Eddis, Attolia, Sounis

*blinks* My email? I got nothing. *looks under old emails* Nope.

The suspense is killing me. What are we meant to be looking for?

From:

!!!

*hunts frantically*

Still nothing I'm afraid. I'll let you know if anything happens. It could just be yahoo being its usual sucky self.

From:

Gah! Answers to the questions! (If I'm not careful, I'm going to wear out the exclamation mark on my keyboard.)

I have somewhere I have to go right now. I'll post it when I get home if you haven't gotten it by then.

From:

Deal. :) Have fun.

From:

AHHH! My email has nothing!

*runs around frantically*

From:

I got it!! Will read, and post all of the answers first thing tomorrow for everyone who didn't get it, I promise. They will be there when you wake up. I'm afraid I can't do it before then because history homework must be done and I've forced myself to stop reading at question thirteen. No more until I finish evaluating Henry VII's foreign policy.

*sighs*

From:

So exciting!

But yes, history homework is very important. Or so they say...

From:

:) I read another question. Bad Rowana.

Mind you, if anyone here has ever studied early modern history and can give me a hand...I'm struck by the similarities between medieval foreign policy and Gen's. Political marriages, ridiculous quests, a few loonies, arrogant foreigners, idealistic soldiers, maimed Kings, some Netherlands and few more silly bastards. The similarities are astounding.

Chapter One...the establishment of a dynasty. :) Another possible similarity?

email? n.n

Don't know if you meant me as well, but I have nothing.... ^^;;;;

From:

It'll be up tomorrow. :)

ooookaaaaay... XD

From:

:) Yes. Sorry about the delay.

From:

Psht. Not me. Study and get to bed, young lady. It's midnight there!

there would be a reason for that. . .

Megan

From:

Not quite. 11:30. :) I'm procrastinating again. Need coffee. Students don't sleep in England.

From:

!!!

Sounds like Megan would be the perfect person to help you with your history, Ro. :)

From:

*blinks* It's too late for exclamation marks. :)

Actually, medieval history does give a different way of looking at the type of politics represented in the books. I'm studying the issues of security on the throne, and how this is affected by marriage, and parliament's confirmation, and the means of gaining the throne at the moment. All very relevant and interesting. It certainly gives a better understanding of the extent to which, and excatly why the Attolian's don't trust him.

I also came across the fact that people involved in political marriages rarely travelled back to their home countries, as they were considered from then on to be devoid of most previous ties. Poor Gen, if this is the case.

Bizarre isn't it? Poor Anne of Cleves, stuck in England forever, wasn't she?

Megan

From:

Bizarre is a very good word. :) Anne of Cleaves managed to get out with an Anullment, Catherine Of Aragon had it pretty bad. Margaret Tudor's younger sister had the right idea, running back to England and eloping as soon as possible.

And I never realised the Eddisian's would have highland accents, but I feel that I should have because 'you silly bastard' sounds perfect in a Scottish accent.

From:

Students don't sleep in England.

I'm starting to realize that's true of students everywhere.

From:

Where is

fabricalchemist?

Somebody please clue in the last-person-on-earth-to-catch-on-to-things exactly what has happened. An email of some sort has been sent to various group members, someone named Megan is posting here, and

fabricalchemist is missing? Seriously, what is going *on*?

Danny, who feels out of the loop

From:

Don't worry, danny. The Megan who is posting is our highly esteemed author, Megan Whalen Turner. The email in question contains her answers to our questions. And yes, fabricalchemist has been missing as of late.

From:

dannybailey.livejournal.com

Oh, you're a doll. I've been refreshing my browser about 20 times a minute just waiting for someone to reply. (So pathetic!)

How exciting though, I can't wait to see this email!

From:

Hahaha. It sounds like a really bad show on Fox, doesn't it. Oh wait, that would be EVERY show on Fox.

Ok. Those of us that MWT had email addresses for received answers to our group's questions for

rowana to post. Being in England, she didn't receive them until very late, and she had to *rolls eyes* study then go to bed, but she will post them as soon as she gets up.

AND...yes, someone named Megan is posting with us for a while. And, conveniently, she knows quite a bit about early modern history.

!!!

And,

fabricalchemist isn't really missing. Is she?

From:

dannybailey.livejournal.com

Yes, Fox...very bad shows...*shifty eyes*

Thanks for taking pity, I was going crazy with the excitement wondering what it could be. Now that I know what's happeneing I'm just as excited, but not nearly so frantic. (I'm also medicated now, so perhaps that's why I'm so chill.)

By the way, hello Megan, if you're still here. It's positively lovely to meet you and I do hope you stick around. I've no doubt you prescence will be every bit as stimulating as your wonderful books. Perhaps if you get a livejournal of your own, you'd friend me? I would be honored to friend you back. :)

My hands are moving a bit sluggishly now, which is my cue to go to bed. Please everyone have a wonderful night, and I hope that we will all wake up to very exciting posts in the morning. :) Love and such, Danny.

From:

*seconds this question*

From:

Good point. :) At least I managed to get the work done and get to bed by 2.am. The one mistake was then skipping half of the History tutorial in which my essay was due this morning in order to post the email.

*sighs*

From:

Hey, you can't do it all. At least you finished the homework, I love the feeling of release that comes with finishing a big project, even if I am horribly late for the class.

And thanks again,

rowana, for your hard work.

From:

*seconds that feeling* *hugs for finishing homework*

Rawr. The Bear is here, yo. Life is quite the adventure recently. I'm disguising myself as a gymnastic panda to infiltrate other courts ;D

From:

*blushes* Don't thank me, I've done nothing but actually study for once.

:) *hugs back*

From:

What a relief! You had us worried for a while there, Bear.

Especially with the arrival of such a ground breaking post.

Hi, I'm new here, and perhaps I'm being a bit thick but I can't find where these answers were posted. Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks. :)

From:

Hello, and welcome!

We made an agreement with Megan that the answers would be posted for only a month or so, then taken down. Most of the things she said, though, have been repeated here and there in other threads. Plus, there were lots of "not tellings." :)

Oh I see. That's cool - just glad I wasn't missing something really obvious, lol.
