Subject: Welcome to the AUGUST POLL

Before we give you this month's poll, here are the results of the July Poll, which we found quite surprising!

A) 14

B) 13

We always thought most people really hated the thought of Jamie time travelling.

This month's poll is a wee bit different. We are not going to give you any choices. So, here it is:

What story line are you most anxiously waiting to have wind up? Also, how would you like it to end?

Have fun! The poll will close in 7 days.

[> Question #1: Am not sure at the moment. Question #2: I don't want it to end!!! -- Piper Mom, 11:38:49 08/11/08 Mon

[> [> Oh yeah... let's get rid of Leghair!! Well, we don't have to kill her off... just get her out of Jamie and Claire's life! -- Piper Mom, 07:39:57 08/12/08 Tue

[> I want to see Leghair out of Jamie's life. She could remarry or disappear -- doesn't matter to me. -- LizT, 11:44:14 08/11/08 Mon

[> [> Actually, she could show up in New Bern. Marsali may have Fergus send for her mother or circumstance may have her emmigrate with Joan and family or with a new husband. That would be interesting. -- kgp, 13:07:09 08/11/08 Mon

[> My first story line I would like to see wind up is the story of BJR…I want to know what happened to him at Culloden and what happened between him and Jamie at Culloden. I would also like to know what happened to him in general, if anything, that made him the sadistic pervert he was. Who was the infamous “Alex” he was referring to while he was abusing Jamie. I would like to see Mary Hawkins come about again in the new world and share a story how BJR confided/confessed to her everything/anything that ever happened to him to that resulted in how he came about as he did. -- Chriselda, 12:03:08 08/11/08 Mon


[ Edit | View ]




[> [> Chriselda...I agree. I hope the "who killed BJR" saga is resolved, and in book *7* not book 8. I'm tired and I want to know the truth. I hope it was Jamie and I hope it hurt very much. -- Tess, 17:53:37 08/11/08 Mon

[> My other storyline I would like summed up would be LOAGHAIRE’S story. I would like to find out also what happened to her to make her the way she was. What happened in her previous marriages? Why did she even marry Jamie in the first place? Why was she the way she was in her marriage to Jamie? Why does she so desperately still want to make Jamie’s life so miserable even knowing that Claire is back and Jamie wants nothing to do with Loaghaire? I would like to see Loaghaire make a play for Jamie’s affections again and for Claire to see this and say…”HE IS MINE!!!” and for Jamie to respond….” AS SHE IS MINE” (referencing Claire of course)….and for Loaghaire to finally die. I know I know I am probably being too harsh but I don’t like her, I want to her to suffer. This will most likely not happen, but there is always hope. -- Chriselda, 12:04:14 08/11/08 Mon


[ Edit | View ]








[> My last story line to sum up would be Frank Randall….why did he leave the tombstone of Jamie’s name in Scotland? Why oh why? I want there to a letter to Claire that was never meant to be found…something Frank didn’t finish and have it explain why he left that tombstone. I want to know that he loved only Claire and he wanted to make her happy even when he was dead and gone. Sorry about the multiple postings, I couldn't help myself. -- Chriselda, 12:05:56 08/11/08 Mon


[ Edit | View ]








[> Ditto on the Leghair story, and I don't want it all to end either! (And if it HAS to, I want the story to somehow loop back to the beginning.) ;o) -- LindaT, 12:28:39 08/11/08 Mon

[> I would like to see the family reunited…At the end of ABOSAA everyone seemed so scattered, Brea and Roger gone back to their own time, Jamie and Claire losing their home and friends that I thought of as family (Bugs), Jocasta and Innes gone to Canada, Fergus and Marsali gone to city, etc. -- Mitzi, 13:00:09 08/11/08 Mon


[ Edit | View ]








[> I want to know about Jamie's ghost in the begining of O. Does Claire ever remember and realize it was Jamie? Does Frank? How could they not? What does it mean that he was there looking at her, sad and alone, a troubled spirit like Cathy in Wuthering Heights? -- susiej, 13:04:43 08/11/08 Mon

