Richard A Knaak, who wrote the Huma book was my favourite non-Weis-and-Hickman Dragonlance author.

Of course now I have a hard time reading any of them, they aren't as good as I remember, which sucks.

I was a Weis/Hickman follower, myself. The Dragonlance world is so large that I was reading one half of it, and my brother read the rest - we never seemed to agree on which stories we preferred but we were both huge Dragonlance fans. He named the iguana, since he read Huma's books more than anything else.

As for the slashing comment - somehow I expected someone to make a point about having slashed them, or wanting to now... Which makes me want to read them, just to see how I'd view their relationship.

Actually, that reminds me. Long before I knew of the existence of slash, I read The Death Gate Cycle, which at the time just gave me two guys who start of hating each other, but finally became friends by the end. If I read that now, it would've been slash all the way, probably, though one character had an actual mate/wife so it wouldn't be feasible canon-wise, not that that's ever stopped fannish slashing!

Anyway, I think I'll probably never reread those books, precisely because I adored the ending so much, and so many other little moments (to think I would routinely crack open one of the volumes just to find and reread the bit where one inadvertantly uses "..my friend," and the other one is like, "Really? You mean that?") To reread and find the story not as good as I remember would ruin a lot of great memories.

Though, I may just reread The Legend of Huma... I read a World of Warcraft book by Knaak, and while it wasn't that great, it did have a few nice moments and twists. Huma might stand the test of time.
