Happy deathday, Howard, and may Shoggoths ever ooze upon your bones!
The current kerfuffle in webcomicsdom inspired me to log into my Keenspot boards account for the first time in over a year. Joined: May 16, 2000. O_o That's... wow. I've been in online media fandom almost six years then, considering I was reading for nearly a year before I got a Keenspot account. I'm, like, a Great Old One. Or a Lesser Old One, anyway. I might qualify for upper-echelon minionhood, at least. It depresses me that at least 75% of the current big names in webcomics are people who weren't even *around* back in the day, when I still had hopes of someday reading every good webcomic out there. Eesh.
In other news, you guys *suck*. Except the three of you who actually wrote me double-dactyls. Plus, NO HELP AT ALL in telling me what DVDs to buy. q-:
Have some more double-dactyls, in punishment.
Quenya is a *very* iambic language; never noticed that before. Also, nobody gave me any advice on how to scan Goa'uld. Nobody on the show pronounces it consistently, and if you're going by the *spelling*, it should be either go-ah-'-uld or go-'-uld, and I have no *idea* how a glottal stop scans, although I guess uh-oh is usually just a trochee... go-ah-uld would be a dactyl, I guess, if you do it that way ...
Also, I can't for the life of me figure out whether it should be Dúnedain or Dúnadan up there, and I'm afraid to go looking, or I'll get A Elbereth Gilthoniel silivren penna miriel o menel aglar elenath! Gilthoniel! O Elbereth! stuck in my head again ... oops, too late.

| Firiel Miriel Arwen Undomiel Carried a torch for the Dúnadan heir; Sewed him a banner that's Cryptobotanically Blazoned with Nimloth's own Daughter so fair. | Dombilly Bomdilly My Lady Goldberry Daughter of spring rains and Withywind's wend: She is too vivid for Laurelindorinan; Mallorn is golden, but Willow's a friend. | Hoyoto Toyoho Eowyn Shieldmaiden Ended the reign of the Wraith-rider king; Still did she pine for her Octogenarian Heartthrob, till Faramir Gave her a ring. |