[> [> I think he is drawn to her and her to him. A love that we will wait for DG to explain, but she goes to him and he loves her always....for then to forever!!!! I have always believed that she went to him because he drew her to him, etc....don't quite know how it happened but it did??? -- Mitzi, 20:43:39 08/11/08 Mon

[> Ditto to all of the above, and... I want to see more of William and Lord John and how they will interact with J and C. I would really love for Wm to find out about Jamie and for their to be some relationship there. Also, I want Jenny and Ian to find out about Claire and the time travel. I want to see how DG will somehow keep Briana and Roger connected with J and C - mind travel? It is so fun to speculate - thanks. -- Lady JenF, 13:09:19 08/11/08 Mon


[ Edit | View ]








[> As for a particular story line, there are so many that I can hardly choose between them…I would like Jamie to find the gold that Arch hid on his land and keep it, I want William to find out Jamie is his father and be happy about it, I want to know what Frank found out about Jamie and Claire/Brea going back in time, I want Roger to sing again, I want Ian to find true love, and most important I want Jamie and Claire to live forever! -- Mitzi, 13:16:55 08/11/08 Mon

[> [> Shot, think I hit the wrong button AGAIN. As I was saying, I want to see Bree, Roger, Jame, Claire, et. al. reunited in the 18th cent., because I just can't see Jamie in the 20th century. I'd like for Claire to remember about the ghost. I'd like William and Jamie to have a father-son relationship. Like loving. I'd like to know more about what Claire told Frank when she returned. I'd like Lord John to find the love of his life and for Claire to be able to accept him more so. I'd like to know more about Raymond. And so much more. (NT) -- AnneJ, 18:43:00 08/11/08 Mon

[> I want to see what happens to Fraser's Ridge. J & C left but he still OWNS it. I want to see Ian fall happily in love. I want to see more of Bree/Roger & Fergus/Marsali & their kids. Following all of them the series could go on & on & on. -- Ruthlass, 19:53:01 08/11/08 Mon


[ Edit | View ]








[> I want to see how DG keeps Bree, Roger, and the kids as part of the story, when they're living in a completely different time frame. I just can't see Bree and Roger going back to the 18th Century... but, maybe the kids? -- Lynn H., 20:21:59 08/11/08 Mon

[> 1# Laoghaire & Claire's. I see them as a package deal, since Claire has never had the chance to confront Laoghaire about her murderous actions in 'Outlander', I am looking forward to that smack-down. I also want to know who Laoghaire's new fella is (poor schmuck!). 2# I don't want it to end, ever! But for the sake of this poll... I want a happy ending. And that, for me, is the whole family together again: Jamie, Claire, Brianna, Roger, Jem and Mandy. That's all I want. One big happy family. Is that so much to ask? -- Danielle, 20:24:17 08/11/08 Mon

[> [> I totally agree!! I want all the family together again . I hate that they are seperated!!! -- Mitzi, 20:36:19 08/11/08 Mon

[> I want to see the Bree and Roger storyline wrap up, as well as anything with William. I would love to see more focus on Jenny and Ian Sr., Jamie and Claire, Young Ian and Fergus and Marsali. The rest of the characters I could really care less about and have had enough of -- Kim L, 20:47:36 08/11/08 Mon


[ Edit | View ]




[> [> Oh, and I would also like to see the books end with Jamie and Claire being somewhere they can finally call home (either Scotland or the Ridge) and live the rest of their lives happy and without all the pressure they have known. It's also no secret that I'd like to see something happen between Roger and Bree so that he could find true love. -- Kim L, 20:53:07 08/11/08 Mon


[ Edit | View ]

[> [> Oh yeah. If there was one character I would really love to see get a happy ending, it's Young Ian. Poor kid has been through so much, he deserves a little tenderness. -- Danielle, 20:53:47 08/11/08 Mon


[ Edit | View ]





[> But what will Jenny say when she sees Ian for the 1st time with all his tatoos, etc.....Can't wait! -- Mitzi, 20:56:24 08/11/08 Mon


