
Ayerth says "Richard and Wendy: Is there going to be another "Fantasy With Teeth
Tour for the 25th anniversery? I made it to the last one."
Tavie says "American folklore comes from more than just Native American
tradition/"
Elfquest has disconnected.
Vilnolin looks confusidly at Tavie
Schaduwlach says "I'm sorry :$"
Thitida-No-Chey says "Tavie : hmmm! I never saw ElfQuest until I stumbled across
it accidentally... Accidents can be good too! :)"
Coldmist says "oops"
Kaer has arrived.
Fairlight says "Ah yes, the legendary Elfquest animated shorts....."
Kaer has left.
FireHunter chuckles
Goldeye says "oops"
Thitida-No-Chey says "Frixx : hvad SIGER du?!"
FireHunter says "someone tripped over a power cord"
FireHunter says "probly;)"
Dix watches Elfquest lose its connect somehow.
Elfquest has connected.
Tasmonia says "It must be those blasted preservers!"
Ranna says "whew"
Zarah says "I just confirmed a Road trip to San Diego w/Remanth, should be
fun!."
Goldeye says "WB Richard and Wendy"
Ayerth says "Richard and Wendy: Is there going to be another "Fantasy With Teeth
Tour for the 25th anniversery? I made it to the last one."
ELFQUEST says "Sorry, got booted. Happens even to High Ones."
Rayek chuckles.
Ayerth says "Do you use AOL?"
Serpent says "Hey about the doomed Saturday morning cartoon. Was an episode ever
finished?"
Vilnolin grins sheepishly "i only reallty know folklore from my tribe... sorry
if that was a blanket statement."
Tavie says "All your circuits are belong to us."
Dix batbats Tavie with one paw. :)
Frixx says "just praise the famous video..."
ELFQUEST says "Anyway, to answer Tas' question: Wendy says Photoshop has freed
her to pursue an even more powerful graphic style, and she's thrilled with the
new EQ colors."
Tavie says "Makes sense. And the popular conception of folklore does tend
towards that of the indigenous-culture sort. But it's a lot more than that."
Ayerth says "Are those what she did the front pages of the website with?"
Tasmonia says "So will all the work be done on computer now? No more fabulous
inking?"
Frixx says "the colors are fine on the screen, but on paper?"
Zarah huggles Adobe Photoshop
ELFQUEST says "Ayerth, we'd love to but our plates are so full this year with
new material and new 'old' material for you."
hamilasdaje says "ok. i was wrong. sorry :)"
Rikkert says "Today's fron page looks GREAT"
Vilnolin says "what new story lines have you guys drafted?"
Kahvi says "Photoshop is great, I am sure the comics will turn out just
uber-great"
ELFQUEST says "Tas, you will see the very same linework as always, but the
special effects in color will be new and wonderful."
FireHunter yeahs be surprised the type of prints you can get off a machine these
days!
Rayek goes home.
Rayek has left.
ELFQUEST says "Serpent, nothing was ever done for Saturday morning."
Tasmonia says "Thanks for the answer, EQ."
asrana says "I like the inking better because it shows every little detail"
hamilasdaje says "yepp"
Serpent says "I just noticed that animation cel in the Gatherum and I had to
ask."
Vilnolindoesn't like cpu coloring, mostly because all of her works turn out
horrible
FireHunter grins "Some very tiny imperfections canmake things Perfect No
Asrana?:)
Frixx says "but Wendy is THE master of black ink (whines)"
ELFQUEST says "Vilnolin, Wendy's doing a continuation from 'Full Circle' for
starters."
Ayerth says "Another question: Where are you doing this chat from, anyway? Your
office? Spare bedroom, what?"
Zarah says "Wendy's the master of color too!"
ELFQUEST says "Ayerth, from a hidden bunker deep within Blue Mountain."
Frixx says "that she is, Zarah"
hamilasdaje says "and of story"
Dix laughs. Yeah, Where ARE you?
Fairlight says "How far off is the Final Quest?"
Tavie says "Are you wearing shoes?"
FireHunter knew it
Ayerth says "Hey, I've been there. Great headroom. ;P"
Vilnolin grins "cool"
Reed just looks down at Ayerth amazed at his curiousity
Goldeye says "they have to hide with all the fans out there:)"
Zarah locksends with Remanth
ELFQUEST says "Fairlight, far off, at the moment. Got too much else to do."
Tasmonia says ">is< there a Final Quest anymore?!?"
asrana says "FireHunter that's right :)"
Vilnolin says "does anyone know if comic stores are still selling the comics?
none of the ones by me are"
Serpent says "Ya know, another memory just came up regarding an ElfQuest video
game. Back when Rogue's Challenge came out I entertained the idea of turning
that battle into a Double Dragon-style game."
Coldmist says "You have to keep on poking them, Vilnolin :)"
Ranna says "yeah, I found some reprints at my comcic store"
ELFQUEST says "Vilnolin, well, the comics stopped in 1998. Comics shops are
still selling the books, though."
Rikkert says "QUESTION: WHen you went from color-comics back to B/W-comics, was
it planned beforehand to let it be at that part of the story of New Blood?
because it had a special effect!"
Ayerth says "Usually special orders are it, Vil. They can get the books from
Diamond."
Thitida-No-Chey says "Serpent : THAT could be fun!"
Frixx says "but New Bllod"
Vilnolin says "i don't want to poke them... they might get hurt."
ELFQUEST says "Rikkert, that was a happy serendipity!"
LegendaryShannon has disconnected.
Frixx says "but New Blood was the only one"
Zarah says "You can get bookstores to order Elfquest graphic novels"
Nienke says "wat is dit dan precies normaal?"
Ranna says "My Borders always has them, they have a big graphic naovels section"
FireHunter says "sometimes it's cheaper online though. but other times it's
not:)"
Ayerth says "Or go to www.elfquest.com. ;P"
Nienke says "oeps :$"
Tasmonia says "Is the switch to color for personal/aesthetic reasons, or because
color sells?"
ELFQUEST says "Ranna, we love Borders' stores for that."
Ranna says "me too!"
ELFQUEST says "Tas, both!"
Rahna says "Me too. :)"
Zarah loves Borders too, "'tis my second home!
Ranna says "i couldn'tbeleive it the first time I saw them"
Vilnolin pots because there is no borders near her... and she even has a gift
card to it
Rahna wishes there were one closer to her home.
FireHunter has never even heard of borders:)
ELFQUEST says "With online shops (including eq.com) there should be no trouble
getting the books."
Tasmoniathanks the powers that be for all the great comic book shops in the
Minneapolis area
Ayerth says "Question: We know Richard's favorite character is Skywise. Do you
have a fave, Wendy?"
Vilnolin says "no. cept my mom when on a book spree and bought about 10 at
once..."
Ranna say to firehunter "Very like barnes and Noble"
Frixx says "Ayerth are you serious?"
Vilnolin grins at richard's fav
Ayerth says "It's a good question, ain't it?"
FireHunter Ahs!
Tavie says "Narcissist."
ELFQUEST says "Ayerth, Wendy says as she always says, Cutter speaks for her, but
she loves them all. Richard says the same regarding Skywise - no 'favorites'."
Ayerth says "thought so."
Ranna says "Does eveyone else have favorites?"
asrana says "I've gotta go to sleep now. It was an honor meeting you Pini's :)"
Nienke says "DART!"
Frixx says "Kullyn Kenn"
asrana says "Good night everyone!"
Vilnolin says "we all have characters that represent or speak for us... but, you
can never really bring it all down to one"
hamilasdaje says "night"
Tavie says "Night Asrana."
FireHunter says "Cutter, treestump, Suntoucher."
Vosse nodnods "Strongbow!!"
asrana has disconnected.
Zarah says "night night"
Zarah sighs
Schaduwlach says "I'm going too"
Vilnolin says "my name speaks for the character i can most relate to"
Schaduwlach says "mzzls(K)(K)(K)"
FireHunter wishes all that are going a fair well and that they remember to have
FUN!!
Ranna agrees with Vilmolin
Schaduwlach has disconnected.
hamilasdaje says "wolfriders. all of them"
Vilnolin says "(i said before it means skywise in tolkien elvish)"
Vosse bye Schaduwlach!
Tasmonia says "Wendy, do you ever get completely sick of elves?"
Nienke says "DOei!"
ELFQUEST says "We've found that at different times in the story, different
characters have spoken for us in various ways."
Ranna says "ohh, good one!"
Tavie says "Check out her new artwork. Not elves!"
ELFQUEST says "Tas, when she does, she turns to doing the dishes."
hamilasdaje says "but great"
Vilnolin says "tavie, where is new artwork?"
Tasmonialaughs heartily
Vosse pouts "too late to say Schaduwlach goodbye..."
Tavie says "Elfquest.com"
Ayerth thought you had trolls for that...
Tavie says "Previews."
Vilnolin nods "should have realized that..."
Goldeye says "Hey Wendy, have Richard do em once in a while!:)"
Tavie says "No dishwasher?"
ELFQUEST says "Everything we want you to know is on elfquest.com, you just have
to go there and navigate a bit."
FireHunter laughs
Frixx says "there is a mermaid with long black hair..."
Ranna says "Yay for EQ.com, I love it"
Tavie says "It's very well done."
ELFQUEST says "Goldeye, he does!"
Tasmonia says "Wendy, how long were you in California/when did you get back?"
FireHunter Ohs, thought GoldEye ment richard should draw the elves:)
Goldeye says "lol"
Ayerth remembers back in the day....EQ.com is coming. ;P
Frixx says "Wendy is back?"
ELFQUEST says "Tas, we're both back and forth constantly."
Tavie says "I think Richard should draw a whole comic. It would be highly
surprising and amusing."
Tasmonia says "I third that motion!"
Ayerth says "no, that stick figure is Skywise. See his head?"
FireHunter bets after so many years he might surprise us:)
ELFQUEST says "Tavie, I'd only have to sell one at $50,000. to make it worth
it."
Tavie says "I think Richard can probably draw better than we think he can."
Ayerth says "Wendy: That looks like you traced a cheerio.""
Thitida-No-Chey says "Tavie : I'd like to see that too! *eyes Richard*"
Tavie says "Ta-ha!"
Rikkert says "I came up with Elentir! I used Tolkien's the Silmarillion and
tried to get the two halfs correct by looking at other names. It means
Starwatcher"
Tasmonia says "For next year's calendar, I think I'll recruit soley non-artists"
Tavie says "I think that would be amazing, Tasmonia."
marissa has connected.
Tavie says "I love to see what people who don't fancy themselves artists can
come up with."
Vilnolin is fluent in elvish
marissa says "Hiya guys and girls, I'm back"
Zarah says "Allo Marrisa"
Tavie says "Hi Marissa."
marissa waves kindly to everybody.
Frixx says "isnt that elfin?"
Tavie says "Elf-ese."
Ranna says "Bravo Vilnolin"
Vilnolinis so not a good artist. "But, that's why i love the comics so much.
between elfquest and tmnt, i have a room full of comics!"
FireHunter says "Problem is I look at wendy art then draw and go,,BLEH!"
Rahna says "If it's Tolkein, it's elven. If it's Pini, it's elfin. I think. ;)"
Tavie says "But it inspires you to draw."
Vilnolin says "no it's elvish. and thank you Ranna *bows*"
ELFQUEST says "Rahna, you got it."
Ayerth has an idea. "Why don't you publish an small book. "Two Moon Tales." TAke
some of the better Roleplays here and give them a EQ treatment?
Ranna says "Yeah, tolkien changed his to the 'v'"
Tasmonia says "Tavie, it certainly does! EQ has inspired me to do so many
things"
marissa says "Richard, what time is it at the moment with you?"
Vosse was also inspired by Wendy to draw. :)
FireHunter says "I mean there are several good artists here I am sure that
compare themselves to wendy art and go, Boy I can't draw:)"
Thitida-No-Chey says "Firehunter : makes 2 of us then..."
Tavie says "The important thing is that you're inspired to create something
yourself, and practice and get better."
Ranna says "Oh, wow, I like that idea a lot Ayerth, best of the web"
Vilnolin says "we should make a book as a gift and send it to WaRP with all our
characters and 'new tribe' and fanfiction"
Nienke says "Question: how do you keep the characters act like themself? I mean
when I write the person character keeps changing.."
marissa says "It's twelve o clock at night in Holland."
ELFQUEST says "Ayerth, we've made a strict policy of using only those ideas that
come from within ourselves - that way it's both a lot simpler, and a lot safer."
Zarah nods
Goldeye nods
Vosse whoohooos "another Dutchie!"
Nienke says "WHO?"
IceFire says "00:03"
marissa woohoos right back.
Vosse grins and points at Marissa
marissa says "picky picky picky"
Ranna agrees, understands reasons
Nienke says "Holland is taking over EQ ;)"
Frixx says "midnight in Moscow (actually 01:00)"
ELFQUEST says "Nienke, Wendy says each character has certain personality traits
that are like musical notes in a symphony - that's why you can always recognize,
say, a Beethoven symphony. You have to learn each character's notes completely,
and then let the music flow."
marissa says "Stop pointing at me!"
Vilnolin says "yeah. using others ideas can lead to big trouble"
Ayerth says "True, it does keep a nice can of worms sealed, doesn't it?"
Nienke says "tnx eq :)"
Vosse stops pointing and pouts
marissa says "Aww, come now, don't cry.."
Kahvi says "I think a lot of people have started drawing because of Wendy Pini's
art. Wendy has been an inspiration for so many, and have opened many people's
hearts. I just think most people just forget that they shouldn't aim to draw
exactly like Wendy, but should create something unique as well. I think that's
why most people don't like the series that were not drawn by Wendy. 'Everything
that is not done by Wendy, is not Elfquest', but people forget the unique-ness
about every artist's work ... just my two cents."
ELFQUEST says "How late are some of you going to stay on??"
Vilnolin says "well, Elfquest, do you like the fan-book idea?"
hamilasdaje says "midnight in hamburg. my clock is late.."
Serpent says "Well I feel quite satisfied with the questions I've asked. I'm
gonna go take a break myself or I'm gonna burn out."
Vosse hrmfs "I don't cry..."
marissa says "ehhh... you really wanna know?"
FireHunter says "So if this chat goes well, are you planning on more of this
globlal get together of sorts?"
Zarah says "I love Lorraine's artwork in Elfquest"
ELFQUEST says "Kahvi, thank you!"
marissa says "I hopeso"
redmike has connected.
FireHunter is on his weekend and plans on staying home for a gooooooooooood
house cleaning and such:)
Frixx says "how about forever?"
marissa says "Yes, Lorraine is quite good."
Ranna nods emphatically at Khavi
Tasmonia says "It would be really great if there was a chat dedicated entirely
to art-questions, like a mini art course"
Vosse chuckles "as long as it's possible"
Tavie says "It's 6 already. I should get out of my pajamas."
Thitida-No-Cheyshould go sleep sometime soon... Long day tomorrow, with lots to
do
ELFQUEST says "Firehunter, sure - we've got the rest of EQ's 25th anniversary
year to consider."
Tavie says "We should move the chat over to isketch and challenge Wendy to
online pictionary. ;)"
Thitida-No-Chey says "go TO even... damn, my spelling isn't the best this time
o'night! :P"
FireHunter cheers,,and errs calmly "cewl:)
Tasmonia says "yes! great idea, tavie!"
