This morning I was working on a completely different thing, but certain "recent events" in the Dark Tower novel I was listening to literally forced me to set that aside and bring out a fresh sheet of paper.
I'm not using the usual template here, mostly because I'm planning to edit it - I wanted to post it straight away, but the scansion is hardly brilliant ;) Likely I'll rescan it, and add it to my next post to
after_the_king. ;)
The scene does come from Book 7, but it's not really a spoilery one, hence the lack of warnings. :)

...I am not adding the paragraph that describes it, though, for fairly obvious reasons. :P It's right after a certain event, and right before another one. (Duh, of course.) Confusing enough? :P
Oh man, I owe such a debt of gratitude to
jou and
feels_like_fire! ;D Both for getting me into the series at all - and for being someone I can literally squee at. ;D Oh, what a sad munchkin I would have been, if I'd got to it on my own (...all right, fairly unlikely) and I hadn't had anyone to share the love with! ♥
(Oh, and. For the more spoilery comments? Maybe here would be better. :P I just don't want to spoil anyone, you know? :) )

And believe it or not, I owe you and
Seriously. You are among the best squee-friends I've ever had. How lucky am I?? (Also my safety net for when I stoop emailing people and get around to watching more Torchwood. ;D )

on 2008-06-11 11:12 am (UTC)You can count on it! Actually, I'd like to add a couple more to the bunch. I'd like to make happen even just one of them before next week. ;P
Hehehe! I really am glad we are together now! *g* JUST LIKE A BIG HAPPY FAMILY. Or a ka-tet. THE KA-TET OF THE KA-MAI
LS. ...or some name cooler than that. ...and haha, if you put it that way, WE REALLY HAVE RUN TO EACH OTHER'S RESCUE EVER SINCE THE BEGINNING. :D And do I need to reiterate how much I LOVE SQUEEING WITH YOU? Honestly, you make each fandom better. :O...and you'll find that the Torchwood safety-net is quite wide and made of several squee-liking fans! ;D

on 2008-06-11 10:05 am (UTC)Of course! ♥ Basically, it's the story of a quest - I tried to think of a way to put it, but since I suck at summaries, here's the one provided by wikipedia:
...which doesn't really touch the most relevant points, after all. ;) Let's be clear, the series has his flaws - a slow start (the first book isn't bad per se, but not particularly exhalting either - though that changes radically with the first pages of the second book. ♥) for one, and some things here and there that made me laugh and go "oh, come on". And even with that, they are still some of the books (and some of the characters) that have engaged and touched me the most. :D
...in short: give it a try, because it's worth it. ;)

on 2008-06-11 02:03 pm (UTC)ETA: I checked on the official site, where there's a section just about such connections - The Talisman isn't mentioned, but King & Staub's Black House (http://www.amazon.com/Black-House-Stephen-King/dp/0375504397) is! :D Sadly, I don't know the slightest thing about either, so I can't really say much beyond that. ^^;

The Black house of the title was a very evil place which attracted children and brought them on the other side where they became slaves and had to make some huge ghastly machinery (I read it a long time ago and I'm not sure I remember it well). I believe they were kept in this tower, but I'm not sure it's the same.
