The Wind's Road - Announcement

[rosiphelee]

I've been studying the LiveJournal FAQs this weekend and I think I've worked out how to put together a filtered friends group. This means I can set it up so only those who want to read see Wind's Road updates, thus saving Joelle and everyone else from being spammed with chapters. So, I need to know who wants to be in that group. Comment and tell me, please.

For those who don't know what I'm talking about or missed the opening chapters when they were briefly up on Elfy there's a picture and a blurb under the cut. This is my magnum opus at the moment so, while I'm ready to welcome anyone onboard, I rather want to know who's reading. Please don't feel that being on the list obliges you to comment - it's just a way of controlling access.





Her mother had wanted to return to the sea. It was all she cared about, at the end. Every time she had woken she had begged Dhara to let her go, to take her back to the shore. “Take me home to the grey kindred,” she had said, over and over. “Let me go back to my people. Set me free.” Other times she had been bright with rage, screaming until exhaustion took her, “Let me go. Let me go. Give it back. It’s mine. Mine, mine, mine.”

Even yesterday, she had muttered it, as the pale sunlight fell on her face.


In a world ravaged by the Bane, a cruel magic which mutates both the land and those who dwell in it, the True People wander between the collapsing cities, living on the edges of a society in crisis. When her mother dies, Dharany, a child of the True People, sets out to fulfill her last wish and make her way to the sea. Together with Zenrael, a shaman of the exiled Tírial people, the mapmaker Anjali and the mysterious Istellon, she begins the journey downriver, through the Banelands to the sea....

Please!

*grins* I rather assumed you, Becca and Alyssa would all want to play. This is more to make sure any lurkers don't get cut off.

You bet! Good assumption! *runs off to uni*

*adds you to the list*

[waves hand in the air] I'm very behind, and probably will stay behind until I'm moved in and all, but I'd like to know how far behind I am. Until I'm not. Um. Please.

Okay. I wasn't sure if you were still following it.

No rush to catch up. It's not going anywhere (and I haven't updated since June so there's not that much to catch up with)

Thanks.

Mmm... ahhh... *fingers twitch* I so want to start reading it, but I'm already behind on my reading and don't have much free time. I'm averaging a chapter a week on the book I'm currently reading (I used to read at least 3-5 chapters per day).

If it's still around when winter break comes, mind if I take a peek at it then?

No problem. If I keep you on the list you can look whenever you get a chance. It's not moving very fast so it'll definitely still be in the early stages come Christmas.

Me, me, me, me, me.

[rosiphelee.livejournal.com]

Is that a yes, then?

I rather assumed you would want to be included, seeing as it's your birthday story.
