Vanyel is spelled with a V not a Y.

 

Thanks!!


There are a few more days; we'd like to get some more noms, and EF will choose the number than move on from there.

 

Susan Sto Helit
Jonathan Teatime
Sir Gawain
Carmilla

 

This will be, uhh, interesting.

 

Montolio "Mooshie" DeBrouchee - The Legend of Drizzt
Erevis Cale - The Twilight War, and The Erevis Cale Trilogy
Prince Rivalen - The Twilight War
Jarlaxle - The Legend of Drizzt

I need someone else to post so I can submit more.

 

So...how about starting this?

 

Corwin - The Chronicles of Amber.

 

Snowball - Animal Farm
Gabriel Conroy - Dubliners
Heathcliff - Wuthering Heights
Catherine Earnshaw - Wuthering Heights

 

This will probably go down the same route as the JCC top 100 Monkeys thread did.

 

I should play this for grins. Is there room? Are people signed up yet?

 

It's not actually a game, it's a tournament. We're at the end of the nominations stage, so if there are any more characters you'd like to see in, suggest them now.

 

So, about that tournament thing...

 

Bassil or I will be starting this within the next week - our apologies for the wait