Vilnolin says "you know, i don't know many authors that would chat with fans...
i think you guys are really special to dedicate so much time to your fans"
Tavie says "Maybe one day. Pictionary-chat with Wendy."
Thitida-No-Chey says "Tavie YEAH! GREAT IDEA!!!"
Serpent is off to learn how the Morrowind Editor works.
ELFQUEST says "Not a positive effect, staying up so late?"
Tavie says "No cheating. Mouse drawing only."
Kahvi smiles, "There is nothing to thank :) If I could back just one percent of
what you have done for me -- even if not willingly -- my heart would feel all
content. Sounds dramatically, but I just had to say that."
marissa says "those Elfquest guys are not ordinary vips"
Serpent has left.
Vilnolinnodds in agreement
Thitida-No-CheyJust sits and chuckles a little
ELFQUEST says "Vilnolin, we're not that special, but we do appreciate all you
all have done over the years, supporting EQ. That deserves something back."
marissa says "Thanks for driving to Phouaghkeepskie..."
Vilnolin says "i wish all authors could be so nice. *smiles* and come up with
such great ideas"
Tasmonia says "Yes, you are that special! Don't you understand that?"
Thitida-No-Chey says "Marissa: It's harder to pronounce than it is to spell!
'g*"
marissa applaudes Wendy and Richard.
hamilasdaje says "cant spell it."
Vilnolingives standing ovation
Tavie says "The close fan contact is very special. It keeps people coming back."
marissa says "It's a hard name to spell and say."
Tavie says "Puh-kip-see. Easy."
hamilasdaje says "yepp"
Goldeye says "Question for Richard and Wendy: You've dealt with some real tough
issues over the years, what was the toughest to get through with Elfquest?""
Ranna says ""yes, you are special, Elfquest is one of the most wonderful things
I've ever read"
ELFQUEST says "Don't underestimate Wendy only using a mouse - that Winnowill
poster she did, was done that way."
Tavie says "That is incredible."
Tasmonia says "holy cats!"
ELFQUEST says "Goldeye, give us a moment on that one...,"
Vilnolinagrees with tavie
Tavie says "Now, how about only a trackpad?"
Rikkert says "some authors do chat or read mail. Mostly relatively new or young
authors. And people who care about their creations and about the people who get
to see/read/listen/whatever to it"
Dix sees nothing wrong with mouse-drawing. Some people, like me, never did get
used to tablets.
Frixx says "WOW"
FireHunter wows!
Zarah says "I can't get used to tablets either :("
Tasmonia says "Okay, I take back most of my bad-mouthing about computer coloring
now"
Dix says "Though...if Wendy hasn't TRIED a tablet she certainly should. ;)
Everyone should try it at least once. <g>"
Vosse wows
marissa says "I can't live without those drawing tablets.."
FireHunter says "touchscreen:)"
Thitida-No-Cheyis quite good with mousedrawing... Hurts her wrists like H*ll
but... :)
ELFQUEST says "Goldeye, probably the toughest issue has been, the issue of
killing - when is it justified, under what conditions, and how does it change
you?"
Dix eyes FireHunter. Show me the money. :)
Tavie says "I'd love to try a tablet out. LOoks really fun. I'm always
disappointed when I'm in an isketch game with people who use them, though.
Unfair advantage."
ELFQUEST says "Dix, she's a whiz on a Wacom these days!"
FireHunter hmms "maybe thats why I can't afford one either:)
Goldeye says "ouchm yeah was a tough one........."
Vilnolin says "Richard (i am assuming it's you online) what inspired you to
start elfquest? any novels or stories or myths inspire you?"
marissa says "the tablet I have is about an a4 in size.."
Dix oooh! <takes notes> Thanks.
Tasmonia says "are there any characters you regret killing?"
ELFQUEST says "Vilnolin, we're both right here. And the answer's been in so many
interviews and web sites we're going to let that one slide."
Larias has arrived.
marissa says "We all are greatful that Skywise survived.. thanks Richard."
Zarah says "The best thing about the tablets is- you can vary the paint width,
color, and opacity just by applying pressure with the pen. Depends on what
options you use."
FireHunter goes into a frenzy "OneEye... Oh pooor pooor oneye:)
ELFQUEST says "Tas, every one of them."
Tasmonia says "Okay...now i feel a little better about Skot"
Frixx says "i glad Gertler did not kill Rayek"
marissa says "the dream Skot had was tragic and hautingly beautiful.."
Ranna says "I'm so sad for Rayek now"
ELFQUEST says "There isn't a single character in EQ, good or bad, whose death we
didn't mourn."
Tasmonia says "I cried when I read that issue of Dreamtime (about Skot)"
FireHunter passes around the tissues
Tavie says "Me too."
Zarah takes a tissue
marissa says "yeheheees... sob"
Dix awwwws. That's sweet. "Would you say any of them - the chars who died -
served the purpose the storyline needed them to, in dying, but that you'd have
rather chosen someone else to be the dying one?"
Nienke says "Why did you let them die than EQ? :S"
Tasmonia says "And of course One-eye...I mean, sheesh, I was seven! That was
tough to handle"
Tavie says "Part of the story."
Ayerth says "Probably because the story would be false without it."
marissa says "I really cried over Lord Voll.."
Tavie says "His betrayal made his death easier for me. :P"
ELFQUEST says "Dix, each death was carefully thought out, argued over, and
resigned to. Each death served exactly the purpose it had to."
Vilnolin says "death is a part of life, and eq doesn't seem to be a fairy tale"
Vosse thought that was one of the best things about EQ. That Characters get
born, evolve and die as well.
Ranna says "I cried over everyone, even the trolls"
Sandstorm envies people with the ability to cry over things like this. =0
marissa says "No he didn't betray.."
Vilnolin says "that's waht makes it so good"
Frixx says "luckily I read about One-eye in the RPG beforehand"
FireHunter knew lord voll was coming, Ties up the chief of the wolfriders,,thats
what you get;)
Ranna says "But I was glad you wrote it like that"
Dix nodnods, thanks.
marissa says "Yes.."
Zarah says "I cried for Cutter missing his family, and when he found Leetah, and
so many other things."
marissa says "The deaths made us grow, too. Not only the Elfs"
marissa says "Elves..."
Vilnolinnods
Rannanods too
ELFQUEST says "Your reactions are exactly the reactions we could hope for. You
prove that good storytelling breeds great readers. :)"
Tasmonia says "I know it's corny, but there are teardrop stains on so many of my
EQs"
FireHunter says "Question, why did you decide not to have the palace go "back"
into time since rayek could bring it forward?"
Tavie says "We are rather fabulous."
FireHunter says "and it had obviously thrown itself backwards anyways:)"
Ranna says "I second the question"
Zarah hugs Wendy and Richard
ELFQUEST says "Tas, Wendy says 'and on so many of the pages that she drew!'"
FireHunter has his theories though:)
Zarah says "I love you people."
Ranna says "I mean, besides making the plot work better"
marissa hugs W and R too
Vilnolinsits and waits for her question to be answered while seconding
Firehunter's
ELFQUEST says "Firehunter, Rayek wasn't about to let the Palace go back to
where/when Cutter was."
Tasmonia says "I'm getting choked up again--you guys are so amazing!"
Tavie smells a group hug coming, starts edging towards the door.
Ranna laughs
marissa says "GROUPHUG!!!"
Guest2 has left.
Vilnolin dodges and clibs into a tree
marissa says "oww..."
Zarah laughs
FireHunter figured that or his emotional expiration from taking the palace so
far forward was too gone to fix it all and he knew it woudl take years to get
that power and urge back.
Tavie says "See? You're scaring the guests off."
Frixx feels squeezed
ELFQUEST says "Welcome to www.touchyfeely.com!!!"
Ayerth says "Besides, it would cause _so_ many headaches with the canon of the
tales. ;P"
Guest2 has arrived.
Guest2 has left.
FireHunter says "after all his powers did leave him"
marissa laughs out loud.
Tasmonia says "Elfquest, will we see more art from the two new artists, Sonny
and Carol Lyon?"
Traest shudders at the thought of temproral paradoxes in EQ.
Tasmonia says "is that her name?"
ELFQUEST says "But at that time, no one else could pilot the Palace."
Ranna love Carol Lyon dearly
Tavie says "Tempural paradoxes would be bad, too. All that deep-fried
confusion..."
ELFQUEST says "Tas, you betchum, Red Ryder!"
ELFQUEST says "Wok, don't run, to the nearest exit, Tavie..."
tolan has connected.
Ranna says "Yeah, what do you think this is, Star Trek?"
Tasmonia says "Yay! As a student of Plant Bio, I'm particularly fond of Carol's
work"
Tavie says "Ouch!"
Ayerth says "I think the saddest EQ story I read was the one in, I think,
Mythadventures. The one with all the elves surrounding the palace, circling it
to recognize."
Rikkert says "My personal feeling is that death is never pointless in elfquest
unless its point IS to be pointless (to show that part of life). That's oe of
the things that makes it good"
marissa says "Hi Tolan"
Moonwalker has connected.
marissa says "Hi Moonwalker"
ELFQUEST says "Tas, Carol's education is in scientific art."
Ranna says ""yeah, I loved that one"
Vilnolin says "elfquesters, do you read fan fiction? or look as fan art?"
Ayerth groans. "Let the puns commence."
Frixx says "but not canon Ayerth"
ELFQUEST says "Ayerth, huh?"
Tavie pokes Ayerth in the side.
Moonwalker says "Greetings, all!"
marissa says "Wendy, how do you feel about fanfiction?"
Tasmonia says "I really liked reading what she and Sonny had to say in the
Summer Special"
dragonsfire has disconnected.
Tasmonia says "I love interviews"
marissa says "Anne Rice forbids fanfiction"
Zarah says "I read RPGs and look at EQ eyecandy."
hamilasdaje says "i think the sadest story was the war in sorrows end"
Guest2 has left.
Ayerth says "Sorry, just babbling."
Ranna says "I mostly read fanfic of characters in the rpgs I play"
ELFQUEST says "Marissa, we appreciate that fans put the energy into it, but we
don't read it for legal reasons."
Sandstorm says "No you weren't!"
Dix wondered if there was an answer to "Will there be more art forthcoming from
Sonny and/or Carol?"
Coldmist says "Anne Rice does? I just know Anne McCaffrey is very ... well,
don't want to speak that out *goes to wash her mouth*"
dragonsfire has connected.
Tasmonia says "the answer was Yes, Dix"
Dix nods, thanks.
ELFQUEST says "Dix, yes, I said 'you betchum'"
marissa says "She made them close down the parts on fanfiction about the vampire
chronicles"
ELFQUEST says "Which means defintely yes."
Dix notes McCaffrey is much more permissive than her lawyers would like her to
be. I will now officially let go of that tangent. :)
Vilnolin says "elfquesters, would you all accept a fan book?"
Tavie says "Accept, yes. Like, depends."
Kaer has arrived.
Zarah sighs and waves goodbye
Vilnolin says "like, from all of us?"
Zarah says "I gotsa go earn play money now, nice talking to you all."
Kaer waves to Zarah.
marissa says "bye."
Leila says "How could the Pinis edit it if they couldn't read it? *giggle*"
ELFQUEST says "Vilnolin, are you asking us here that question?"
Ranna says "worldpool practically felt like one, and I loved worldpool"
Vilnolinchuckles at tavie
Zarah copies the conversation.. takes a while
marissa says "Is there more from worldpool coming?"
Vilnolinnods... unsure "yeah
marissa says "How do you copie this conversation?"
Nienke says "I gtg, see yah al with the next chat ;)"
BerryWhisper has connected.
Tavie says "That's right, laugh. Laugh. Go ahead."
ELFQUEST says "Marissa, it's a good concept and we'd like to expand on it."
Sandstorm believes that the inventors of the story should have the right to say
yea or nay to the use of their creation. Not asking permission is theft...
something she is DILIGENTLY trying to POUND into some rather hard heads of her
students...Plagerism <sp>...
Nienke has disconnected.

Vilnolin says "i agree. i mean, fan fiction is good (i even write it) but, some
of the things done in it are so questionable, you wonder if your offending the
author (s)]"
FireHunter says "not that this is worth loosing your house though:)"
Ranna grins
Rikkert says "QUESTION: The stories in the BoTC-anthologies... Did you guide the
author to the contence of the story (i.e. "The story should be about..." or did
you just let them work out their own storyidea and then say "It's (not)
possible"?"
marissa says "Some have to sleep..."
ELFQUEST says "With regard to fan fiction and art, we're of the mind that it's
all right as long as those who do it play by the copyright and trademark rules.
If ever it got out of hand, we would be forced - as others have been forced - to
restrain it."
Thitida-No-Chey says "How would it get outta hand?"
Tavie says "I have to go too. I've gotten absolutely nothing done today. The
pull of the internet is too powerful."
marissa says "What are the copyright things for that? Name the creators and make
no profit from it?"
Tavie says "Have fun, all."
ELFQUEST says "Rikkert, some authors wanted to adapt the prose stories, some
others wanted to do their own original stories."
Ranna says "bye Tavie, nice to meet you"
Neko waves and heads off to hunt a longtooth.
marissa says "bye Tavie"
Kaer waves to Tavie
Vilnolin nods. "it's cause people SHOULD give credit where its due."
Tavie says "You too!"
Frixx says "so right Vilnolin"
Vilnolin says "bye tavie"
Zarah waves bye to all
marissa says "Definately"
Tavie has disconnected.
Zarah has disconnected.
FireHunter says "it's out of hand if someone publishes plots to books and such
so no one needs to read them or the art is totally on the net so no one needs
the books for that either:)"
SparkDance has connected.
Neko goes home.
Neko has left.
SparkDance has left.
SparkDance has arrived.
marissa says "er..."
BerryWhisper says "Hello everybody."
ELFQUEST says "Copyright questions can get huge and complicated very quickly.
Richard will put some words on elfquest.com soon. It's not at all as simple as
the answers coming here."
SparkDance says "hi"
Tasmonia says "Any chance of more Wendy Words and Matter of OPINIon?"
marissa says "Hiya all."
Vilnolin says "oh! my mom says she loves your work, warp, and she hopes you all
keep writing. and she wants to know when the movie is coming out *grins* she's
been doing that with harry potter so dno't mind her"
Moonwalker says "I'm of the mind, if it's not from the creator, or directly
approved by the creator, I hold no interest."
ELFQUEST says "Tas, yes and yes. We've both been swamped but have both really
wanted to say some things, so yes and yes."
marissa says "Moonwalker, I don't agree with that.."
Ayerth says "QUestion: Do you have any appearances planed for this year, at
all?"
Rikkert says "Well, at least they said who the next Dumbledore is gonna be"
marissa says "People all over the world can have good ideas and make a twist or
turn in a plot that one might like."
Moonwalker says "...and that's ok, marissa."
Ranna says "who?"
Leila tends to agree with Moonwalker but people like all different things.
marissa says "Ok, Moonwalker."
ELFQUEST says "Ayerth, the one we're certain of is that we'll be guests at the
San Diego con mid-July. Other than that, we're still planning."
