SNORK. Everyone is too terrified to post. Well, *I* know all the answers. Smile

To life, generally? Smile

We've had a respectable number of entries already.

Or maybe everyone is so busy trying to do the crossword they don't have time to post? Wink

Crossword is printing even as we speak--er, post. Yay crosswords! I am making blocking boards with checked fabrics, so I'm already immersed in grids! Smile

hey... I'm just excited to DO something about all this LONDON excitement from the far western coast of the Americas. At least a crossword makes me think a minute about great books. Nothing like dressing up to harass the hellgoddess in person to sign multiple books (even if it means purchasing additional volumes of Pegasus - can you have too many?!)

I did spend a good part of last night using Paint to put letters in the crossword, since another printer has bitten the dust. It's a good thing no one has to see how poorly aligned the poor letters are.... (That's in addition to tracking down answers in the first place. I seem to have known very few by heart, especially if correct spelling is necessary.)

I found that extremely fun. A quick jaunt back into some very enjoyable books. And to think I'd been disappointed I didn't remember all the answers straight off. Smile

(Spelling never WAS my strong suit.

Done! I was so excited - I knew all the Chalice answers, but I used the posted excerpts to get the rest of them. I hope I win a copy!

(also, I am about to read Chalice again for the millionth time because I loved reading the little bit required to get the answers)

Okay... I'm doing this crossword for fun because I haven't read Pegasus yet and it would take me awhile to read.* Plus I'd have to reread Sunshine too. It's a crossword I know I can do.**

* It's on the list to be read.
** I'm more of a word and number search person.

Am I crazy if listen to the voices in my little world? :D

Mine's in! It was a lot of fun. I felt very good about myself when I knew several of the SUNSHINE and CHALICE ones straight off. Though it was a SUNSHINE one that had me hunting up and down and through the excerpt about six times. BUT I GOT IT.
