Modern Takes

Catherine Fisher's Corbenic explicitly refers to the Fisher King so I think it should be included in this section. I also don't see why we can't include as many works as there that allude to the legend particularly if there is an explanation of how they do so (e.g. That Hideous Strength’s Wikipedia entry doesn't mention the Grail/Fisher King at all). The section was untidy and difficult to read but that would be easy to fix.Hazel75 22:00, 4 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

But is there chorlis hunkin for a cheesie bo? That's the real issue.Hazel75

merge proposal

I think this one is obvious, the other page is very small and repeats information found in this one. Wrad 23:56, 6 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

What other page are you referring to?--Cúchullain t/c 06:03, 7 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Pelles and Fisher King need to be merged, sorry. Wrad 15:11, 7 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

I wholly disagree. The two characters are distinct from each other, regardless of their similarities. They have different sources (both Celtic, admittedly), and the proper course of action would be a rewrite of Pelles rather than a merging. --Icydesign 20:12, 16 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
I don't see anything at Pelles that can't be treated equally well here. Pellam possibly, too. Whatever their differences it may be fruitful to have them over here to discuss the relationship more fully.--Cúchullain t/c 20:49, 16 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

No response for a few days. What should we do? Wrad 01:03, 20 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, I missed your comment. Go ahead and do it, if you wish.--Cúchullain t/c 22:34, 29 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Michael Scott Rohan's Spiral sequence

There should be some mention of this sequence, in which the central character turns out to be the Fisher King himself. If someone has more ready access to the books than me (in storage…), feel free to pre-empt me. HTH HAND —Phil | Talk 07:40, 10 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
