I'm not sure I'd want to see it if they butcher the story or the characters.<br /><br />And I totally agree with you about meeting like-minded fans. Just to know you're not alone in your addiction (or obsession, as some people prefer to say <g>), to be able to talk to people who understand....that's so important, especially for people who are just discovering the books and maybe feeling a bit overwhelmed by it all. Can't tell you how many times I've told new people on Compuserve, "You're in good company here. Many of us, including me, are just as addicted as you are."<br /><br />KarenKaren Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07635855088490793965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-59997378902473270972011-04-22T19:00:41.648-04:002011-04-22T19:00:41.648-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Karen Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07635855088490793965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-4056957986165995532011-04-22T18:54:04.555-04:002011-04-22T18:54:04.555-04:00Marsha:

Who else would they turn to to represent the fans?? I can't think of anyone better! <br /><br />How do I sum up why I love the books as much as I do? In a nutshell I'd say that it's because of the characters. Diana does such a wonderful job of making them REAL. They are humorous, complicated, relatable - everything you could ask for in regard to character development. Most of the OL fans I've talked to are on the fence about a movie/miniseries adaptation, simply because it would be impossible for all of Diana's incredible details to be translated to the screen.<br /><br />And why do I like participating in OL fandom like this site or MOP chats?? It's so great to meet other like-minded individuals who love this series as much as I do! Whether we're breaking down a scene, discussing our dream cast, or learning more about real sights and events from the series - I just love all of my new OL fan friends! <br />~LJGPCarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418344673253711176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-23241928484211824242011-04-22T10:04:27.650-04:002011-04-22T10:04:27.650-04:00Hi, I'm new to your blog.

I am totally hooked, and a bit relieved to find that there is such a fan universe out there. Thanks for your wonderful blog. Personally, I find the characters so well wrought, especially how their senses of humor match, that makes their chemistry palpable. You just feel it. I'm dying for anything more to read of them. And I never want it to end!!Marshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05971182230622119376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-2437200581612952802011-04-21T22:34:37.140-04:002011-04-21T22:34:37.140-04:00How Cool!

I think she's terrific.<br /><br />Diana is working on Book 8, and also LORD JOHN AND THE SCOTTISH PRISONER, anovel told half from Lord John's point of view and half from Jamie's. She hopes to finish SCOTTISH PRISONER in the next couple of months, with a release date sometime in the fall of 2011.<br /><br />KarenKaren Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07635855088490793965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-41470820856531605702011-04-21T19:19:38.939-04:002011-04-21T19:19:38.939-04:00That's awesome, Karen!

Personally, I have listened to all of them (for years I was determined not to be a fan.... stupid me) and Davina Porter's impeccable voice characterizations are what keep me enthralled. Is Diana coming out with anymore in the series?JL Santeusaniohttp://www.mqxshow.comnoreply@blogger.com