Rikkert says "the guy that starred in the great bbc-series "The Singing
Detective" Give me a sec and i'll look up his name"
Vilnolin says "Question, any conventions near NY/NJ?"
Vosse is going to get some sleep. Elfquest: thanks for your time. Will you come
to Holland one day?
marissa says "I think fanfiction is made out of your heart and mind for
yourself, how you like to see things and it might be nice to share it with
others."
BerryWhisper says "Stop in Denver PLEASE :)"
FireHunter wavers to vosse!
Frixx says "is San Diego the main EQ event of the year?"
Vosse whoohoos and hugs FireHunter
Kaer ahems, "Just to let you all know, the Cat Elves will be staging a longtooth
hunt in a little while. I'll let you all know when we reach the room designated
watchable by the wizard staff... there is a catelf object in the scroll room.
Hope some of you come to watch."
FireHunter blushes:)
SparkDance says "you should come to DC :)"
ELFQUEST says "When we know where we'll be, we'll post the news. Keep checking
elfquest.com and subsribe to the e-newsletter!"
Coldmist hugs Vosse too :)
Tasmonia says "I vote for a World Tour (that stops in Minneapolis!)"
Kaer steps out.
Kaer has left.
Malandor says "Elfquest, question, have you ever been asked to visit anime
conventions? Or do you visit them on your own accord? I know Otakon in
Baltimore's pretty big, there's one in Cali too."
Vosse hugs Coldmist as well and feels loved. :)
ELFQUEST says "Frixx, seems that way to us."
Ayerth says "come to A-kon. I can get you invited. =)"
marissa says "Aww... vosse and coldmist..."
Vosse hugs Marissa as well
Vilnolin says "ok, now my parents are yelling at me to have dinner. thank you
all for talking, and thank you, WARP, for talking to us, and for the advice."
ELFQUEST says "Malandor, we've not yet been asked to attend, but we'd enjoy it."
marissa says "Thanks ... I was lonely for attention..."
Coldmist smiles at Marissa
Vosse grins "hehe, I noticed... ;)"
Rikkert says "Dumbledore will be played by SIR MICHAEL GAMBON. And he was great
in The Singing Detective, Not something for all, but a very good story. (1991 i
think)"
FireHunter says "night Vil!"
FireHunter says "remember have FUN! all"
marissa says "g'night"
Thitida-No-Cheydumps a smelly tuna fish in marissa's lap!
marissa says "ehhhh?????"
hamilasdaje says "night"
Vilnolin says "night"
Vosse poofs off to her bed. "Sleep well all!!"
Thitida-No-Chey says "there's attention for ya! :D"
Vosse goes home.
Vosse has left.
marissa curses silently.
Thitida-No-Chey says "heh heh heh"
marissa says "You mean hightthing!!"
Sandstorm hehes and slides out the door to go on an IC hunt! "Nice talking to
you!"
Clawthorn has arrived.
Sandstorm has left.
Thitida-No-Chey says "HEY! I'm no hightting! I'm just a mean looking drow thing!
*G*"
Ranna says "Well I have to go, Thank you Pinis, for everything. Thank you
mushers, for hosting this, I'll be back sometime, this is cool. Thanks rikkert.
I'd like to talk to all of you more, e-mail me "Ranna__@hotmail.com" (double
underscore) Bye!"
Ayerth dittoes. "off to the jungles.
Guest1 has disconnected.
marissa says "bye Ranna"
FireHunter says "come back anytime:)"
Vilnolin says "ok, i'm stuck here"
Tasmonia says "Question to Elfquest: what question would you like to answer? Or
rather, what do you think is important in the world of EQ right now that people
should know?"
Ayerth has left.
Ranna has disconnected.
Dix laughs. I ask them that all the time.
Thitida-No-Chey says "GOOD question! :)"
marissa joins Tasmonia i
Vilnolin has disconnected.
Rahna likes that question, Tas. :)
Guest1 has left.
Guest2 has left.
marissa says "eh?"
Guest1 has arrived.
ELFQUEST says "Tas, we'd like to know more of your opinions, feelings about
which characters you'd like to see more of."
Thitida-No-Chey says "Marissa : more tuna? :"
SparkDance says "i like that question too:)"
marissa says "NOOOHONONNNNONON!"
Tasmonia says "Really!!!?? Whoo hoo!"
Malandor grins. "Do I need to mention Aroree again?"
Rahna votes for NIGHTFALL! ;)
tolan says "Ooh! I'll vote on that one: Sunstream! :)"
Thitida-No-CheyWANTS TO SEE MORE RAYEK... ehem... Nuff said!
Dix JINK. Not that I like her so much, but her whole storyworld sort of slipped
away there. More of that. Sunstream, too.
marissa says "Redlance."
marissa says "I love Redlance... really"
Tasmonia says "I would really like to see more about TWo-Edge. I think he is one
of the most fascinating and complex characters in EQ"
Thitida-No-Chey says "Marissa : Uhm...Salmon then? *G*"
Frixx says "lots of futurequest"
marissa says "Twoedge really is."
BerryWhisper has disconnected.
marissa says "No fish whatsoever?!!]"
Thitida-No-Chey says "*sighs* Okay...."
BerryWhisper has connected.
Tasmonia says "And less Scouter (hehehheh)"
marissa gives a victorial grin.
Frixx says "Scout is not so bad"
Thitida-No-Cheydrops halfdead cow in marissa's lap
dragonsfire says "Tier and seconds the less scouter"
tolan snickers
ELFQUEST says "There is a storyline being worked on right now, no planned date
of release, but still a lot of stuff already written, working title "the Quest
for Kahvi" that involves Two-Edge, Aroree and Venka a whole lot."
marissa picks up the cow and slaps it into thitida's face!
BerryWhisper says "I want more SunTop"
Tasmonia says "I had suspected as much...."
Malandor lights up. "Aroree!" :)
Dix ! Woo hoo.
marissa says "Shuff up!"
tolan agrees with BerryWhisper ^_^
Frixx says "thats great! Time to meet the ol tinkerer again..."
Thitida-No-Chey says "Venka....? oooooh! Almost as good as Rayek!"
Moonwalker says "When was the "Return to Xanth" published?"
dragonsfire says "ooo was wondering what had happen to them"
Tasmonia says "May I ask who the artist(s) is/are?"
marissa says "I want to see more of Rayek"
tolan says "no pressure though of course ... ;)"
ELFQUEST says "Moonwalker, 1991 or so."
marissa says "And more Teir!!"
Clawthorn says "I am a bit worried about Cutter ... A change I have noticed --
which probably was not intended -- is, that the main characters were pushed too
far into boxes, and became at one point super-heroes/-ines, and super-evil ... I
am missing the multi-fascetion about how the characters were at the beginning,
and I am afraid that Cutter will never die. Sorry, that sounds weird, maybe...."
hamilasdaje says "ember"
FireHunter says "Teir still freaks me out 8)"
FireHunter says "Kinda like Haken,,only younger:)"
Kahvi wheeeheees, "Quest for me!"
Moonwalker says "Whoa. I'm really behind! I thought that was wonderful. Looking
forward to the conclusion."
SparkDance says ":)"
marissa says "But Teir is a fascinating character."
Frixx says "Clawthorn Winny died..."
ELFQUEST says "Clawthorn, take a look at 'In All But Blood' again - lots of
characterization in there, no?"
marissa says "Who is Haken?"
SparkDance says "yep yep..i wonder if she'll recognize him..."
Clawthorn hasn't had the chance to buy it :(
marissa says "In all but blood was beautiful!"
Tasmonia says "Who will do the art for the Two-Edge arc?"
Dix wants to see more of Teir too. I agree with Clawthorn that Cutter is
becoming boxed in as a character, but I think that's intentional. He's been
boxed in by his own mangling of the Way, what he's done to himself to survive.
Goldeye says "Haken was a Firstcomer I believe, or am I wrong?"
dragonsfire says "I'd like to see more Clearbrook too"
Goldeye looks at Richard and Wendy.......
FireHunter says "He was firstcomer:)"
ELFQUEST says "Frixx, no she didn't!"
marissa says "Ohh, wait a min, Haken was that Rayek look alike?"
Frixx says "Haken was in the circle of nine"
ELFQUEST says "Tas, we don't know yet."
Thitida-No-Chey says "... Winnie's a Zombie..."
Rikkert says "QUESTION: Somebody i bought a comic from said they didn't like it
much anymore, because Elfquest had gotten to much war-like in their opinion.
What's your view about that?"
SparkDance says "EQ can you tell us who Ember will recognize?"
ELFQUEST says "Rikkert, our opinion is "huh"?"
marissa says "Marissa joins Goldeye in staring at the Pini's"
ELFQUEST says "There was no battle in any of the 'IABB' tales."
FireHunter says "Marrissa you can pose with ":<pose>""
Tasmonia says "SparkDance, good luck with that question!"
ELFQUEST says "Spark, sure we can. But we con"
Frixx says "the elves are in the middle ages, very war-like time period"
ELFQUEST says "won't"
tolan says "hehe"
SparkDance:)
Dix uh, King's Cross?
FireHunter says "Marrissa you can pose with ":<pose>""
FireHunter says "sorry"
ELFQUEST says "Dix, that was a Worldpool tale."
marissa says "Excuse me, alas time is fading and I need to sleep... Bye Richard,
Bye Wendy, bye you all, You make my world go round. ;)"
Dix knows - I'm trying to figure out what Frixx is talking about.
Frixx says "VERY worldpool..."
Coldmist ran out of coffee, oh no ..
Moonwalker says "It appears break-time (not to be confused with "Dream Time") is
over. I hope to see you all later."
ELFQUEST says "ARRRGH! No coffee?!?!?"
marissa says "Oh, and keep the fish down this seasson."
Thitida-No-Cheyhands Marissa a going-away-salmon
marissa says "Bye..."
FireHunter feeds Misty lots of dreamberries :P
Tasmonia says "Elfquest: do you have any good book recommendations?"
ELFQUEST says "We're at that point too, need a break. We'll be back for the next
session."
marissa has disconnected.
ELFQUEST says "Tas, whatever you like. ;)"
Dix notes Rikkert said something about war-like period and Frixx said
"middle-ages war-like time period" and I was trying to make sense of it.
hamilasdaje says "no cofe? my condolence!"
Coldmist says "whew, time to make new coffee :)"
Moonwalker has disconnected.
FireHunter just soaks his eyes for a while 8)
Guest2 has arrived.
ELFQUEST says "we'll see y'all at the next installment! AYOOOOAH!"
Elfquest has disconnected.

===================================================

Logfile from Two Moons.

Session 4

Elfquest has connected.
Rikkert welcomes Elfquest
tinkrbell says "gee i feel like a slacker - i've only been here for 20 minutes"
SparkDance hits Rikkert with a snowball too!
ELFQUEST says "One... more... time!"
Coldmist says "And there starts the Fourth Session :)"
LegendaryShannon says "Speak of the devil..."
tolan catches it and tosses it back!! =)
Traest woots.
SparkDance says "AAYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOAHHH!!"
Fairlight says "Hello again. Getting tired yet?"
Nightsea says "Shade and Sweet Water, Elfquest"
Flashfire says "Uno mas."
tolan says "Happy Happy Joy Joy Happy Happy Joy Joy!"
ELFQUEST says "Who all's new here this time?"
IceFire has connected.
Nightsea says "*raises hand*"
Cutter steals back the braincell since Flashfire is used to opperating without
it and throws back his head letting out a joyous,
"Ayooooooooooooooooooooooooooooah!!"
Flashfire says "How're you two doing now, after all of this?"
Flashfire joins in with Cutter ;)
Rikkert says "See Sparkdance. I was just saying hi to the Pini's when that
snowball hit. You could have hit them and scare them away"
Kephissa rolls her eyes at Cutter and Flashfire.
ELFQUEST says "Flashfire, we're both tired and elated."
Flashfire can imagine.
FireHunter lets you steal his strenght!:)
ELFQUEST says "Traest, but are you gonna break our record any time soon? ;)"
SparkDance says "i'm sure the Pini's dont mind you're covered in snow!"
Nightsea says ""Happy 25th Anniversary!""
tolan breaks out the Jolt Cola :)
Traest laughs. "I dunno - 76 held for a very long time. :)"
ELFQUEST says "(in best Homer voice) Oooooo, Jolt Cola..."
Flashfire says "We didn't hit the 81 today, did we?"
Traest says "We did."
tolan says "Nice!"
Traest says "During session 1"
Cutter just sips his Sun Drop and grins.
Flashfire says "Y'know, I'm not even sure anyone posted about this in the
ElfQuest community on LiveJournal. D'oh."
SparkDance says "Sweet!"
Rikkert says "Yes, the 81 was during tyhe 3rd chat i believe"
Kephissa says "Cool. I was kinda bummed that I could be on until I got off
work."
Goldeye has arrived.
tinkrbell is new - well new to the chat thing anyhow - but i made it
Goldeye has left.
Goldeye has arrived.
ELFQUEST says "Don't worry - there are going to be some major news bits on
Monday or Tuesday, and many of you were here while we were scrambling to make
them happen."
Cutter watches the bouncing Goldeye.
Goldeye says "Evening all"
ElfEmberis also new to the chat and to mush
Nightsea says "I've never been to this MUSH before either."
Flashfire wasn't expecting to be able to make these today but took a half-day at
work for something else that turns out to be next weekend, so it's all good.
ElfEmber says "but I'm still excited to be here!"
Goldeye says "lol"
SparkDance says "I am soo happy to be here!! yay"
FireHunter says "Well everyone that signs on is free to look around after all of
this ,,,I think?"
Flashfire woots at WaRP and the news bits to come.
Traest nods. "Yes you are, FireHunter."
LegendaryShannonsuddenly feels like she missed something while she was working
Cutter nods, "Of course they are."
ELFQUEST says "Well, there's always new folks for whom this is a first time,
so... let's do this!"
Fairlight says "Q: What do you think about Elfquest's proliferation on the
internet: Mailing lists, web forums, appreciation societies, holts, yahoo
groups, communities galore on MSN and other networks- far too much for anyone to
keep track of!"
ELFQUEST says "Fairlight, it's far too much for anyone to keep track of!"
Traest says "The format here is simple everyone - pure chaos. :) If you have a
question, just spit it out. :)"
SparkDance says "We all heard what Wendy's fav elf was so now we ask
Richard...whtas your fav elf?"
Bramble has arrived.
LegendaryShannon says "Wendy/Richard, wish you could see this gorgeous sunset.
:-)"
Fairlight says "As a part of your job is to keep track of it, that must be a
pain in the coccyx!"
Flashfire heh hehs, and could answer that one ;)
Nightsea says "which was Wendy's?"
Coldmist says "and still it feels like if we are an Underground community ...
there seem to be so utterly many people, but they all hide away ..."
ElfEmber says "I must have missed Wendy's fav elf, could she repeat that?"
tolan says "Oooh, Chaos format is Goood :)"
Goldeye says "question: Did you or someone working with you two ever catch the
jerk who was sending those infected files under Elfquest's email almost a year
ago?"
ELFQUEST says "Spark, as we said earlier, it's not a case of favorites. Skywise
is my avatar, so to speak, just as Cutter is Wendy's. But they're all
favorites."
