I'm writing this to combine two obsessions, my fave anime (Slayers, heh, what else) and Mercedes Lackey (all hail the Gryphon-Writer!). I chose Winds of Change, the second of the Mage Winds Trillogy, well, because that's the only on in that series I bought so far (and if I get the others from the library I'll have to pay a LARGE fee). I'm keeping the locations as in the book. If everyone likes this I'll do the first and third books as well and maybe even do a fusion of the sequel trillogy, the Mage Storms. Now, I'm not sure yet how true to the book I'm gonna keep this, but keep in mind, Lackey may not be a romance writer, but she does have some steamy scenes in her books, so there may be a little lemon scene eventualy.
