Happy Hobbit Birthday, MWT!

Dear Megan,

After giving you our best birthday wishes, we thought we'd mix it up a little. In honor of the upcoming debut of The Hobbit movie (no, not that one), we thought we'd celebrate your birthday hobbit-style.

As it says in The Fellowship of the Ring:
[Bilbo] gave away presents to all and sundry--the latter were those who went out again by a back way and came in again by the gate. Hobbits give presents to other people on their birthdays. Not very expensive ones, as a rule, and not so lavishly as on this occasion; but it was not a bad system. Actually in Hobbiton and Bywater every day in the year it was somebody's birthday, so that every hobbit in those parts had a fair chance of at least one present at least once a week. But they never got tired of them.


In this spirit, we'd like to ask for just little things, namely, details we'd like to see in the next book. Nothing huge or spoilery, just fun. So come out, you little furry-footed Sounisians, and make your requests known! And don't worry about sneaking out through the back way--we have a revolving gate. :-)


After all, it's her birthday, my loves, and we wants it.

Ahaha, aren't you the tricky one, Jade!! Well, I want to know if we'll ever get to see and little Gens and Irenes running around - I'd even take little Helens and Sophoses!

Happy Birthday, Megan!

Jade, this is the most brilliant (and hilarious) idea for a post ever.

Personally, I would like to see Gen and an Oliphaunt. ;)

I'd just like to know who the narrator will be.

Also, I love seeing Gen interact with his father and cousins. More family bonding, please!

Happy birthday, MWT!

I want to see.... *drumrolls please*

More boys' nights out. =P

Kidding!

Or maybe not.

Okay, don't mean to sound like a broken record here (since I've said this a couple of times before) but I really want to see Attolia/MoW bonding scene. Or at least being friendly with each other. Talking about how Gen's a pain in the neck.

ELEPHANTS.

And hopefully I get my wish.

Also, Gen in good health. *frets*

Sophos' sisters, please! Preferably them meeting Costis. Or maybe one of them meeting Costis and then falling in luuuv.

I want Gen to pick someone's pocket. And I want to see it.

Preferably, the Mede ambassador's.

Well...

I've already said that I want Oliphaunts. And so has everybody else, so....

The Magus got a bath in the last one, so maybe NAHUSERFISH will get a SHAVE in the next one!
;-D

Happy birthday! Many happy returns! (a saying I've never quite puzzled out but is a very Pooh-Bear thing to say, so I'm saying it.)

IRENE. Irene-and-Gen. Delicious and snarky and oh-so-romantic-and-terrifying.

It's hard to survive on just a few crumbs when each of those crumbs hints at the banquet unseen!!!!!

Happy Birthday !

What I want to see is in the next book is more family bonding, more Sophos/Gen moments...and Sophos and Costis.

More Gen and Eddis moments :)

More Gen/Attolia <3

When the next book will be out.

I'm certain this is the type of post that terrifies MWT the most. AUTHOR INCEPTION.

I'd like to see Costis again. There was a Costis-shaped hole in my heart after reading ACoK. (I know, I know... before that we were like, "WE WANT TO SEE SOPHOS, SO GIMME GIMME!" Please try to keep up with our demands.)

And I'm really consumed with the idea of someone stealing something from Gen. I'm not sure why. Or how exactly. I just love it when the tables are turned.

Not that I think it's going to be in the next book, or should be; but based on what I've been reading lately, I would be vastly amused to see Gen, and Lymond, and Miles Vorkosigan, and the Duke of Avon plotting, either against each other or with the same goal.