FireHunter says "the logs will hopefully remedy that whenpeople see what it's
like:)"
FireHunter says "about the underground comunity"
ElfEmber says "that is the same for me I love all the elves, its hard to pick a
favorite"
Kephissa has left.
SparkDance says "yeah they all rock!"
Nightsea says "Q: any new revelations today about things Elfquest? a 25 year
special? some news announcement?"
ELFQUEST says "Goldeye, we never caught anyone - I suspect it was simply someone
who just wasn't using a virus cleaner."
Flashfire's got a more private question to ask at some point, but will save it
for e-mail later on.
Cutter just perches in elfmom's lap and listens for the time being.
Flashfire says "Regarding SDCC."
breetah has connected.
tinkrbell says "Q: Are you planning on doing another signing tour this year?"
ELFQUEST says "Nightsea, oy!!! We did talk about that earlier - short recap,
there will be a 25th anniversary special for the San Diego comic convention this
July, and on Monday or Tuesday we are making some very major announcements on
elfquest.com that will affect EQ for a long time to come!"
LegendaryShannon says "Tinkerbell, they'll be signing at Comiccon in July"
Nightsea says "Fabulous! BTW, thank you both for 25 years of happiness."
Goldeye chuckles at Cutter.
ElfEmber says "Q: Will ElfQuest ever have a signing event on the East Coast? I'm
in Va and it will be a long time until I can make it to San Diego"
tinkrbell says "Right, but I am talking about something that they did a number
of years ago where it was a tour... visiting different cities and the like"
SparkDance says "shannon..have you made every session so far?"
ELFQUEST says "Tinkrbell, we'd love to, but we are so swamped with what the
major announcement plans are going to be. It all remains to be seen."
LegendaryShannon says "Spark, no I was only here for an hour in the morning."
Rikkert says "QUESTION: Nowadays, doyou work out a whole plot before the artwork
starts, or do you 'make it up as you go along, just following a main story-idea'
Do story-changing ideas (like letting skywise live in the original quest) still
happen?"
Guest1 has left.
ELFQUEST says "Regarding signing events and tour stops and such, it all depends
a lot on what, when and where we get sent."
Windrider has connected.
Goldeye says "I think us East Coasters need to "kidnap" Wendy and Richard for a
summer:)"
ElfEmber says "I will just keep pinching my pennies for San Diego =o)"
tinkrbell says "Try to get sent to Oregon... i know at least one person would be
ecstatic to see you :)"
ElfEmber says "I agree with you Goldeye!"
ELFQUEST says "Rikkert, Wendy says in the new story lines, yes, events sometimes
just happen. In stories that delve into history, we have to be a bit more
structured."
LegendaryShannontries to imagine making up the storyline while drawing the
artwork and has a short-circuit
Fairlight says "Hola windrider!"
Tsumarin has connected.
ELFQUEST says "Oregon is a very nice place. There are a lot of nice places one
or both of us have been to, and would enjoy returning to."
breetah says "Hello all!"
Cutter waves to breetah
ElfEmber says "Hi breetah"
ELFQUEST says "Legend... cute... ;)"
Windrider says "Hello Fairlight!"
Zarah has connected.
Rikkert says "QUESTION: How do you keep track of everything. There's so much!
(Thank the High Ones)"
ELFQUEST says "Rikkert, that's what computers and fannish nit-pickers are for.
:)"
Coldmist grins broadly at that
Nightsea says "have you seen the online "family tree" efforts? and do you have a
cannon one made up yourselves?"
Goldeye chuckles
ELFQUEST says "There have been times when we have to go to the Wolfrider's Guide
or the gatherum!"
Guest2 has arrived.
Guest1 has left.
LegendaryShannonwrites down that gag
ELFQUEST says "Nightsea, we've seen them, and they're very neat! But we do have
on "official" one."
Fairlight says "Ah! Will it ever be published?"
ELFQUEST says "Fairlight, perhaps. Neither of us has ever felt the desire nor
the need to go to great levels of detail for the telling of the stories."
Flashfire says "That's one problem with 25 years of stuff. There's a lot of
history to adhere to if you want to be consistent with What's Gone Before."
ELFQUEST says "In fact, great levels of detail tend to bog fantasies/stories
down, and keep it from flying as we'd like."
Rikkert says "QUESTION: In the new coloured editions, will mistakes be updated?
I.e. drawings where elves have 5 fingers"
Fairlight says "That's an understandable point. I remember how empty I felt
after reading the RPG books through. It took away some of the magic"
LegendaryShannon says "I'm off to dinner and a gala night at the Opera...oh
wait, poker. Well, whatever! Hope the chat goes well!!"
Nightsea says "totally understandable. but fanatics do like details...even not
in story format. :)"
FireHunter says "night Shannon"
Northwind has arrived.
ELFQUEST says "Rikkert, yes, many mistakes will be updated, as well as bits of
dialog. Also, Wendy has made some artistic decisions as well, for aesthetics'
sake."
Coldmist says "bye shannon :)"
Traest thinks TwoMoons MUSH has asked for more details from the Pinis than they
care to think about. :)
ElfEmber says "Q: I know this has probably been asked many times, but will there
be another ElfQuest Calendar with Wendy's art?"
Fairlight says "Showing, not telling. It's like the difference between seeing
the ease with which Cutter can lift his children, and noting that his strength
is "14""
ELFQUEST says "So long, Shannon!"
tolan says "hehe"
LegendaryShannon has disconnected.
breetah says "I'm just happy to get a chance to say to WaRP, Thank you and yet
those two words seem... inadequate! :)"
Northwind breezes into the room (pardon the pun). "Good day, all! Ayoooah!"
ELFQUEST says "Traest, yes, but we're past masters at evasion."
Traest says "We've noticed, grrr. :)"
Cutter snickers.
Flashfire snickers.
tolan grins
SparkDance grins
ELFQUEST says "Breetah, they are perfectly adequate and more!"
ELFQUEST says "ElfEmber, there will almost certainly be more EQ calendars with
Wendy's art."
ElfEmbergrins
Cutter cheers and will have to get that one too.
Flashfire says "Excellent."
tolan dance with joy! :)
SparkDance smiles
Flashfire says "QUESTION: Hmm. Here's a thought. I know we have the 12-month
calendars - has Warp considered a page-a-day calendar format of some kind? Would
it even be feasible?"
ELFQUEST says "We wonder if there's anyone here from over the ocean? It must be
very late there!"
Guest3 has arrived.
Northwind says "By the by, Wendy's new art is stupendous! I love the King and
Queen of Night!"
Coldmist is, but is used to that :)
Cutter oooos at the thought of a page-a-day EQ calandar.
ELFQUEST says "Flashfire, anything's possible - but we think someone else would
have to be involved, to put it together, format it, etc."
Flashfire says "Undoubtedly. Thanks."
FireHunter says "are you kidding I'd never open it!:)"
SparkDance nods " a page a day calender..awesome
Northwind is from Malaysia, South East Asia. it's 10 a.m. here.
Cutter would have to get one to keep sealed and one to look at.
ELFQUEST says "Northwind, so does Wendy (love them) - guess who they are?"
Rikkert waves saying "Me, me! I'm still from the Netherlands, there its 3.15 AM
Fairlight says "Yes, the king and queen pieces are wonderful, but lets not
forget the rest. All of it is great!"
Nightsea says "Q: has Wendy used more than PSP or Adobe with her art?"
Bramble says "Could reuse old art, and we'd still probably snap it up a page a
day calender up."
ELFQUEST says "Northwind, you take the record! :)"
SparkDance says "yep!yep Rikkert you must be tired!"
ELFQUEST says "Rikkert, you're indefatigable!"
Flashfire's a west coaster, himself.
Rikkert says "When i meet my parents this afternoon i just know they are going
to comment i look like i don't sleep enough"
IceFire says "53 North, 6 East -Netherlands here :)"
Bramble says "Hmmm, so can we keep this up to 3:15am Pacific? ;)"
SparkDance is from the east coast
Northwind looks confused. "Record for what?"
ELFQUEST says "Nightsea, she often begins with a watercolor painting, and then
uses PShop to enhance it."
Fairlight wishes he had Rikkert's stamina...
FireHunter could go for 7 am PST:P
Tsumarin says "the new art? maybe bearclaw and joyleaf?"
SparkDance says "dont we all :P"
ELFQUEST says "Bramble, YOU can keep it going as long as you want - we'll be
dead. :)"
Northwind says "King of Night looks a little like Tyldak..."
Cutter will have to go to bed at a halfway decent hour since he has to be up
tomorrow morning too.
ELFQUEST says "No, King and Queen of Night have nothing to do with Elfquest. ;)"
Tsumarin says "ah oops"
Fairlight says "Would it be possible to get a more in-depth breakdown of the
methods that Wendy uses with photoshop? In the "old" days, every brushstroke and
line is there on the page -- now it's all lost when the layers are flattened, so
to speak..."
Rikkert says "Well all the snowballs SparkDance threw kept me up."
Nightsea says "speaking of Tyldak, I have an old image from a scifi mag
cover..."
Kahvi says "Oberon, Titania. The Great Mother, and her 'Son'. Something in that
direction?"
Cutter says "Blue Mermaid looks a lot like Raenafel or Winnowill. But, they're
all gorgeous."
Flashfire says "That was my first thought as well, Cutter."
ELFQUEST says "Kahvi, you got it!"
Nightsea says "it looks like Tyldak in front of the glass window Savah sits
near"
Bramble says "I was just going to say that, Cutter!"
Kahvi smiles, "The symbolism speaks for itself"
ElfEmber says "I saw that too Cutter, she's beautiful"
Tsumarin says "nice guess kahvi :)"
Nightsea says "does Wendy remember that one?"
Northwind says "Who? Oberon...?"
ELFQUEST says "Wendy says at some point she wants to get back into a chat
situation like this and give art tips, and that would be the place for delving
into Photoshop tricks and so on."
tolan watches it all go over his head :)
Fairlight says "OK. I'd love to hear those!"
Goldeye ooooers.........."I am so there!"
Coldmist says "Oh yes! That's a beautiful idea!"
tolan says "that would be *very* cool"
Traest says "We can arrange something like that on here if you want, EQ."
Tsumarin says "that would be wonderful! id die at the thought of personal tips
from the great artist herself hehe"
ELFQUEST says "Nightsea, that image is of a Poul Anderson character called
Aycharaych - and Tyldak was inspired by him."
ELFQUEST says "Traest, thanks - we'll discuss it at the appropriate time!"
Rikkert says "Have you ever seen the work of the spanish 'comic book' writer
Vicente Segrellis? He used tu make Oil-drawings, but now also uses the computer
on a lot of it. His drawings are really beatyfull"
Cutter would love some tips from Wendy, himself.
Guest3 has disconnected.
Northwind says "Just wondering - anyone else from the eastern hemisphere?
Australia perhaps?"
Nightsea says "yes I have the whole magazine. it's cool to know Tyldak's
inspiration! thanks"
Guest3 has left.
ELFQUEST says "Wendy did about a dozen and a half covers and/or illustrations
for those earlier science-fiction magazines."
Nightsea says "any chance more of that art could be "reprinted" online at
eq.com?"
ELFQUEST says "We should put those up on elfquest.com."
Nightsea says "GMTA!"
ELFQUEST says "GMTA!"
SparkDance says "neat :)"
Rikkert says "Question: which magazines?"
Coldmist blinks
Fairlight says "The one thing that's always been missing from EQ.com: The covers
from the Warp-published original quest!!!""
Rikkert says "IceFire: ain't it just beatifull?"
ELFQUEST says "These were "Galaxy" and "Worlds of If" from the early-1970s."
Neko has arrived.
SparkDance says "night y'all!"
ELFQUEST says "That oversight can be corrected - actually you can see the back
covers in the online art shop!"
SparkDance has disconnected.
Cutter waves to SparkDance!
Cutter says "Darn, missed."
Northwind has reconnected.
IceFire says "yeah Rikkert"
Northwind says "Eep! just when I asked a question..."
ELFQUEST says "What question?"
Cutter says "Northwind asked if there was anybody else from the eastern
hemisphere."
Northwind says "I asked if there was anyone else from the Eastern Hemisphere
present.."
Jadelion has connected.
Northwind smiles. "Thanks, Cutter."
Cutter says "Hello Jadelion."
Jadelion says "Hello"
Northwind waves at jjadelion
Nightsea says "I'm in upstate NY...above Poughkeepsie even"
ELFQUEST says "Most of NY is above Poughkeepsie!"
Goldeye says "or West of it.""
Coldmist grins
Peacepine has connected.
Northwind grins.
IceFire says "above or North? :)"
Coldmist says "Peacepine! welcome!"
ElfEmber says "How long has everyone been reading ElfQuest? It has been six
years for me, but feels like a lifetime!"
Cutter grins and waves to Peacepine.
Nightsea says "in more ways than one j/k"
Peacepine says "Wow, I figured it out!"
Cutter has been reading it for the better part of 20 years.
Tsumarin says "about half my life here, im 21 now.."
Traest's been reading if for 8 years.
FireHunter says "since the Graphics novels first came out!:)"
tolan's been reading for 15 years
breetah says "I've been reading for 20 years"
Nightsea says "welcome Peacepine...maker of a lovely WEQ website"
Goldeye has been reading EQ for about 20 years, almost 21
ELFQUEST says "Just to jog the collective collection here, while you've got us
both online, any new and provocative questions?"
Peacepine says "I've been reading since I was eleven, so... let's see... a long
time. :)"
Fairlight says "Since 88. My father and I had hunted through every store in two
cities looking for a book. We never found it, but in the very last store we
looked in, I saw Elfquest, and was immediately hooked. I was 10."
Rikkert says "Question: Have you ever heard of the artists Schuiten/Peeters.
They have this series that is also translated in English I Think it's called The
dark cities. I got to know it because i bought a magazine with an Elfquest
Intervieuw, and it had 16 pages on this person Francois Schuiten. I saw it and
it mesmarised me"
Peacepine says "Aww, thanks Nightsea!"
Cutter had to buy a subscription from Marvel to get their printings of the comic
because there weren't any comic shops in his home town and none close enough for
him to bribe his parents into taking him to once a month.
ELFQUEST says "Rikkert, alas, no, we haven't heard of that series."
Nightsea says "Wendy hinted that the fashion industry was an influence on her
art...that still true? and what other new vibes?"
Goldeye thinks on EQ's question
Tsumarin says "i got mine in a used book store, all second hand"
Bramble says "Must be close to fifteen years since a guy who wanted to go out
with me lent me books 1-4. We never did date, but I got hooked on EQ for life."
Northwind says "For the past two months. *grin* But I first encountered them
about 10 years ago when I inherited a couple of editions from my cousin."
Traest says "Elfquest: (relayed from another person) Is there any possibility of
doing a 'collector's set' of the GNs? Like all the full-color GNs, signed, etc?"
ELFQUEST says "Nightsea, Wendy pays a lot of attention to what people are doing
and wearing on the streets, she does a lot of schmoozing with people, asking
questions."
Goldeye says "Question regarding the toys, I think I asked this
earlier........Is series 2 out yet and are there going to be anymore series?"