[ Edit | View ]




[> [> Oh if there is one character I love it is Ian, I just want so bad (in my gut) to have him involved with the love of his life (similiar to Jamie's/Claire's Love) that I can't quit squirming anticipating the new book ECHO!!! Got to love the possibilites??? -- Mitzi, 21:02:19 08/11/08 Mon

[> [> [> Maybe she will scream???? I hope so!! -- Mitzi, 21:06:14 08/11/08 Mon


[ Edit | View ]

[> [> [> Me too! I want very much for Ian to settle down with the love of his life... That being said, I hope the love of his life isn't the Mohawk Emily. I'm still wary of her for breaking his heart. Poor Ian. Between Malva (evil wench!) and Emily he hasn't had a lot of luck with the ladies. -- Danielle, 21:58:41 08/11/08 Mon

[> I want the whole story to end - a good writer must be able to end her/his story, how interesting it is! What I want to know, how the relationship between Jamie and Lord John go further; they are now on different sides of the war (.. Dear John.. too late..) - I keep on thinking, who kill whom, as happened between Major McDonald and Jamie. And how Will take the truth of his true paternity. (Lord Ellesmere giving the name, Lord John giving the education and Jamie giving the blood and outlook). Interesting! -- Margit, 22:26:57 08/11/08 Mon

[> Who was Laoghaire mmphing?? -- Lady Cate, 22:59:29 08/11/08 Mon

[> I would really like to story to end with Jamie and Claire settling back in Scotland, finally enjoying the peace and quiet that they so deserve, and having lots of time for each other. No more war, suffering and unrest. Therefore, the story line I want to see resolve is how they wind up their affairs in America and head back home. I don't think Diana has plans for them to go back to Scotland permanently for awhile but I really hope they do, they are getting on a bit and I really want to see them happy. -- Chrissylass, 03:27:39 08/12/08 Tue

[> I wish for Jamie and Claire to get off the ridge. They've had nothing but trouble since they got there. I hope Ian can find a nice lassie to settle with and maybe Jamie can get into the printing business with Fergus and Marsali. I hope that also they all get to see each other again at Lallybroch. -- Frances, 06:56:24 08/12/08 Tue

[> As others have said, I want to see Wee Ian find true love; I don't necessarily want Rog & Bree to TT back, so they'll find out from artifacts left by Reverend Wakefield (all the stuff left to Rog after Rev's death); I do want to see more of Philip Wylie; have a Leghair/Claire/Jamie/Jenny brawl; William learns all (but reality says he retains his title and doesn't recognize his biological paternity); what happens to the white sow....... I could go on and on. The ending? I'll trust Herself with that one. -- Merrymags, 07:07:12 08/12/08 Tue

[> Can I post a dozen times? I want so many! I really want to know if Frank Randall "found" Bree in the past. I want Ian to meet and marry the most wonderful woman in the world (I want an Ian "love story"). I'd like to know how/if William will ever find out Jamie is his bio-dad and how them (and Lord John) being on opposite sides of the War will play out. That last -- William/Jamie/theWar is what I'm hoping will be a big component of the next books -- navine, 11:48:07 08/12/08 Tue


[ Edit | View ]




[> [> Oops! Forgot to say how I'd like it to end. I want WIlliam to learn Jamie is his bio-father. I want William to come over to the American side of the Revolutionary War (improbable, I know ... but if anyone can make it happen and make it plausible, it's herself). I would never want or expect Lord John to -- and so, lots of conflict, drama, angst, & whatnot. -- navine, 12:28:44 08/12/08 Tue

[> I want to know if the "Raymond" that Wendigo and Otter Tooth referred to really is Claire's "Raymond" and see that whole issue dealt with. Also, I want to know more about that newspaper article that said J&C died in a fire....who told the paper about it? -- Barb J, 13:24:46 08/12/08 Tue


[ Edit | View ]








