Yes. Maureen O'Brien put one up a few years ago, at the Rutgers SF Lovers' site -- I've put the link here. (Note: the e-mail address at the end of the timeline is obsolete.) I know of one other in existence -- the not-yet-ready-for-posting one on which I am working. There are significant areas of difference in interpretation between Maureen's and mine. Interested persons can e-mail me for more information. : Also, are there sites/boards for just the 'Solar Queen' series? This is my personal favorite of all her writings. Not that I've ever been able to find. I would love to find them if they are out there. : Last question. As a RPG fan, I noticed certain elements in ICE's "Iron Wind/Loremaster" and space worlds that were Norton related. So I'm not the only one who spotted that. :Certain names and races, the 'Luar' as a precursor race, the 'Thalan' as a race, just as described in "The Zero Stone", and an entire continent on their fantasy world that was very similar to the 'crown' setup in "Ice Crown" did she have some part in this or just give permission for their use? I saw no mention of it anywhere, but did recognize the items. (probably why I liked that world). And did you notice the incredible similarity between Norton's Waystar and ICE's Starhaven -- and between the Thieves'Guild and ICE's League of Merchants? : Thanks for listening. You're quite welcome. And thank you for giving me the opportunity to stick my oar in on another off-the-wall topic. Respectfully, Michael B. Caffrey Stellae Nostrae Sunt! |