Rikkert says "QUESTION: Do you welcome emails with information about other
artist, and links to their websites and stuff?"
ELFQUEST says "Traest, when the new graphic novels come out, that would be a
spiffy idea. And we like to implement spiffy ideas."
ELFQUEST says "Goldeye, Series 1 is sold out, and Series 2 is in limbo at the
moment. We're hopeful that some new partners will get it out of limbo for us."
tinkrbell says "well I have done my obligatory question -- have fun everyone!
Congrats on 25 years!"
Cutter says "QUESTION: Will Wendy's new art be available through eq.com or am I
going to have to dig for a place to buy it since it doesn't seem that there is a
store near me that carries their merchandise?"
Nightsea says "be well, tinkrbell"
ELFQUEST says "Rikkert, we do like to see what other artists are doing, so we
will look at other sites."
Fairlight says "Is there any possibility of a giant elfquest 'brick' containing,
say, the first whole quest in one book, then Siege and Wheel in the next?" I
love these things"
Goldeye whews and is glad to be able to own Series 1.........
Peacepine says "Question: When will we see the rest of the story about Mender
and the humans in Wild Hunt? Or is it out somewhere and I missed it?"
tinkrbell needs to figure out how to disconnect *grin*
Cutter waves to tinkrbell
Flashfire says "Just type 'QUIT' ;)"
Cutter says "Type QUIT"
tinkrbell says "thanks :)"
tolan grins and tries to think of a provocative question "Ah! :QUESTION: Can you
confirm or deny the one time existance of a Bloodsong project, and are you
willing to comment on the current status of this alleged project? Inquireing
minds want to know. O.o :)
ELFQUEST says "Cutter, we will carry Wendy's new prints, but we also hope that
fan requests will inspire stores in your area(s) to get them as well."
Goldeye lol's
Barb says "QUESTION: I would like to know if "the Line of Beauty" that Sonny
Strait mentioned Wendy looks for (okay, demands) is literal, metaphoric, both or
something else?"
Fairlight says "Tolan, we've been there ;)"
ELFQUEST says "Fairlight, all things are possible."
ELFQUEST says "Peacepine, that story is still being finished - as soon as we
have it all, you"
tolan says "hehe, figures"
Fairlight says "OK. Is it *likely* then..."
Fairlight says ":)"
Northwind wants to know about the continuing story of -Rayek-. Will there be
more on him? Will his wyrd ever be resolved?
Peacepine says "I look forward to it. Interesting story line."
ELFQUEST says "Tolan, the project did exist, but upon reflection we realized it
might hurt the chances for a movie, so it's been shelved - for now."
Nightsea says "any more movie poster art going to be made by Wendy?"
breetah says "Q: Do you know what the distribution will be like for the movie?
Limited? Wide?"
ELFQUEST says "Barb, Wendy says: the line of beauty is literal - there is an
accent that one can put into one's drawings that evokes sensuality and beauty."
Rikkert says "QUESTION: At one point in time you made slibcases for the Father
Tree Press Hardcover Graphic novels. Will you ever make these for the later
publications or for the comics (to give my stack of comics the look they
deserve)"
Fairlight says "Is the squeamishness that some have for erotica a frustration
then, given that it seems to have led to projects being shelved?"
tinkrbell has disconnected.
Peacepine says "Good question, Barb!"
ELFQUEST says "Northwind, definitely!"
Barb says "Does that have to do with line dynamics, then? Am I being too geeky?"
Northwind says "Oh good. *pause* When? *grins cheekily*"
ELFQUEST says "Rikkert, we probably won't make them, but we can ask others to."
ELFQUEST says "Fairlight, Wendy says it's more than 'some', it's many and that's
too bad."
Coldmist says "I was unable to listen to the Interview earlier that day with
Corbie Mitleid ... Has this second part been a bit more in depth with the
metaphysics you have been 'hinting' about in the first one?"
ELFQUEST says "Barb, yes, it does."
Northwind says "Who... 50 people logged into Two Moons! And that's only at this
moment. This is a howl to remember! Ayoooah! EQ @ 25!"
tolan awwws
ELFQUEST says "Coldmist, the second interview followed from the first, and dealt
with "Stories as Mentors"."
Coldmist hmmms and nods
Tsumarin says "unfortunely i missed the interview today myself, i do hope there
will be a transcript, or downloadable for it.."
Peacepine says "Wendy, my sister was surprised to see a unicorn in one of your
new drawings. (they are beautiful btw). She said she once read that you said
that if you saw another unicorn you would spontaneously self-combust or
something. Is it true you felt that way at one time and if so, do you feel
differently now? :)"
ELFQUEST says "I think part of an answer got deleted - it had to do with Wendy's
new art prints - you'll find them on elfquest.com soon."
Fairlight says "Joseph Campbell is often mentioned as an influence. Are there
any other mythographers and legend-masters that you can guide us to, or which
perhaps have had an influence on yourselves?"
FireHunter says "In the text novels of BoTC it seems that EQ is less
errotic/willing to be open about relationships but in the alter books it's to me
more open, is this an intentional effort or just a misinterpretation on my part
or from my reading the text world to Graphical?:)"
Flashfire thinks she's managed not to self-combust, thankfully ;)
alter=later
Nightsea says "any more cards in the EQ Tarot deck available?"
ELFQUEST says "Peacepine, Wendy says all creatures of mythology have their
place, and a unicorn was appropriate in this print... but never in EQ!"
Bramble says "Will the EQ tarot deck ever be available?"
Northwind says "EQ: Richard, this one's for you - I've got UNICORN ISLE 1 - 5,
but can't seem to find 6 - 12. Were they ever produced?"
ELFQUEST says "Fairlight, read the Ramayana, any version."
Tasmonia has connected.
Fairlight says "Will do. Thanks!"
Windrider says "Good stuff, the Ramayana."
Cutter would like to know about the tarot deck as well.
ELFQUEST says "Firehunter, it's very likely simply the fact that in comics, you
have the added stimulus of the artwork."
Peacepine says "*laughs* I'll tell my sister. :)"
Fairlight says "Is that Hindu? I saw a 40-part tv serialisation of the
Maharabharata once"
ELFQUEST says "The Tarot deck is on hold in favor of new stories, etc."
Peacepine says "I've had that same problem with Unicorn Isle! I've always
wondered...."
ELFQUEST says "Northwind, alas, no they weren't."
Nightsea says "awww I had made my own version of the EQ major arcana years and
years ago (before Wendy showed hers online)"
Peacepine says ""awww, that was a really nice story. :("
ELFQUEST says "Just some of the ups and downs of comics publishing..."
Northwind has partially disconnected.
Nightsea says "EQ and Tarot are both passions of mine and combining them just
seemed fun"
Tsumarin says "My apologies, because I think this question was asked, but is it
known how far the distribution for the EQ movie is planned to be?"
Rikkert says "QUESTION: Have you got any idea how many readers you have
worldwide?"
Bramble says "Q: Speaking of the ups and downs of comics publising. Will I ever
get the guest shot in a comic I won in the EQ-L Raffle in 2000?"
Flashfire says "Boy, would going to the premiere of that be something."
Flashfire grins at Bramble. Good memory.
ELFQUEST says "Tsumarin, as the movie is still very early in development,
questions like that just can't be answered, it would be sheer speculation."
Tsumarin says "okay, thankyou :)"
Kahvi says "Is the Tarot deck going to be the full Arcana of 78? Or just the
major Arcana of 22?"
ElfEmber says "I'm not sure if this is off topic, but are there any stories
available with Suntop as an adult? If not, will there be any published?"
ELFQUEST says "Bramble, we want to make good on our promise/prize - our
publishing agenda has changed dramatically so send us an email to remind us to
push for this."
Nightsea says "perhaps the Tarot art could go in a calendar while we wait for
the full deck?"
BerryWhisper has connected.
Flashfire says "That's such a wicked prize, though. :)"
ELFQUEST says "Rikkert, you know, we've never been able to gauge that. It seems
many readers are the quiet sort, who never let us know they are there!"
tolan nods :)
Cutter grins, "That would be very cool to see the tarot artwork in a calendar."
ELFQUEST says "Kahvi, it will be the complete deck of 78."
Bramble says "Okay, I will. I knew the publishing plan had shifted since then.
(And you stoped publishing for a while) And I didn't want to nag."
Fairlight says "Do you find that readers from different places tend to have a
different "take" on EQ altogether?"
ELFQUEST says "Ember, we will follow him through adulthood - he does grow up
some in "in All But Blood"."
Peacepine says "Tarot: *whistles!*"
ELFQUEST says "Fairlight, definitely yes. Some focus on the mythology, some on
the characters totally."
ElfEmber says "yes I loved that!"
Rikkert says "the number of readers is proberbly a number to high to grasp
anyway. Like if you'd wan 5 million dollars, the only 'value' you can call it is
"just a whole load of money""
ELFQUEST says "We'd enjoy having a whole load of readers, then. And a whole load
of money!"
Barb says "You actually find that focus to be largely regional? Can you give an
example?"
Cutter says "QUESTION: Who, exactly, is Brill that Suntop is pictured with in
the Lovemates calendar? You've probably heard that one a million times but, I've
never seen it answered anywhere.""
Coldmist says "I can just say from my experience, that most German readers got
the view on Recognition totaly wrong. Most still think that elves are able to
Recognize someone as their soulbrother or soulsister, not that this is
volunteerily"
ELFQUEST says "Barb, we don't find it to be particularly regional. What we do
find to be regional is the manners in which opinions and such are expressed,
however."
Bramble says "Wasn't Brill one of the Seaelfs?"
Fairlight says "The manners?"
Coldmist says "Brill is one of the 'new' Wavedancers"
Rikkert says "Well, a whole lot of internatoinal sales must do SOMETHING to your
bankaccount"
ELFQUEST says "Cutter, she's one of the WaveDancers."
FireHunter says "you mean involuntary coldmist?"
Windrider says "You have to ask, Fairlight? LOL"
Cutter nods, "I wasn't ever able to get the second Wavedancers series."
ELFQUEST says "Recognition is solely for the purpose of mating and
reproduction."
Fairlight says "Aer you impugning my manners, Windy? :>"
Nightsea says "I've always wondered about Rayek and Winnowill being "half souls"
is that true, possible in EQ or a winnie trick?"
Dawncloud has arrived.
Neko says "Aren't they one soul now?"
Windrider says "If the leather elf boot fits..."
ELFQUEST says "It's WENDY!"
Nightsea says "if they were really one soul, is that why Rayek could "absorb"
her? I enjoy the stories as presented, but still have Q's now and then"
tolan snickers
Fairlight says "Windy as in Windrider, not Wendy.... :>"
Traest chuckles. "Oh, sorry, Wendi. :)"
Windrider says "I think Fairlight was apeaking to me. BTW, this is Carol... HI!"
Dawncloud has left.
ELFQUEST says "Nightsea, they're very much alike, that's all."
Dawncloud has arrived.
Neko says "She is still traped inside him right?"
Nightsea says "Ahhh."
Coldmist says "no, Neko"
Peacepine says "So if Recognition is for mating and reproduction, what is the
purpose of soul siblings? Does that {happen} or do elves choose it?"
ELFQUEST says "Neko, yes, that's right."
Tsumarin says "good question peace"
Guest3 has left.
ELFQUEST says "How do you define "soul siblings"?"
Tasmonia says "Windrider, as in the EQ artist?"
Coldmist says "really? I thought they found a shard of the Palace through the
trolls, and then they 'banned' her inside that shard?"
FireHunter says "Cutter and SKywise"
Nightsea says "Windrider, my name is Carol too. :)"
Windrider says "Yes, I was Wendy's assistant for IABB."
Peacepine says "like cutter and skywise know each others soulnames"
Nightsea says "winnie calls Rayek her's soul's brother."
ELFQUEST says "Cutter and Skywise are not "soul siblings." What they have is
unique, and is so unusual there is no term for it."
Tasmonia says "I loved your work!"
Rikkert says "QUESTION: In the forseeable future, are there any publications
planned in OTHER magazines? I.e. the two stories in th Frank Frazetta Fantasy
Illustrated Magazine?"
Fairlight says "And a damn fine job you did too, Carol"
ELFQUEST says "Nightsea, that is a sort of poetic way of saying they are so much
alike, but it's not literal."
Windrider says "Thanks. I had loads of fun and learned a great deal."
Tasmonia says "I am studying plant biology, and I too am obsessed with having
"correct" foliage in my pics"
ELFQUEST says "HEYO, Carol!"
ELFQUEST says "Rikkert, no such plans."
Nightsea says "sometimes the poetry can get misread then. my bad."
breetah has disconnected.
Windrider says "Ayyyooooah, Richard and Wendy!"
ELFQUEST says "By the way, if you liked the cover to "In All But Blood" - the
painting that Windrider did - it will very soon be available as a signed print
in the elfquest.com online art shop. ;)"
Tsumarin says "ooo"
Rikkert says "To bad by the way a great magazine like FFFI stopped (or went
broke, or whatever the reason was it stopped even though number 9 was announced
if i remember correct"
Leila has arrived.
Fairlight says "Carol seems, to my eye, to be the artist most 'on-model'. But
she also has style of her own, a quite 'Yin' one that nicely balances Sonny's
"Yang" in IABB. Did anyone else notice this?"
Windrider says "Yes. ;)"
ELFQUEST says "Yin and Yang, yes. Each artist was cast for that reason on
his/her particular story."
Nightsea says "perhaps I watch too much anime and thus always think the odd
terms and reasons are the correct ones"
Peacepine says "Definitely! I really like Carol's style."
ELFQUEST says "Nightsea, no problem."
ELFQUEST says "Carol is an exceptional and meticulous artist - it was a pleasure
working with her. And we will work together again."
ElfEmber says "I am soooo sorry but I am a little lost here, what story did
Windrider (Carol) illustrate? Its hard for me to remember all of the artists'
names."
ELFQUEST says "She finished Wendy's pencil layouts on "Full Circle""
Nightsea says "if Wendy does do a chat about the "how tos" of her art and
digital tools, could that please go in the "how to draw EQ" spot on eq.com?"
ElfEmber says "Oh! Thank you!"
ederwink has connected.
Rikkert says "QUESTION: Does Barry Blair still work on Elfquest Stories, or is
he all wrapped up in his own worlds? PS You must have learned to fasttype my
name by now ;-) !!"
ELFQUEST says "Nightsea, certainly, once we have the illustrations and the
logs/text."
Tasmonia says "Elfquest, could there be a chat sometime in the future devoted to
art?"
Peacepine says "Oo, is Windrider Carol, the artist we are talking about? :)"
ELFQUEST says "Rikkert, Barry Blair has not worked on EQ for about 5 years."
Tsumarin says "yes peacepine :)"
Nightsea says "yes, Peacepine"
Windrider says "'Meticulous' is exactly the right word. I wonder sometimes that
Wendy could put up with me. ;)"
ELFQUEST says "Wendy says, well..............."
Leila goes home.
Leila has left.
Flashfire snorts.
Peacepine says "(heh, there's an echo in here) That's very exciting. Carol, I
truly enjoyed your story and all the sketches you included."
ElfEmber says "yes Carol I did too, I'm sorry that I could not pinpoint exactly
which one for a moment!"