[> My big wish is for a settled peace for Jaime and Claire - no more running, worries about money, fighting, etc. A place of their own. Two smaller things; 1) I want to know how much Rev Wakefield knew, either thru his own research, or from Frank. Did he know his "artifacts" held the key to Roger and Brianna's past? Is that why he was so diligent in collecting and storing? I kind of hope his story is not done. And secondly, for Roger to sing again, and find joy in his life, a place of his own, both in time and place. And wee Ian - I'd love to see that boy have someone who knocks his socks off - and everything else. -- Jayne, 15:11:21 08/12/08 Tue

[> J & C find the gold, return to Scotland, and at the end of the final book, are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary surrounded by their entire family! (Can you tell I love happy endings?) -- Dark Angel, 20:15:58 08/12/08 Tue


[ Edit | View ]








[> I'd like to see Ian happy and settled somewhere, as for how I'd like the books to end I accept that DG has to end them somewhere but I just hope she ends them happily. -- alison, 05:49:44 08/13/08 Wed

[> I want to know how Jamie the ghost ... -- Lady Mariask, 13:25:01 08/13/08 Wed

... at the start of Cross Stitch (UK here!) ties in with the rest of the story. And Herself says she *will* tell us that, so I'm on tenterhooks waiting...

[ Edit | View ]




[> [> Me too! That's been bugging me ever since I finished ABOSAA the first time. I kept hoping there'd be an explanation by then, but hopefully it will be revealed in the next book. -- Denise H, 15:41:01 08/13/08 Wed


[ Edit | View ]

[> [> [> I'm also anxious to find that out, but since DG said she will tell us in the Last Book....I will be patient because I really don't want them to end! -- Mitzi, 09:58:54 08/14/08 Thu

[> I would like to see more about the Fraser prophesy. -- Barb J., 12:00:35 08/15/08 Fri

[> While I want to read it, I am a bit apprehensive about Lord John/Jamie in 'Echo'. They will be fighting on opposite sides of a battle John won't win. John all but ended their friendship when Jamie turned. It's going to break my heart to read any strained interactions between them. That being said, I love a good John/Claire scene. They are always fizzing with hostility and jealousy, look forward to it! -- Danielle, 23:30:54 08/15/08 Fri

[> Hmmm...I like a lot of the suggestions above. My two favorites are Frank - what he knew and how - and a peaceful, happy old age for Claire and Jamie. -- Terri C, 17:10:28 08/16/08 Sat

[> August Poll -- Rebecca Goss (Rebecca Goss), 19:02:11 08/17/08 Sun

I want to know how Black Jack Randall really died. She never really went into detail about it because Jamie can't remember much about that day but he has been having dreams and I am hoping that we will find out how he killed him...I am thinking though that she will drag it out as much as possible..I know I would.

[ Edit | View ]








[> what I would like wrapped up -- MicheleF, 18:29:05 08/21/08 Thu

Laoghaire immediately came to mind, but, as with all evil she will implode on herself eventually. So....I think I would like to know how Frank found out about Bree and Claire going "back", which he most apparently did since he placed the tombstone and taught Bree some things she would need to know. Also, I have a feeling that Bree and Roger will find something at Lallybroch that will force them to return.

[ Edit | View ]








[> OK-I have to get this out of my system!! Claire, who not only synthesized penicillin, comes up with DNA testing. We discover after all, that Jamie is in fact, not Willie's father. Turns out Geneva was seducing all the stable men and we really don't know who it is. OK....that's over. Sorry, I know most of you like Willie-I'm the oddball who just isn't interested in his or LJG storyline-sorry to dissapoint, it's just me! Now, I really do want Ian to find his true soulmate-I just love Ian! I want to see a happy ending-no more abductions, beatings, rapes, separations-I can't handle anymore of that! It would be great ot see Jem & Mandy have the ability to time travel at will so they can be sort of a liaision bewteen past & present. But most of all, I want Jamie & Claire to grow old together in peace. -- Rollaine, 10:01:09 08/22/08 Fri


[ Edit | View ]








[> I agree with MicheleF. I'd like to find out more about Frank knowing something about Claire and Bree in the past. -- ShonnaL, 10:07:08 09/03/08 Wed
