Whose book should be next, AND WHY?

Thus far, the answers are:

Who: Remin

Why: He's hot, he's horny, and he's the right age. He needs to get laid. Plus, it'll be good angst. He's already been through enough, and Kudorin and Xio Voe's wedding will be even more stress on top of that. Basically, give the man a break! Besides, the other brothers aren't ready.

Who: Talin

Why: Talin deserves some true love.

Who: Selorin

Why: Because he needs to get with Vade already! Plus, he seems ready.

Bonus answer: unless it's Timberlake in which c...

I sense a theme

Do you sense a theme? From Twitter:

Libras_Art @matthewtime AH! I'm not sure if I should kiss you for giving us even that much or pinch you for being a tease... =}~

SarahFrantz @matthewtime Tease.

emmytie @SarahFrantz I was figuring since Talin doesn't seem like he's anywhere near ready, it would be Remin (YAY), but @matthewtime is a tease.

Hi

1.) Totally appreciate everyone's support on the job-hoping front and the gift subscription front as well. THANK YOU. Better replies coming when I have a minute.

2.) Totally enjoying the ITL discussion in the other thread. Whoo-hoo!

3.) So, Xio Voe's back in the Empire. I like seeing the interactions with his siblings because:

a.) They're part of the Empire's future and of Xio Voe's family, so it's nice to get to know them a little better.

b.) It's interesting to see how Xio Voe's changed and...

Request

I've had two people this week alone contact me about needing to cancel ITL subscriptions because of financial difficulties. If you'd like to offer a gift subscription, please let me know.

Fingers crossed

I'm in the process of applying for a new job. A very different, very exciting new job that actually pays money. I'm completely in over my head. Please send positive thoughts, prayers, and whatever else you're into.

Xio Voe left his encrypted message with Vade, right? So that message is for Vade? THE PLOT THICKENS!

Okay, it's time to face Emperor Sei. Are you nervous? Confident about it? Hopeful?

Sleep, elusive sleep

Kim was all, "Make sure that you get to sleep early tonight," because of some scheduling stuff about tomorrow.

I was all, "Sure, no problem."

And then the weather was all, "Rain rain rain rain rain rain rain. Oh, short break, looks like - - never mind! Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain. No rain! Fooled you! Rain rain rain rain rain."

And the storm puppy was all, "No sleep! You can't sleep! You must stay awake! And pay attention to me! Because it's raining!"

Yeah. Five am. Haven't been to sl...

More on ITL (WITH SPOILERS)

The general incoherency of this thread is very rewarding. Thank you for your celebratory reactions!

Is there anything that y'all want to discuss at more length?

A few comments to get you started:

wutendeskind: My love for Xio Voe and Kudorin was hard earned. It was through their humanity, together, that I came to love them and this chapter was just so perfect and satisfying.

vicxn: When he was saying how he would marry someone else and forget about Kudorin i did let a tear slip but now im soooo...

Happy birthday

Happy birthday, otherdeb!
