Jan. 28th, 2004 08:01 amYeah, I'm a slacker who hasn't posted anything lately. I'm sorry. My brain's been all over the map and I haven't been able to pull anything together. If I can get the iFruit online tonight, I'll post a couple things I wrote over the summer. You might get lucky and I'll even polish them first.
In the meantime, I've been thinking about oriflammes and Merovingians, pavilion shapes and whether or not they should have dags, heraldic devices, rules of guest friendship that don't completely handicap the host in the face of a bad guest, nasty pseudo-cat things with pointy teeth, the biology of migrating plants, the proper kind of flag/banner/standard for a herald to carry on a mission, combining Calvinball and that elbow-bumpy game in A Separate Peace and what to call it since JK Rowling has already claimed "shuntbumps", different systems of weregild and familial compensation, clan exogamy, mousse vs. gel, precisely what an orc looks like (I seem to be leaning towards the Warcraft model with a bit of Shrek ogreness thrown in), different systems of animism, regalia, duties of a court herald, geography, and education systems. There's a lot more going on in here than I thought. Anyway, I'm working on straightening it all out and I haven't completely flaked on you. As always, comments are welcome, even random ones that seem to be irrelevant (but probably aren't).