Kahvi snuggles with Flashfire
Flashfire woos.
FireHunter thinsk ELfquests answer to the Art was to talk to traest about it not
a yes:)
Rikkert says "Has it been that long?"
Nightsea says "here's a nitpick...how come I sent in $25 to join the worldwide
EQ Fanclub then soon after found out it was dissolved (again)?"
ELFQUEST says "We were hoping Sonny Strait could be here tonight too, but he's
otherwise engaged."
Fairlight says "It's dissolved? When?"
Windrider says "Aww, and Sonny is always such fun."
Guest3 has left.
Nightsea says "I only read about it online...got no "notice" even"
Guest3 has arrived.
Guest3 has left.
ELFQUEST says "Nightsea, your payment got the package of stuff which was what it
was for. The club function has moved to elfquest.com and various boards where
people are much more likely to interact with each other than through a sporadic
magazine that we might publish."
Peacepine says "I enjoyed those "Lodestone" booklets we used to get. :) Sendings
is a great magazine, though - helps fill the void."
ELFQUEST says "Yes, Sendings is a very well-done 'zine."
Nightsea says "not complaining about the stuff or price...just a shame the club
can't manage to keep one incarnation going"
Nightsea says "I joined "for life" for $5 once too. lol"
ELFQUEST says "And you're STILL a member! You just "meet" elsewhere now. ;)"
Fairlight says "The internet makes stuff like right now possible. Isn't this
enough?"
Fairlightlol
Peacepine says "Me, too. :) I lost my green Elfquest pin long ago. That still
tweaks me."
Nightsea says "it's all good! ayoooooah"
Bramble says "I just joined for the goodies anyways. ;)"
ELFQUEST says "That's smart!"
Nightsea says "I joined to support WARP"
Peacepine says "Are there ever comic conventions near Minnesota that you go to?"
Guest3 has arrived.
Guest3 has left.
ederwink says "what goodies are there?"
Tasmonia says "Yeah yeah--come to Minnesota!!!"
Peacepine says "can you still get the goodies?"
ELFQUEST says "Regarding conventions, we're still planning, depending on time
and other resources."
Windrider says "BTW, Fairlight, yes the Ramayana is a Hindu epic. Campbell
quotes it frequently."
Barb says "Hey, I want goodies, too."
BerryWhisper says "I have my pack all together and stuck in with my ElfQuest
books."
Nightsea says "that reminds me...do either or both of you read the posts at the
new Scroll of Colors forum?"
Peacepine says "I still have an unused EQ pencil from long ago. :)"
ELFQUEST says "Wendy adds, regarding personal appearances, which would you
rather have - our smiling faces, or a lot more stories? :)"
Tsumarin says "hehe minnesotans i would think stand more of a chance than new
mexico at any rate :) we have no cons"
Dawncloud says "It's been mentioned that there are pieces of yourselves, as
authors, put into a characters. Have you found that those characters grown in a
type of parallel to you? Or that they've taken the story over and written it for
themselves?"
ELFQUEST says "Nightsea, I skim the messages from time to time, but it takes
time too."
Bramble says "Stories!"
Tasmonia says "Wendy...what a decision to have to make!"
ederwink says "what does the good pack contain berry whisper?"
ELFQUEST says "Dawncloud, it's definitely a case of parallel growth."
Fairlight says "Since you're both in one place, I'll take this time to thank you
both, actually. Thank you, Wendy and Richard, for the many many years of
wonderful, life-giving stories, for the many tales of character and spirit that
have been a guiding light in my life."
Nightsea says "and ppl are against clonning. sheesh."
Flashfire echoes that, Fairlight. Bravo.
Tsumarin says "here here Fairlight"
Tasmonia says "Is it group hug time again?"
Dawncloud cheers
Flashfire says "No..I don't wanna get all sniffly on Kahvi!"
Kahvi ?
DawnStar smiles "Yes Thank you!! I have started another generation of fans for
you. I read the first novel to my children at bedtimes"
Peacepine says "Ayooah, Fairlight! The stories of EQ have affected my life more
than any other stories."
ederwink hugs whoever is near her
Kahvi pokes Flashy
Cutter chuckles and hear hears as well.
Flashfire is still being snuggled ;)
tolan grins
ELFQUEST says "Thank you all for the heartfelt sentiments - we'd love to be
cloned several times over to be able to meet every one."
Fairlight says "Richard, at least, knows I am not one to talk like this often,
so cherish it while it lasts. :>"
BerryWhisper says "Ederwink I remember having a sample LodeStone newsletter, a
picture if Timmian and Skywise, a pin, some temperary tattos. Not sure what
else"
Cutter says "Yeah, my son keeps walking by the computer asking, 'Are you talking
to Wendy and Richard?' in a mildly awed voice."
Nightsea says "I've met you both twice in person...but spent so many more hours
with your work. Thanks for sharring."
ELFQUEST says "Cutter, we hope you are telling him "sure" - and that we say
hello to him too! :)"
ederwink says "hehe and I'm asking myself that"
Rikkert says "Keep in mind that for every Wendy or every Richard, there can also
be another Saddam Hoessein or Osama Bin Laden!"
IceFire says "Richard, how about holographic remote precence like in Erlangen?"
Cutter tugs him over and just shows him the text.
Tsumarin says "how pessimistic rikkert :/"
Rikkert says "So be carefull what you wish for"
FireHunter says "and more EQ !!"
Flashfire says "Well, I'll reiterate an earlier desire, that if and when some
new stories come out, something featuring more of a look at Timmorn is
considered. :) I'd love to see him in his more youthful days (as opposed to
yootful days, as Joe Pesci said in My Cousin Vinny)"
Rikkert winks
Peacepine says "I remember when I was 13 years old and had to save $12 to get
the next EQ book!! And then locking myself in my bedroom to read the whole thing
in one sitting. Aww, those were the days. :)"
Cutter grins, "He just squealed and jumped around."
FireHunter Still can't put them down once he opens one!:)
Flashfire says "Maybe they'll even say hi to him ;)"
IceFire says
"http://home.t-online.de/home/ulrich.schreglmann/comicsalon/ComicSalon3.htm"
Peacepine says "Will we be seeing more of The Rebels or Jink?"
Flashfire bets Timmorn was a terror as a cub ;)
tolan says "Yeah, Futurequest was fun while it lasted :)"
BerryWhisper says "I have the same problem when I get a new ElfQuest. Even if I
just mean to read a little the whole thing is read."
Zarah has disconnected.
Tasmonia says "Richard, have you always had a beard?"
Tsumarin says "it is difficult to savor the EQ stories and make them last hehe"
Nightsea says "that's what rereading is for. ;)"
ELFQUEST says "We would like to see more of Futurequest too - it's a great tale,
and it will interweave with other stories we're working on."
Peacepine says "And I had to Internet (how did I survive) and thought I was just
about the only person in the world who knew about EQ. Little did I know. I was
floored when I saw the following online."
Tsumarin says "which is why my GNs are falling apaprt"
ELFQUEST says "Tas, well, not for the first 3 years of my life..."
Guest2 has disconnected.
Tasmonia laughs
Cutter grins.
Peacepine says "I mean "no" Internet"
Tsumarin emote laughs
Flashfire says "Hit puberty at an early age, eh?"
Bramble has an urge to break out all her books and read everything in one big
push.
ELFQUEST says "Wendy says if I would shave it, I would look all of 14..."
Peacepine says "yes, we need to learn who Jink's father is!!"
Fairlight says "The online following was a great discovery for me. I had never
met nor communicated with another Elfquest fan prior to that in any way...""
Tasmonia says "it must have preserved you well"
Flashfire says "That's why I keep a goatee..even at 25, I'd be too young-looking
without."
ELFQUEST says "And of course we could never do this, if there were no 'online'."
Guest2 has left.
Guest3 has left.
Shadows has arrived.
Guest2 has arrived.
Bramble says "Oh, I so want a new color edition of Kings of the Broken Wheel to
come out, because my Book 7 and 8 are falling apart."
Rikkert says "not pessemistic. Realistic. I would love to have more Wendy's and
Richards. But only if they don't fight over which Wendy gets to draw what story
of cource. I wouldn't want them just fighing and not working ;-)"
Peacepine says "Yes, how far we have come."
Tasmonia says "Whose Con pictures are these?"
Fairlight says "Elfquest seems to have quite a dispersed following - the
internet brings us together."
Flashfire says "Which ones, Tasmonia?"
Fairlight says "in a way of speaking"
ELFQUEST says "Bramble, Wendy has a great ambition to recolor Kings of the
Broken Wheel."
BerryWhisper says "I could NEVER find a color of book 8 got a color of all the
others in decent but not great shape."
Fairlight says "Wendy, IIRC, once said it was her favorite cycle in terms of how
the art turned out."
Dawncloud has disconnected.
Nightsea says "there are so many styles of communications software. this chat is
great. the one on art might wish to consider something more visual?"
Fairlight says "It seems very apt for colorizing"
Tasmonia says "the ones that someone just sent a link to a couple minutes ago"
Shadows says "I have color of 1-9"
Fairlight says "Strong lines"
ELFQUEST says "With the plans afoot that we've been working on all day, that
will be announced next week, you should all have all the color volumes you can
eat!"
Fairlight says "Aha! Tidbits!"
Fairlight says "More!"
Traest oooohs. :)
Peacepine says "Oooo!"
Flashfire will even read them first!
ELFQUEST says "It is better to leave the table hungry, grasshopper."
Fairlight says "Arrrghghgh!"
Fairlight says "Noo! Swine!"
Tsumarin says "hehe"
Cutter wouldn't, couldn't eat them.
BerryWhisper says "Yea!! Want a full color set of all of them."
Northwind says "Question: Will color eds of Dreamtime be available? I'd love to
see Moonshade and Strongbow's dream in color"
tolan thinks that would be a lot of fiber
Flashfire says "That's cruel, leaving the table hungry like that. What'd it ever
do to deserve that?"
Traest has color of 1-9 as well in hardback. Very nice. I'm very protective of
other people reading them. :)
ELFQUEST says "Northwind, we hope so - that will be a different coloring
process."
Bramble wouldn't eat them, but would devour them in one sitting.
Nightsea says "I have a big EQ appetite. :)"
Tsumarin says "I love the dreamtime GN..."
Coldmist says "Ah, there is one question I have been wanting to answered for so
long ... I am not sure if you can recall, but in the Graphic Novels, when Dart's
band travels to the Forbidden Grove Holt, did Wing travel with them?
(unfortunately I can't say which one it is in. I just know it's when the few
handful of humans attack the Holt, and Dart's band comes to help them)"
Northwind says "Oh, and an interpretation of the dream! I didn't quite
understand it... I know part of it was about Crescent.."
IceFire says "the pics are not mine, 5th row from top: There they are...The
holographic matter projectors mounted in the ceiling,enabling Wendy and Richard
to interact with us and sign our books while they're really in a similar
facility at IBM, back home in Poughkeepsie, NY"
FireHunter eeeeeeeeeeesssss gleefully as he comes back and reads and then does
the "Lurch" sounds from the adam's family
BerryWhisper says "Northwind, you asked a question I have been wondering for a
long time. Thanks."
Shadows says "Sorry I'm late, I just wanted to thank Richard and Wendy Pini for
an awesome series to make the imagination run wild :)"
IceFire says "mine are here http://home.wanadoo.nl/ice-fire/cs-thumb.htm"
Fairlight coughs
Northwind says "Coldmist: That's in the Secret of Two Edge, I think."
ELFQUEST says "Are you referring to Strongbow and Moonshade's dream?"
Rikkert says "Just like in the old days.. richard hinting at something in the
letter-pages or editorials (which were great btw) and then waiting to see if it
was a red haring or not!"
ElfEmber has disconnected.
Tasmonia says "That part confused me (Strongbow and Moonshade's dream)"
Fairlight says "There's always been a curve to Richard's balls"
ELFQUEST says "Yes, then I would get ARRGHs through snail mail. Now, it's
instant."
Rayek has arrived.
Nightsea says "ARRGH"
Northwind waves to Rayek. "Heyla, Brownskin!"
Flashfire says "Since we're tossing links around, mine from the 20th Anniversary
are here: http://www.murkworks.net/~wolfy/SanDiego.html"
Cutter waves from Elfmom's lap, "Heya, Black Hair."
ELFQUEST says "Strongbow and Moonshade's dream was probably the most significant
in Dreamtime. Read it over and over, it's there."
Rayek allos all 'round.
Northwind says "Still on Strongbow and Moonshade's dream: the initial page of
the two of them would make an -awesome- print!"
Tasmonia says "Thanks...I'll read it again"
Peacepine says "The dream is beautiful and sad, at least the way I saw it."
Tasmonia says "I think I was busy drooling over Skot"
ElfEmber has connected.
Peacepine says "*lol!!* Tasmonia!"
Northwind says "Cutter, do I sense some smug rivalry there? *blandly*"
Nightsea says "here's an old but tired question...yellowdog graffics used to
have EQ desktop stuff. eq icons are now in the works at the Scroll of colors..."
Tsumarin says "Ive wondered for a long time what tools were used for the making
of Dream Time? simple graphite?"
Nightsea says "any chance there will ever be more official or commercially
available electronic stuff like that?"
ELFQUEST says "Nightsea, they were working on some of those things for Warp, but
it never came to completion."
Cutter grins and winks at Northwind, "What's a story without some good rivals in
it?"
Tasmonia says "Me too! I'm very curious (re: Tsu's question)"
Rayek says "Cutter thinks he's cool coz he gets to sit in her lap. *hmph*"
Nightsea says "I realize it's not a top priority. just a cool bunch of pixels"
Kahvi grins at Rayek
ELFQUEST says "Tsumarin, Wendy says prismacolor pencils grading into aniline dye
tones/markers. (Pre Photoshop days)"
Shadows snorts, "Cutter's used to preferential treatment."
Northwind tsks. "Wolfchief, you've already got Leetah!"
Tsumarin says "thankyou much! *takes a note*"
tolan says "It's good to be the chief""
Peacepine says "Do you ever meet fans on the street, unexpectedly?"
Cutter scooches over, "She loves you, too even if you are bad tempered, sneaky,
underhanded... well, I'll stop there because I can't think of any 'endearing'
qualities and mom always said if I can't say something nice not to say it."
Flashfire says "Can I join ya, Cutter?"
ELFQUEST says "Peacepine, all the time, and it's always a hoot. More often than
not, however, they're not entirely sure it's us, and that allows us to have
sport with them. :)"
silverrain has connected.
Kahvi thinks if we morph to Chibis, we can all snuggle up
Cutter LOVES Prismacolors!
Tasmonia says "I'm just the gullible type that would fall for that"
Fairlight says "Have you ever seen someone and known, somehow, that they wer
Elfquest fans? Ever had them sport with you? ;)"
Peacepine says "*tsk* *chuckle*"
Rayek clambers into ElfMom's lap. Ha. "Yeah, well, you wouldn't look half as
good without me, short stuff."
Flashfire can just imagine that. "No, no. I'm really Rickard Panini."
Moonwalker has connected.
tolan giggles at EQ Chibis
ELFQUEST says "Elfmom says quit wriggling, both of you!"
