Net Jordanites

Seasons turn, newbies come and go, leaving postings that become legend. Legend fades to FAQ. In a FAQ called the June FAQ, a FAQ yet to come, a FAQ long past, a posting stirred. This is the story of rec.arts.sf.written.robert-jordan, of those women and men that dare to post what no one dared to post before ... (oops, wrong universe)

The Creator and his Wife

Robert Jordan Harriet Jordan

Here are pictures taken at the Darkfriend socials in DC (24 September 1994 and November 1994), and the signings in Chicago and Atlanta. Click on the images to see larger version (and additional information).

There's a modified version of the Atlanta picture, too.

And now for the portraits.

A picture of FAQueen Pam Korda . Viren Shah Judy "Mesaana" Ghirardelli,
Judy Sedai and her Warder Tom, and her fearful shadow: .
Mark Looi. Emmet O'Brien clearly states his favourite colour. And here's a picture of myself, Helmut Geyer
As you can easily see, Bill "Fain" Garrett has some similarity to Ba'alzamon (cf. Cover of The Dragon Reborn). Another argument for the discussion Fain = DO reborn? Well, I don't know.

Finally, the latest addition to the Jordanites page is the picture of the Ancestral DarkFriends

Some technical remarks

This page and that referenced in it may contain (at least will, one day) a lot of pictures. This may cause large delays when loading this page and will clobber the net when loaded more often than necessary. There are several ways to cope with this:

If you are using Mosaic, you can choose the option Delay Images. Other WWW clients should have similar options. This is very helpful, when you just want to see whether there are new faces to look at or when you want to look at single images only. This is, however, not the best way to do this.
As the images won't change too often (usually only new ones will be added) I would suggest that you ask your local WWW guru whether there is a proxy caching http server near your site. This will speed up loading the images and will spare net resources. For more information on proxy servers (anyone who is running a UN*Xoid OS should run one right on the system) look at the documentation for the CERN httpd (which at the moment beats the NCSA httpd) or contact me.
