Possibly--if one allows that it's not always the woman who wears the lace or the man who bears the blade.

But of coisse! :-)
Lace & Blade is definitely women kicking ass -- but with flair -- and men wearing lace and looking great while they duel, demolish, conquer and charm with their rapier wit as much as with actual rapiers.
Sounds like a dream to me.

Or like a Pitch-Black Books Icon. Quill is his name, I believe.
LOL
We've got the color Icons from Storn now and a new B&W sketch and they look awesome. I'll see about getting the new B&W illo posted up, it has a bit more detail.
Meanwhile, Vera, I hope you will be ready to submit something to LoS 2 when the invitations go out (very soon).

Dan,
I certainly plan on doing a story for LoS 2, and also expect to try my hand at Quill (and possibly Quen) in that story. :-) I am thinking of Tanith Lee's Cyrion as a bit of inspiration for Quill -- but of course he will be a unique character with his own memorable details.
*examining the icons now*
It would be great to see the larger versions and the color versions.
:-)

Not sure if pathetic is the right word, but standing alone is not a happy place to be.
Curious, why did the mention of Lois Tilton made you stop reading? Her mention really had nothing to do with what I said, only a tiny tangental aside.

Sorry Vera. Nothing personal. It was a 'Pavlov's Dog' reaction to the name. I wrote it in the heat of the moment and I apologize. The 'Lace and Blade' moniker is rather cool. [:)]

| Posted 7/24/2005 5:33 AM (GMT -4) | | If NEW EDGE means S&S or fantasy with some guts and balls, yeah, that is a good thing.
Put the sword back into S&S...root around around a while while yer at it. It ain't supposed to be so clean, pristine and whatever it is that makes me wretch these days.
Gimme a good story. Gimme some realism.

Thanks. It is linked on the main page, but not very obviously, I suppose.
Top left-hand corner says "new contest" in red letters. I'm not webmaster for the PB site, but I'll shoot an email over to Pitch and see if he can get something a little more visible put into place.
We should have some major website updates (a complete reconfiguration) ready to launch in a matter of days. We'll be sure to include a visible link to the contest, there's also one at www.swordandsorcery.org.
Thanks for your interest!
Daniel