Nightsea says "got stalkers?"
Cutter sits still and settles for glaring at Rayek.
Tsumarin says "hehe nightsea, no jinxing :)"
Flashfire can be still, nooooo problem.
Tsumarin says "not with all the times ive thought about it"
Kahvi tsks and drags herself between Rayek and Cutter
ELFQUEST says "Nightsea, hey, for all we know, there are few here right now!"
Shadows grins, "What do you guys think of us roleplaying the characters and
such?"
ElfEmber says "Well I am off to bed, I want to thank two moons mush for allowing
today to happen, and to wish Warp a HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! I can't wait to to see
what happens for the 50th! =o)"
Peacepine says "Wendy, do you doodle little sketches sometimes? Like when you're
bored or waiting for something? Just curious, because I do that. :)"
Tasmonia says "Maybe this is a stupid question, but just in case I ever /do/ run
into you guys, what is the correct pronunciation of "Pini"?"
Northwind chuckles. "Elfmom, is that all they're doing? I recently got my hands
on HY9.5. Phew!"
ELFQUEST says "Shadows, we think it's great!"
Tsumarin says "good night ElfEmber :)"
Cutter says "Come back and play with us sometime, ElfEmber!"
Fairlight says "Tsk tsk. All these canonical characters..... Whatever shall we
do with them?"
Flashfire says "Actually, I think I missed this before. WaRP, how are you two
doing this right now? I'm assuming Richard's the one at the comp.."
ElfEmber says "thank you good night!"
ElfEmber has disconnected.
ELFQUEST says "Peacepine, Wendy says she's never been a doodler - she goes right
to the finished drawing."
Rikkert says "Just look at the people who are on here the longest. No wait... I
belong to that group. Please ignore, no stalkers here ;-)"
Shadows snorts, "HAH! I've seen the pics of Wendy's doodles in The elfquest
gatherem :)
ELFQUEST says "Tasmonia, the "i"s are pronounced as long "e"s."
Peacepine says "Wow. :)"
Rayek pulls Cutter's hair. Without wriggling.
Flashfire is just happy you've allowed fans to RP the characters in an
environment like this. Some people are really stuffy about it even if no profit
is being made. I was once playing on a Narnia site and one of Lewis' descendents
pitched a fit, threatened legal action, and it had to be shut down. No fun.
Tasmonia says "muchas gracias"
FireHunter is always on , can walk away and come back adn still be on;)
ELFQUEST says "Flashfire, Wendy and I are at one computer, I'm on keyboard."
Flashfire ahhs.
FireHunter thinks you should think abooooooooout a hub:)
Nightsea says "hope it's gratifying as well as tiring to "press the flesh"
electronically"
Peacepine says "What do you think of people experiementing with mixing EQ with
other fantasy things, like griffins in fan holts or elves mating with lions
instead of wolves?"
BerryWhisper says "I love ElfQuest roleplaying but I keep with my own original
ElfQuest LIKE characters."
Tsumarin says "it certainly is gratifying on this end :)"
Fairlight says "Well, at the risk of being a troll, I think that Elfquest knocks
the Narnia stealth-indoctrination faff into a cocked hat from every conceivable
angle."
ELFQUEST says "It's nicer sitting next to each other!"
FireHunter says "but We can't figure out your buttons and find out secrets thta
way!!:P"
ELFQUEST says "No risk at all..."
Flashfire just hopes he and Cutter aren't too much in the way ;)
Cutter points at Rayek, "And I was nice enough to scoot over and give him some
room."
Rayek awws.
Moonwalker says "If I may, I have a question about the *take a breath* the
movie. Have you considered a production in the vein of "The Dark Crystal",
perhaps even contacting the Jim Henson company in a collaboration?"
Rayek slings an arm around Cutter's (and Kahvi's and Flashfire's) shoulders,
just to prove he can be nice, too.
ELFQUEST says "Moonwalker, that technology is far too old to consider."
FireHunter loved dark crystal as a kid!!
Flashfire says "Well, Narnia is a different beast than EQ, anyway. Hard to
compare the two."
Fairlight says "Poor Elfmom. How many elves on her lap?"
Kahvi starts purring
ELFQUEST says "None, now that she's cattle-prodded them off."
Northwind laughs. "An arm around Cutter -and- Kahvi -and- Flashfire? That's not
nice, that's strangulation!"
Flashfire eep. Tazer!
Rayek yipe.
Rayek actually.
Fairlight lol. Fzzt! Fzzt! Smell of fried Rayek and Cutter..
BerryWhisper says "NOOOOO The movie has GOT to be animated. The art needs to be
there . It wouldn't look quite right I don't think if not animated"
Cutter ows at the prodding!
Dix has connected.
Peacepine says "I agree with BerryWhispe"
Tsumarin says "im with BerryWhisper"
Peacepine says "r"
Dix pop.
Nightsea says "yeah. animated movie please."
Flashfire says "With the animation I've seen in stuff like Shrek, Treasure
Planet, and the like, I'm very excited about the EQ movie's possibilities."
Dix oooh, movietalk.
Rayek takes a moment to be serious and says, "Thank you for being supportive of
*us* being fans, Elfquest."
Rikkert says "Yeah, the dark crystal rules. Artwork by Brian Froud (just as on
Labrinth). It's so cool"
Tsumarin says "when i heard about the attempts to make it real life :/.... i
about fainted"
Nightsea says "been waiting for it long enough. ;)"
Moonwalker says "Hmm. I find puppetry timeless. So, the thought never occured to
you two?"
Fairlight says "Hear hear Rayek"
Shadows grins and notes that it's safer hiding in the shadows then sitting on
laps :)
ELFQUEST says "EVERY thought has occurred to us, believe us."
Dix laughs. "Did you say something about what thought you're using at the
moment?" ;)
Cutter flops down in some nearby pillows and lounges then.
Dix, being late as usual. ;)
ELFQUEST says "Including that very one."
BerryWhisper says "I heard the same thing Tsumarin, about had a heart attack,
something about kids ridding big dogs. Ugg."
Moonwalker says "Ok. :-) Somehow, I'd just love to have your world that much
more tangable, I suppose."
Tsumarin says "i know, frightening thought"
Tasmonia says "Well, unfortunately I have too go, which is a bummer because the
conversation is much less hectic now. To Wendy: You are truly a goddess and you
inspire me every day. Thank you so much for all you have given us. To Richard: I
have a great deal of respect for you and all the hard work you do and for your
presence in EQ Fandom. To both: Happy 25th Anniversary! Know that all the blood,
sweat, and tears you've put into this for a quarter century has been appreciated
by so many and we are all so grateful. We love you!"
Tsumarin says "good night tasmonia :)"
Nightsea says "speaking of tangibles..any 25th anniversary realia or
memorabilia?"
ELFQUEST says "Tasmonia, thank you very very much!"
Peacepine says "Ok, now you must read the peom I wrote about the EQ movie when I
was a kid. http://www.elfeyes.com/writings/vicki-rappin.html"
ELFQUEST says "Nightsea, keep checking the EQ online shop."
Bramble has reconnected.
Shadows grabs a snowball from the holt and pelts Rayek. "Cutter did it!"
Tasmonia says "See you all later--hopefully there will be more chats in the
future! I forgot to mention that I have so much fun with all my fellow fans.
Shade!"
Nightsea says "will do! :)"
Cutter wants to thank you both for creating and breathing life into these
wonderful characters and stories... something that so many storylines are
lacking in these days.
Moonwalker says "What of the Fan Club? It seems rather quiet on that front. I
was hoping for a new pin. <g>"
Goldeye has disconnected.
Tasmonia has disconnected.
Bramble says "And thanks for spending all day chatting with crazy fans. :)"
ELFQUEST says "We're down the the final half hour - let's make it spectacular!"
Flashfire ain't crazy! ;)
Rayek splutters. The things he has to put up with.
Tsumarin says "Moonwalker, i think the idea of puppetry would be lovely too, Elf
Quest could never look truley bad unless missrepresented, but the EQ art... so
timeless"
Northwind looks thoughtful. "Say. Wasn't one of the ideas for an 25th Anniv
Celebration to see how many howls we could send up at once?"
FireHunter gets the Cake and Icecream!:)
ELFQUEST says "That was a thought, yes."
Shadows isn't crazy. Just over imaginative and adorable for a scaredy elf.
ELFQUEST says "Everyone howl right now!"
Flashfire says "Be honest, ElfQuest - you say you've considered all thoughts,
but tell me you didn't consider the one used in that video ;)"
Peacepine says "You may have missed my question in the hubbubb - what do you
think of fans mixing EQ with other fantasy for fun? For instance, one holt I'm
has elves bonded with Griffins"
Nightsea says "I really hope this day isn't the only fan chat we'll see in 2003"
Northwind says ""AAAAAAYYYYYYYOOOOOoOOOOOOooooooooooaaaaah!""
silverrain says "aaaaayyoooooooaaaaahhhhhh"
FireHunter says "AAaaYyYyYYYooOOOOOOAAAAHhhh"
FireHunter says "AAaaYyYyYYYooOOOOOOAAAAHhhh"
Flashfire says "Ayooooooooooooooah!! *coughsputter* Ahem.
AyyyyyyyyooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOooooooOOOOOAaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!"
Peacepine says "Ayoooah!"
Rikkert says "aaayyyyooooooooaaaaahhhhhh"
ELFQUEST says "We can't heeeeeeeear you... ;)"
Cutter says
"Ayooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhh!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Tsumarin says "Aayoooah!"
BerryWhisper says "AAAAAYYYYOOOOAAAAHHHH!!"
Barb says "Aayooooooooaaaaahhhhhh!"
Kahvi hmmms, and then howls too, "Oooooooooowoooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
tolan says "AAAAAAYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOooooooOOOOOaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!"
Moonwalker says "AAhyooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
Nightsea says "howls too"
Fairlight says "Is it specifically surprising, I wonder, that so many of us feel
very much a part of Elfquest? Not that Elfquest is a part of our lives, but
rather the sense that we've been gifted something. Itworld amazing not because
of great magics and catastrophe's, but because of how truthfully it depicts the
human condition."
Rikkert howls AAAAAYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAHHHHHH
Traest tries desperately to keep the preservers out of it. :)
ELFQUEST says "Not shabby! :)"
Rayek coughs. "Um. Aroo."
Bramble says
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHAAAAAAA
AAAAA""
Flashfire peers at Rayek. Weak.
Fairlight says "Like any really great lit. But much cuter :)"
Dix uh, ayyyoooommmrrrrow.
FireHunter jabs Rayek!:P
Northwind chortles at Rayek. "Come on, black hair!"
Rayek aeeeyooOOOOOOOOW!
Bramble says "I think need to tickle a howl out of Rayek."
Bramble has partially disconnected.
Moonwalker says "They best fantasy, I feel, is the one that speaks truths in a
way we'd never pay attention to otherwise."
Jadelion says
"AAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
FireHunter groans and of course I must go for a bit have FUN!!!
Flashfire can just see the Preservers now: bigthings make muchnoise! Or
something.
FireHunter idles
Peacepine says "I need to go. My cat is saying "pay attention to me!!!" Thanks
so much for the opportunity to chat! It's always fun talking with you all. *many
hugs*"
Northwind revels in the comradarie. "EQ fans, EQ mom and dad, HAPPY 25th!"
Flashfire says "Take care!"
Tsumarin says "'night Peacepine"
Rikkert says "Flashfire: Just insert the funny letters!"
Nightsea says "be well, Peacepine"
Peacepine says "Happy Anniversary!!!"
Rayek points out the fact that he has Petalwing in his lap. No more jabbing or
we turn it lose. ;)
Fairlight says "Fantasy, comes at you from a strange angle, but hit the same
spot, eh Moon?"
Moonwalker nods
Peacepine says "I definitely hope for another big chat sometime. :)"
Goldeye has connected.
tolan phears the Petalwing
Goldeye has left.
Dix has a Q. Can you/will you discuss the future of the elven race in the
context of their existence on Abode (such as it is, even with few members as in
Jink's time) and other non-original homeworlds? How about the trollish race? Can
you tell us anything about Abode's long-term reaction to these presences?
ELFQUEST says "We think there will definitely be more such chats."
Goldeye has arrived.
Northwind lifts an eyebrow at Rayek. "We? Not having a Gollum complex are 'we'?"
BerryWhisper says "I just love the EQ is never compleatly black or white."
Northwind cheers at the prospect of more chats.
Peacepine says "(oh sure - ask a super interesting question just as I'm trying
to leave. *lol*)"
Rikkert cheers
Flashfire says "So does Rayek consider Cutter's neck-ring a preciousssss?"
ELFQUEST says "Dix, all that will be discussed in future stories. There is much
of Futurequest to be done, as well as others."
Dix meant thematically. But that's ok. :)
Northwind laughs.
Kahvi cackles
Malandor has arrived.
ELFQUEST says "Dix, we can't really separate the theme from the specifics,
without giving too much away - and you KNOW we won't do that!"
Cutter hunches over, covers his neck ring protectively and in a rasping voice
says, "My precciousssss..."
Dix doesn't type good interview questions, especially on the spot. I tried my
best. ;)
Malandor says "Question: Are there presently, or any plans for, stories dealing
with High Ones who went to worlds other than Abode?"
Shadows grins, "I need to find a way to get elfquest out here. This place
doesn't have a single comic book store."
Flashfire eyes Cutter. "Mental, that one. I'm tellin' ya."
Rayek says "Let's face it, gold looks better on me."
Fairlight says "On top of all that, I really like the elves. I like the way they
look, and the great fashions they wear. Amen"
ELFQUEST says "Dix, that's OK - you put out on heck of a great magazine in
Sendings. :)"
Nightsea says "deeply personal Q:do you consider EQ as a bonding force in your
RL relationship, Wendy and Richard? do you think without it you'd be as close?"
Dix laughs. Thanks. :)
BerryWhisper says "I was thinking the same thing Malandor. People keep stealing
my thoughts. :)"
Moonwalker says "I think I have one more question before I go. I'm infinately
curious of the reasons for not touring. Is it scheduling, financial, dislike of
venues, or a combination?"
Shadows snaps a leash on Cutter's collar, "Sit boy sit!"
Cutter growls at Shadows.
Dix . o O ( Who has TIME to TOUR? )
Northwind blinks in awe at Shadows.
ELFQUEST says "Nightsea, it's the other way around. It's because we're close
that EQ exists."
ELFQUEST says "Moonwalker, it's really mostly just time. We're going to be
jammed to the wall this year and next. And next."
Tsumarin says "goosebumps at that"
Moonwalker says "Hmm. If it help ya at all, I could tour on your behalf. :-) I'm
a GREAT speaker. <g>"
Northwind says "All hierarchy within the pack's off today, is it?""
Nightsea says "awwww :)"
Moonwalker says "Witty too. *wink*"
Dix towers over the elves, feeling tallish for the first time. Ever. :)
Cutter gnaws the leash in two.
Flashfire sticks a pin in Dix's shoe, then watches the air rush out. Oops.
Cutter snickers.
Malandor says "Question (since I think it may have been missed first time): Are
there presently, or any plans for, stories dealing with High Ones who went to
worlds other than Abode?"
