Re: Flowering Fields - Snapshots from Rireinu
Frozen out in the Deep North - Don't be disgusting! cried Professor Takematu and stood up from the table. As she was the senior person present in the meeting, everyone else scrambled to stand up as well. - If that's galactic civilisation, we're well rid of it! So saying, the director of the Arctic ...

Re: What did you accomplish today?
I contacted an independent publisher to print a sample copy. I'm not sure if the LCS provides such service, but we know that several conlangers made their own grammar books via other avenues. Which one? I've been using Lulu for years, not because their system was easy to use, but because they had t...

Re: Some Snippets from The World: Yeola-Camay
The Magisters “What are we going to do?” asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer. “We’ve all heard the report, even if her high majesty has not!” The First Magister shot the Chancellor a withering glare, but he rambled on anyway. “This, this strange fascination she has with that female wizard...

Re: Some Snippets from The World: Yeola-Camay
A Voice from the Past In that moment, several things happened all at once. The Tana warrior at last found his opportunity and he took it. As Yorval was preparing to cast a deadly hex, he stepped aside, slipping momentarily into the Other Place, and Yorval swung his wand wide, wondering at his oppon...

Re: What did you accomplish today?
I kept my appointment with my cardiologist. He says in the 18 years since the operation on the artery in back of my heart I have had no heart issues and I still don’t. He also says to pay attention to all my other specialists. I feel like that’s an accomplishment! Indeed! Whether yours was open hea...

Re: Some Snippets from The World: Yeola-Camay

And all was chaos among the Werres as the winged warriors began their assault right away, focusing on the more powerful Werreish wizards. Though it s...

Re: Combat scenes and Misunderstood
That's a long list! I'm going to have to review CoG again --- I either have no memory of discoflamenco battle music at all or was so seriously scarred by the event that I've completely stricken it from my mind!

Re: What would the English equivalent be?
Oh, everyone, I need an English equivalent for prepsith . Prepsith is a Kankonian verb meaning "to eat or drink [something] in the store, without or before paying for it". Kind of depends on the specific circumstances. Colloquially, in the US, the terms for eating a grape or bit of cauliflower from...

Cool stories, both! I like the folk interpretation in the second story, while the first definitely gives me some Richard Diamond vibes!
