The LOV Newsletter
July, 1996
Issue 4
Please forgive my lack of interest in the LOV Vampire News. Since the RW gathering in Vegas, when my husband was once again off on the crusades, I had lost a lot of interest in both INN and LOV. the marriage between Starlord and myself was annulled on April 4, 1996. Starlord has disappeared and as far as I know will not return to me, so I must go on with my life and I can not do that being married to a ghost. I hope you all will forgive me for this. On a happier note, Starlord and I did have a baby daughter, StarMaid, who will soon be old enough to join her fellow LOV members.
We have lost many members of LOV, I honestly do not know how many are still on-line. Sending out this newsletter will at least help me to clear out mailboxes that are no longer valid. I will compile a list of any and all members that are still on-line, or at least those whose mailboxes are still valid.
The LOV Guild has expanded into The Realm, and we have inducted a few new members there. The INN LOV members currently in The Realm are McGavin, MerlCat, Draqla, LadyLeath, Crazy and myself. Also Enkidu has been known to pop in occasionally. If there are any that I have missed, blame McGavin for not keeping me informed. ; pppppp (j/k).
McGavin and MerlCat have been promoted to Prince and Princess d'LOV on The Realm; Terry will remain Prince on INN when he returns from his off-line business responsibilities sometime in August. Should Terry be able to get on-line in The Realm, he shall remain Prince there also. The same goes for all INN LOV members that happen to make the crossover into The Realm, you will all retain your present ranks.
Member Information: We are pleased to announce the following promotions:
Dazzler - Court Advisor; LadyKate - Ambassador; Drogliod - Sorcerer; Magius - Enchanter; Ardimus II - Royal Guard; Kreikoff - Body Guard; Caramon - Destructor; Lancelot - Guardian; Brynnsong - Lanceman; Hart0Gold - Priestess; Silverleaf - Patriarch; Miroc - Evoker; Nyala - Sprite; and Wildfire - Viking.
Welcome to new INN members: Alexander, Heart, Kain, Tracy and Lysear.
Members who have returned to LOV and returned to their previous ranks: Terry - INN Prince; Athos - Court Advisor; Ammon - Master Ranger
And of course, welcome to the new LOV members on The Realm: Draqla, Foodog (aka SPAM), Menoch, Pamela, Ravin and Shalafi.
McGavin has been busy creating a LOV Web page. The address for it is: www.ntrek.com/~dmg9987/lov.htm and it also has links to McGavin's and MerlCat's home page; the LOV members listing that includes mailboxes and/or internet addresses, and also links to The Realm and Harper's Tale. Check them all out, McGavin has worked hard on these pages. If you have trouble downloading or running The Realm, write to McGavin through his home page. He has offered his help to any that require it.
LOV Real World Gathering: The LOV Gathering in Las Vegas turned out a less than anticipated crowd. Only 3 LOV members managed to arrive: Drogliod (with his RW Wife, Mary), Ardimus II, and MaidMarie. Poor Ardimus took proper car eof this Queen and escorted her all over the city, even to the point of blowing out his knee. Please forgive me Ardie! Also, Tamarisk made a surprise appearance.
Former LOV members McTish and Kamianna decided not to get married in Vegas and they got married a few weeks before the scheduled gathering.
The LOV Gathering in Cleveland is still on, scheduled for August 16th - 18th, but we are planning things for earlier in the week in case some of you might want to stay longer. Some of the things being planned are as follows:

Also, please watch your mailboxes for an invitation to the LOV Family Reunion to be held in Ranger Retreat in the near future.
INN LOV: Crazy and HeadCase finally tied the knot on April 5th, in a very unusual and sensual wedding ceremony performed by Sephrenia. The ceremony included glistening naked bodies, a golden dagger and a rope. If you notice their EPI's, the Honeymoon is certainly NOT over where this couple is concerned. This was one wedding I am glad I was able to "attend".
Speaking of weddings... is it true Magius has finally decided to settle down? Look in your mailboxes for the invitation uniting Magius and Tamarisk in holy (or in the groom's case, unholy) matrimony.
RW LOV: The Real world wedding of MerlCat and McGavin is rapidly approaching! Only 2 weeks to go for this happy occasion. We LOVe you both and wish you much happiness.
Special Dates: Birthday wishes go out to the following members:
Starlord, July 18th
Tamarisk, July 18th
Let us know your birthday, or special anniversary date.

INN Games: As some of you may know, we are now sharing our INN host with the TDB and DRE Guilds. Every Saturday night at 10:00 p.m. EST, DRE hosts a Test of Honor (TOH), which pits Rangers against other Rangers and also against Wizards, Warriors, etc. This Test of Honor quizzes your skill and knowledge of the 'cano. This is a fun time for all, please try to stop by and check it out.
Romantic Corner:
Tamarisk:
Your eyes are like rubies,
Your breath is sweeter than morning spring air,
Your beauty can't be matched
Your hands hold my heart
And your touch is so tender.
