"They told afterward how Ned had carried Ser Arthurs sword back to the young sister who awaited him in a castle called Starfall on the shores of the Summer Sea."

One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them,

Oddly enough, there is a story behind my name.
My real name is Stephen Sullivan. My friends called me Steve. Until that night two years ago. My friend Caleb and I were playing Goldeneye on his N64. We're both large, I'm 6"3' and he's 6"2' so we think nothing of downing a load of sodas. We both went through 2 two litre bottles of mountain dew, coke and other stuff.
We normally taunt each other after a kill, after that much caffeine, he couldn't pronounce my name, so he started calling me Steezo, and it stuck. It annoyed me for 3 months, after that all my friends were calling me Steezo, and by then I think the caffeine was worn off.
That's it. You were expecting a serious story? All it was was Caleb calling me Steve after 3 two-litre bottles of soda.
I hated it for 4 months. After that, Caleb had told everyone and I had to get used to it. After a while I just started using it as my online tag.

I was playing a MUD for the first time, and wanted a name for my lady thief. I was also in a shakespeare lit class at the time, so... I opened up the Riverside to a random play and, Voila! Viola! Not sure what play it was, definately not Hamlet or MND or Tempest or Winters Tale or King Lear, as I know those well.
On Everquest I was usually Aphrael, from another Eddings series (I think the Tamuli).

Nephthys, I only like Belgariad series. The Malloreans and the "Sparhawk" saga are all repetitive and boring. Ok - the reason why I like Belgariad is in the style of the writing (not so much as the depth of the story). Eddings' writing is makes the story more lively especially the endless bickering among the party members unlike most of the other authors who tend to make their characters bland and gloomy.
Of course, if I want depth of plot, I would be reading Tolkien.
Side note: I hate the Riftwar Saga and I don't see why people love Raymond E Fiest. His plots are so far fetched and stupid!

Turnip on 18/5/2000 at 12:06
When I first started at University in the dim and distant past I was given an IP address of some sort of game. At the time I was sure I was going to be working so hard that I would not have time to play and chose a name off the top of my head - Turnip. Sadly the IP address was a local MUD called Sushi and is closely connected to the reason I failed to attend any lectures for the last two terms of the first year and subsequently failed my first year exams.
Still, it was always funny to look at the kills log and see "Demon Harbinger of Death killed by Turnip".

It always amuses me when people get into heated arguments over which fantasy novel has a better "plot." Come on. We're talking about wizards and orcs here. If you're looking for literary value in any mainstream fantasy novel, you're barking up the wrong tree. The only fantasy novel I've seen with any depth in it since Tolkien was Tad William's Memory, Thorn and Sorrow. The rest is all fluff. Sure, enjoyable fluff, but still the mental equivalent of an enema.
Um, sorrow about the drift.
