Logistically Haplo would win.

Using the power of nostalgia

amei March 25 2010, 09:13:00 UTC

But for that to work you'd have to remember Haplo. I-It has been a while...

:U

I had the biggest crush on Haplo when I was 11! I remember reading a lot of trash in those days;;;;;

obv on quality of material Temeraire would win

motorbike March 25 2010, 09:19:45 UTC

God. Those books were so homoerotic. I was too young to know what was going on but even then I knew I liked it.

amei March 25 2010, 09:22:02 UTC

You are making me want to go back and read them, but I don't want to ruin this magic I cannot remember.

(whhhhaat?)

motorbike March 25 2010, 09:37:10 UTC

Oh my god, do not touch them again by any means! Just remember that there were awkward gay friendships FROM TWO DIFFERENT WORLDS and magical dragons but also evil dragons and a cute dog. Oh and that one chick MILF Alfred dates in a fit of denial who dies in like the following chapter.

Why do I remember all this so clearly when I can't even remember what I ate for breakfast, goddamn

amei March 25 2010, 10:22:48 UTC

I am seriously even beginning to wonder if I read these books at all, I am sure I did but...Score! I found the books in my brother's old storage box.

re: memory, Obvs it is an enduring passion. idk

I remember that other one (out of the many other ones) Weis and Hickman wrote about that red headed wizard who fell in homo love with an arabian prince sorry calif and in hetero love said prince's wife, and there were angels and djinn and goldfish...and this is all quite confusing.

Rose of the Prophe

er I mean I

have no idea which book that is

amei March 25 2010, 12:26:39 UTC

Nice save!

motorbike March 25 2010, 10:48:45 UTC

eh heh

motorbike March 25 2010, 11:10:31 UTC

Oh and also that Haplo's people were cool with ladies marrying ladies and bros marrying bros!

AH, THE 90s, such an innocent time.

amei March 25 2010, 09:27:29 UTC

Also I am admiring how you come straight out with your pre-adolescent crushes on angst-ridden-protagonists from books of dubious literary merit uuuu wish I could be so bold ////

sorry about the spam K ;A; (again) motorbike March 25 2010, 09:41:24 UTC

Idk I guess the neo-nazi thing was a turn on for Young Me? Also I liked that he got naked all the time for no reason (??) and almost fucked an underage girl (!!)

COME ON AMEI OUT WITH IT be bold

boldddd

K I'm sorrrrrrryyy amei March 25 2010, 10:24:52 UTC

!!!............... But my courage is not at a high enough level, time to go to my part time job at the hospital and bang up that sexy nurse.

I love dorking out at terrible SFF. So cathartic.

Lol I was asleep during this entire exchange canis_m March 26 2010, 02:22:35 UTC

No idea who Haplo is but I see your tween fantasy shame and raise you a Vanyel

Re: Lol I was asleep during this entire exchange tochira March 28 2010, 23:38:26 UTC

Aaahaha I loved them both. Although I did spend almost an entire summer reading the Death Gate Cycle as opposed to what, three days with the Vanyel books... XD;;;;;;;;;;;;;

And I adored Haplo (yes he should have won!), but also Alfred. I. I mean. TURNING INTO A DRAGON kinda beats all for me.
