(Uber-Spoilers)) From: Zeynep Dilli / 'Morwen' Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2000 01:32:58 -0500 Hi there, I'm keeping the spoiler warning and spoiler space for those who would be spoiled even by knowing whether a character is in a givan book or not, but it's a filksong down there, and I've removed almost all the spoilers except one character's name that _does_ come up in WH. It was Mon, 13 Nov 2000... P. Korda spoke words of wisdom: > In article <8uhm64$j8j$1@nnrp1.deja.com>, > Leigh Butler wrote: > >Okay, I haven't even looked at the other threads yet, seeing as I'm at > >work and loathe Deja, but dammit, I'm determined to get in my bid to be > >part of the WOT FAQ credits... > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >storyline.

Leigh says so, Pam agrees, and while I can't cite everybody who's said so both before and after WH, I'm pretty sure 95% of the active poster population has gone "Kill Sevanna!"--at least once. Such a refrain started echoes in my head. Especially since I agree heartily. So... PLEASE KILL SEVANNA (to the tune of "Please Please Me", by Lennon/McCartney) Last night I sat down to read Jordan, In no time I was moaning "Jordan, Come on (come on), come on (come on), Come on (come on), come on (come on), Please kill Sevanna, 'nuff already!" You don't need her for any plotline, Her tale's been dragging like a clothes-line-- Come on (come on), come on (come on), Come on (come on), come on (come on), Please kill Sevanna, 'nuff already! She's too smug, blind and irritating, She just serves to make Perrin boring-- Come on (come on), come on (come on), Come on (come on), come on (come on), Please kill Sevanna, 'nuff already! Not only characters do hate her; Readers truly abominate her. Come on (come on), come on (come on), Come on (come on), come on (come on), Please kill Sevanna, 'nuff already! Whitecloaks, Seanchan, Therava, Mat's dice, Galina, Faile, or figs and mice-- Come on (come on), come on (come on), Come on (come on), come on (come on), Please kill Sevanna, 'nuff already! (Apologies to all involved, _except_ Sevanna. And I know the original has only two distinct stanzas, but seeing as how we all hate her... It's a parody, no financial gain intended, all that.) -- :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) Zeynep Dilli "All You Need Is Love" -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- GE/MU/S/L d--(+) s: a22 C++ US+ P L+>++ E---- W++>$ N++ K? w>-- !O M- V?
