Blather, rinse, repeat

Well I'll tell ya, I re-read them all a couple of years ago and I am still not over Raistlin. :) I kind of read them with different eyes and found some really draggy and annoying parts that I hadn't noticed too much the first time. But one thing I can say about Margaret Weiss is that, even though Raistlin is clearly Author's Pet, she had absolutely no problem making him morally bankrupt and occasionally despicable - yet she managed to keep him appealing.

Did I ever tell you that I cosplayed Raistlin once, many years ago? Gold skin, hour-glass eyes, wig and all? It was kind of amazing, the reactions I got. ;) (Not so amazing was the reaction I got from the guy I was seeing, who, in fact, had turned me onto Dragonlance. When he found out I was going to go to the Ren-fest dressed as a man, he refused to go with me, for fear of being thought gay. Yeah, that didn't last.)