(New BB message (1/44) posted to 'General' by Natil: Next Idledest: 3/31/03)
tolan giggles
Nightsea says "I have a story like that, Malandor. tehehe"
Dix eeks and falls back onto her couch.
ELFQUEST says "Malandor, that's been suggested before, but now we have more
opportunity to consider it."
Dix oohs.
Fairlight says "Do you look forward to a day when you can sit back and see the
spirit of Elfquest in the world around you, seeping back out from other people
who could never know you were its inspiration?"
Northwind says "Q: is there any way to save this log in SimpleMU?"
Peacepine has disconnected.
Fairlight says "You know: Ripples"
Fairlight says "Perhaps you already DO see it?"
Moonwalker says "Once again, my break-time is over. Second shift is such a hoot.
Happy Anniversary, Elfquest. Wendy and Richard, simply thank you for everything.
And thank you for those who chatted with me today, I had a great time. Shade and
sweet water."
ELFQUEST says "Fairlight, that would be a day, indeed."
Tsumarin says "Good day/night Moonwalker :)"
Shadows notes that he's been smacking around Cutter for years. He knows his
place he.....umm....eep. Please don't kill me! ;)
Northwind says "Wendy, the last part of Dreamtime - where you talk to Cutter and
Skywise - is very touching. I think anyone who reads that would want to do
everything they can to help fulfill your dream. =)"
Cutter waves to Moonwalker.
Moonwalker waves good bye to all
BerryWhisper says "Bye Moonwalker"
Dix reread that the other day, Wendy's walk with her elves, and just loved it
all over again. Lots to say in there.
Fairlight says "Tata moon"
Moonwalker has disconnected.
Bramble says "I saw a logo for some non-comic company once that was just like
the warp logo."
Nightsea says "Q: have a favorite "EQ moment"? something that happened in RL
that made you remember EQ or vice versa?"
ELFQUEST says "Northwind, Wendy says dreams shift and change as dreams will.
I've learned a lot and adapted with the changes."
Flashfire says "Northwind - open a log and have it keep everything from the time
you signed on."
Dix yeah, that happens. We had a martial arts place here that lifted the Warp
logo. They went out of business before I could send their stuff to Richard. Oh
well...
Tsumarin says "karma? hehe"
Flashfire says "Dix: that's called karma."
Tsumarin says ":)"
Flashfire says "Braincell again."
ELFQUEST says "For us, it was the scene with the fireflies."
Dix laughs. Yes, yes it is!
Cutter loves the fireflies scene.
Dix nudges Cutter, well of course.
Rayek says "Yeah."
ELFQUEST says "Dix and Tsumarin - not karma at all. Just a large Italian
"family". Heh. Heh. Heh."
Rayek says "That's a beautiful scene."
Kahvi loves the true-peace scene ...
Shadows grins and remembers reading about how upset people were when some of the
more sensual scenes began appearing in the comic.
Flashfire says "QUESTION: What's the strangest EQ sighting you've had? Locally I
saw a place for 'Tam's hairdressing'"
Rikkert says "Bramble: yeah, so did I. Only a week or 2 ago. at the time i
thought: I must remember this. But i didn't. So i'll proberbly be thinking about
it for the next 2 days and then give it up. It was on the internet though"
Dix cackles at Elfquest.
Nightsea says "already knew about that one. did it ever happen again? not the
scene specifically...another one"
ELFQUEST says "For us, it was Cutter painted onto a roller coaster in a Munich
amusement park."
Flashfire says "Sweet."
Dix ...oh my.
Rayek laughs.
Dix hopes you took a picture.
Tsumarin says "That tells makes me think.... Wendy and Richard, one thing that i
appreciate alot is your willingness to open up to your readers.. such personal
stuff that I, as a writer and artist have difficulty doing... it really brings
your fans closer, in a special way..."
ELFQUEST says "We were sent a picture."
tolan says "Oh, we have a Bearclaw's Bar & Grill out here :)"
ELFQUEST says "Tsumarin, when it's in there and it has to come out, there's no
stopping it."
Fairlight says "For me, seeing pictures of elves graffitied on a wall in
Brighton, England. Ten years after the fact, an almost-faded image that is the
nearest I've ever personally got to understanding what the fandom was like in
the early 1980s"
Fairlight says "I wish I"
Fairlight says "Id had a camera"
ELFQUEST says "Skywise and Cutter also made a very strange guest appearance in
two episodes of the cartoon "The Mighty Ducks"!"
Nightsea says "awww too bad you didn't ride that coaster."
Tsumarin says "omg really?"
Fairlight says "The mighty ducks? what's that?"
Traest hehehes. "A cartoon."
Cutter has never heard of that cartoon.
Traest's seen it a few times, but not the Skywise/Cutter episodes.
Neko says "Disney made it"
Tsumarin says "Mighty Ducks, the only thing i know of it is the movie"
Nightsea says "tv cartoon or in print?"
ELFQUEST says "TV cartoon"
Flashfire says "Disney cartoon based on the movies - a kid's hockey team.
Coached by Emilio Estevez. Turned into an NHL franchise in Ahaheim"
BerryWhisper says "I remember the cartoon but didn't watch too much , never saw
THOSE episodes."
Dix snerks. And now,
Neko says "hockey team of real ducks made to help promote their team."
Dix snerks. And now, the Mighty Duckriders...
Fairlight says "How did C and S turn up in it?"
Cutter says "Wow.. a cameo.."
Windrider says "Tell us about the strange appearances."
ELFQUEST says "Joe Barruso, who used to be Wendy's assistant, was the director
on the series - it was a tip o' the hat."
Cutter says "That's very cool."
Nightsea says "has Wendy ever been tempted to leave EQ in favor of other gigs?"
Flashfire recalls from reading the Gatherum and such that WaRP have appeared in
Marvel Comics a couple times, and..wasn't it Skywise who was drawn in as a
balloon in the Thanksgiving Parade? That's kind of neat, having worked it a
couple times myself.
Nightsea says "not that I ever wish she would, of course"
ELFQUEST says "It was a fantasy episode. Cutter was a small green elf eating
cereal, and Skywise was a tall elf who helped the ducks out. Don't ask for more
detail, it's too weird!"
Goldeye says "lol"
Flashfire says "How strange."
ELFQUEST says "Nightsea, she did the Beauty and the Beast graphic novels, and
odds and ends for other comics companies."
Rayek says "Small. Green. *snigger*"
Fairlight says "Were the voices good? heheh"
Bramble files that away to tweak cutter with at a later date.
Nightsea says "I meant more along the lines of doing tv work, or other media"
Cutter pokes Rayek.
Tsumarin says "those beaty and the beast novels looked gorgeous, even though i
never found any"
Cutter says "You didn't get a cameo."
Northwind says "The spoofy eds of Worldpool where Cutter's pink... I think that
would work better with color instead of black and white... *wry*"
Dix can't imagine Wendy giving up on EQ, but she does lots of other goodies from
time to time.
ELFQUEST says "Nightsea, tempted? Sure. But she says she's a loyal elfmom."
Dix laughs.
Rayek can handle not being small and green. You take your fifteen minutes,
shorty. ;)
Cutter says "And we're certainly grateful for that."
Nightsea says "WHEW. and Hurray!"
Northwind says "but my brother (he's 13) loves 'em! And the Star WarPs ones. =)"
Dix says "And wolfmom, trollmom, preservermom, humanmom,
wriggly-things-with-green-scalesmom..."
ELFQUEST says "There have been numerous homages, parodies, etc. of EQ out there.
Almost without exception, we've enjoyed them."
Fairlight says "Have you enjoyed talking at such expanded length with us lot?""
Coldmist has the two Beauty and Beast comics ... took me half a world to find
them
Fairlight says "Uh oh. "Almost" without exception?"
ELFQUEST says "Mostly... ;)"
Traest chuckles. "Have they actually run dry?"
Shadows says "They loved talking to everyone but Rayek. He's being mean ;)"
Fairlight says "I've never looked at a comic other than EQ. I've spoke to others
who are similarly comic-illiterate."
ELFQUEST says "One can tell when the end is near - everyone gets quiet."
Tsumarin says "its sad hehe"
Shadows says "I rescued some of the original elfquest comics from a comic book
store after the flood in Fort Collins Colorado"
Nightsea says "I enjoy all of Wendy's art, actually...but EQ can't be done as
well by others and I hope she never tires of it"
Northwind says "Or it's just a pause for breath. =)"
Rayek is not being mean to Mom and Dad. He hopes.
Dix has been hilariously quiet, she thinks. For herself, anyway.
ELFQUEST says "Or, as they say in bars, 'You don't have to go home but you can't
stay here.' :)"
Flashfire says "It kind of seems like the main questions have been asked, yeah."
Srian has connected.
Fairlight says "IN fact, I often felt a certain hostility to elfquest from
"comic people" especially owners of comic shops, one of whom seemed to have
serious personal issues with its very existence. Why is this? Is it just me?"
Rikkert says "It's not sad, it's said LOL"
Flashfire says "Closing Time - Semisonic ;)"
BerryWhisper says "Wow Shadows, I'm in Denver, Would have drove up there if I
knew."
Dix objects to Elfquest's nondesc. :)
Bramble says "I read a few other comics, but since I started reading EQ from the
graphic novels, I only had occasion to go into a comic store when Hidden Years
came out. And bout HY 1-3 at a con, and ran around town trying to find #4,
because I had no clue there'd be new stories."
Northwind mutters, "Flashfire.... I think I know that song..."
ELFQUEST says "Fairlight, we've experienced that for 25 years. With EQ you
either 'get it' or you don't."
silverrain says "my comic book dealer loves eq. He's met warp a few times"
Kahvi says "Some Comic Shop owners are weird ..."
Dix looks at Kahvi. Some?
Bramble says "My comics reading, D&D playing friends, though EQ elves were too
perfect."
Flashfire says "It's kind of funny. The very first day I even heard about EQ was
the day of its 20th Anniversary. That's timing."
Shadows grins, "My comic book shop in colorado carried the Elfquest CD and alot
of the other memorbilia like the phone card and the pins
Northwind can't comprehend anyone not liking EQ.
Kahvi grins
Rayek actually heard someone pushing Elfquest as a great comic to read if you
are comic clueless and trying to get into them as an adult, just last weekend.
It was very cool.
Shadows wonders what you guys thought of the elfquest music?
Fairlight says "Do you think there's a lot of jealousy because you were not only
different, but you were independent and quite obviously extraordinarily talented
and good at what you did, whether they got it or not?"
Northwind says "CD? Oh you mean the filks!"
Nightsea says "there was a phone card?"
ELFQUEST says "With the plans we've got for 2003 and beyond, we hope many many
more people will be introduced to EQ."
Srian sneaks in, and notes how hard it's been for her, in Ontario, to find
anything EQ.
Tsumarin says "thats what i was about to say Northwind hehe... everyone ive ever
shown it to has become an instant fan... maybe my friends just have good taste"
Dix says "Actually, a series of phone cards. Four, perhaps?"
tolan bouncies happy circles around you both! -bouncy- -bouncy- -bouncy-
-bouncy- -bouncy- -bouncy- -bouncy- -bounce!!- @WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! 8D
Flashfire says "Hey - how about EQ check designs? ;)"
Shadows says "I have the one with Skywise looking out at the stars"
Bramble says "Or an EQ credit card design. :)"
Dix says "Or an EQ elf in space. Oh wait, you did that already."
tolan says "Four phone cards that i remember. Actually managed to find 3 of
them"
Nightsea says "more more more....we just want more"
Traest thinks mixing "Live In The Now" with credit cards may not be a great
idea. :)
Northwind says "EQ, we'll definitely do our part in spreading the word! Won't
we? =) (My friends and colleagues certainly know. EQ, EQ EQ, that's all that
comes out of my mouth anymore these days. *wry*)"
Dix laughs!
Shadows snickers, "Elfquest credit card.....The only thing scarier then the
trolls on the front is the interest rate?
Flashfire says "Talk about maxed out accounts"
Tsumarin says "haha, you could put EQ on everything i own and id be happy"
Fairlight says "As time's nearly up, I'd like to wish Wendy and Richard another
25 years of success and happyness! And many thanks for the first 25 - you've
changed a million lives."
Tsumarin says "ditto :)"
gtree has connected.
silverrain says "Thank you WARP for everything"
Northwind says "EQ barbie dolls? *eep!* What would Matel do to 'em? Now, that's
a scary thought!"
Nightsea says "I hope your merchandizing contracts say you keep the $$...cause
after the movie sales should skyrocket"
Barb says "Amen to that. Many many thanks for all the pleasure you've given."
Srian pokes Trae and grins, "Just adds "Spend in the Now" to life. ;)
Flashfire icks at Northwind ;)
ELFQUEST says "We're very grateful to everyone who's read and who will read EQ,
and who 'gets it', and espeically to the Two Moons folks for letting us run
rampant all over their MUSH!"
tolan says "Yes, thankyou for everything :)"
Rikkert says "Yes. Thanks you two. And extend my thanks to all the people who
work(ed) with you!"
Dix fuzzles the EQ persona. Affectionately. But respectfully. ;)
Flashfire says "It was very fun to spend a day with you both. Very cool idea."
Bramble says "Lets not wait 25 years to do this again. :)"
Shadows chuckles, "What did you guys think when you first heard of the elfquest
mush?"
Nightsea says "*claps for Two Moons, WARP, and all us fans* great chat!"
silverrain says "Clear Paths and Warm Skies To You All"
ELFQUEST says "One... more... time... AYYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAHHHHH!"
Srian says "you're quite welcome, EQ. Can't speak for the rest of teh team, but
I know that I'm glad we could help out."
Cutter says
"AYyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyoooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
!!!!!"
tolan says "AYYYYYOOOOOOAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
Tsumarin says "i remember years ago... years and years.. when i couldnt find an
address to even write my one piece of fanmail.... little did i know id be
"speaking" with you one day"
Bramble says
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
BerryWhisper hugs everybody.
Windrider says "AYYYYYOOOOOOOAAAHHHH!!"
Tsumarin says "Aayooah!"
silverrain says "AAAAAAYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH"
Kahvi coughs,
"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooowooooooooooooo"
Dix blushes furiously. Um. "AyhoooooooooOOOOOOOOOrrrm!"
Flashfire clears his throat and lets out with a big'un.
"AYYYYooooooooooOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!! Wolf. Rar.
Fairlight says "Ahyuhah!""
Traest chuckles. "Quite welcome Elfquest, and thanks for the 25 years of
Elfquest!"
Nightsea says "AYYYOOOOOOAHHHHH"
Shadows steps on Rayek's foot to help inspire him "Aaaaayooooahhhhhh!"
Jadelion says "AAAAAAYYYYYYYYOOOOOOAAAAAAHHHHHHH"
Rikkert howls AAAYYYYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!
Goldeye says
"AAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!""
Barbtoo teary to howl. chokes a bit.
Northwind throws back her head, the wolf within her roar:
AAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOYYYYAAaaaa
BerryWhisper says "Ayyyyyyooooaaahhhhh!!"
Dix fuzzles Barb! *snif*
The preservers will not be contained this time, and sing! "BREE-DREE-DEE!"
IceFire says "AAYYYYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"
Elfquest has disconnected.
