Anyone local have a copy of any of the following that I can borrow for the next couple of weeks (for writing my paper)?:

The Stone Fey [Thanks, [livejournal.com profile] faeriemusicsmom!]
Deerskin [Thanks, [livejournal.com profile] haddayr!]
Sunshine [Thanks, [livejournal.com profile] naomikritzer]

All by Robin McKinley. Thanks. Note: the paper is being presented 11/17/07, so I need to write it mostly next weekend.

I believe I have both Deerskin and Sunshine. You'd be welcome to borrow them.

Thank you! I'll email you about possibly picking them up tomorrow night (have to work late tonight).

I read Deerskin last year, and I just read Sunshine last month. Both are absolutely extraordinary! I'll have to see if my library has The Stone Fey.

And the "heart of stone" motif is very prominent in Peter Straub's "Ashputtle," a very dark revision of the Cinderella story. If you're interested, I can get you a copy when I return home for Thanksgiving.

Great suggestion; I'll have to see if I can find "Ashputtle" (is that a short story or novel or . . .?) As for the others, I'm getting Sunshine and Deerskin from [livejournal.com profile] naomikritzer so I just need to find The Stone Fey. I'm tight on time since the paper's being presented November 17, so I'll have to find a copy some other way before then.

It's a short story. Best of luck!

Gah! I do not have Deerskin. I do have Sunshine and you're welcome to borrow it. I wonder what I did with Deerskin?

Also, I may be able to drop it by on Wednesday; I pass very near your house on my way to/from my daughter's preschool.

If I were local, I'd loan you both of the books. However, I'm in Michigan, so I can't really get them to you in time.

I don't know if this will help some of your local readers or not, but "The Stone Fey" is collected in McKinley's "Imaginary Lands" anthology. Sadly, that one is also hard to find.

I'll be presenting at the conference as well--also on McKinley. I'm taking a different path, though, as I'm focusing on imperialism in the Damar fiction.

I had Deerskin until recently. I mean, I still might have it. I will check tonight.

I DO have it; I've set it aside. I live in Powderhorn Park; you want to email me and we'll make arrangements? haddayr@gmail.com

I'm not local, but I do have Imaginary Lands, with The Stone Fey in it, and it is a short story, and I have a scanner--so if you're desperate, let me know and I can e-mail it to you. If you think Robin McKinley won't mind the copyright violation.

Oh, that would be FANTASTIC if you could scan it and send it to me! Really, I would be ever so grateful. I haven't been able to find a copy elsewhere, and it looks like the most on-point McKinley story. If you could scan it, please send it to me at my Livejournal email address. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Have you tried to send it to me yet? Because if you have, I haven't received it. I'm getting quite tight on time now. Could you possibly send it tomorrow, if you haven't yet?

Hopefully,
Peg

Oh dear--yes, I did send it, or at least tried to. Did you get my first e-mail at your livejournal e-mail address? I sent an inquiry first, then the scans in two messages, so as not to be too big. Let me know if you got any messages at all.

No, I'm afraid I didn't get any of them. Did you use pegkerr at livejournal dot com ?

Yes, I did. Hm, do you have another e-mail address you'd be willing to give me here? Or I could give you a gmail address--if you then e-mail me, I should be able to reply.

I have Deerskin. I'm in Eagan, but it's a quick trip to rendezvous in the Twin Cities someplace.

It turns out that [livejournal.com profile] haddayr has it, and she lives quite close to me, so I will borrow it from her. But thank you for being willing to help!
