Am home from Redemption 07. Fantastic con :-))) I'm really hoping that I'll be able to return to England for a week for Redemption 09 - this is the first time I've had to say "er, I'm not sure because I'm emigrating next year...." and it's starting to bring home the fact that it's really happening and rather soon

Nice chatting in the panel.

The only problem with cons is that you end up with more friends...wait, why did I call that a problem?

BTW, MMSed that photo to my friend and, yep, she says she can see why I might have mistaken the back of your head for hers!

*g* It's definitely the oddest reason for photographing my hair I've had, although not the first request...

Did you scare somebody at Redemption? How? Are you scary? Should I be commenting on your LJ?

I'm hoping that I didn't scare anyone at Redemption, I can be rather hyper when talking about favourite subjects and you should definitely be commenting on my LJ :-) Thanks for coming along to the panel and helping to keep it going with suggestions. It was lovely to meet you - roll on Redemption 09!

Oh, good! I thought it was you who'd mentioned that one, so you'd be able to identify it. When I looked on Wikipedia, it was listed with his fantasy, but it was the only other book that wasn't epic fantasy, so I thought it must be the one :)

Er, which isn't always a good thing when the to-read stack is two feet tall :-)
Regina's Song is a rather interesting book - qualifies as fantasy but is nothing like his usual epic fantasy. It's feels like an Eddings book, but with a twist which is why it stood out a bit for me.

Sir Maldaef is the party patron in two RPG I run. As such using the name has two flaws. Firstly no one will get it aside from the dozen or so players. Secondly although I think he is pretty cool, it is important that he is on of my characters and not me. People seeing me use him as a name might see too much identification.
So perhaps not that interesting really. I assume that if I read your writings I would find out why you use Selenay 936 (and I thought Selenay was your real name when I met you (not that �real name� is that useful a concept).

*g* Thank you. I have a serious case of verbal diarrhoea sometimes :-) I just hope to make it entertaining!

Hmm. Possibly. But on the other hand, most people won't know why you've chosen the name so it will become like most other Internet handles - a pattern of letters that people associate with a particular person and their interests. Generally when I see a person's name appearing in a conversation or on LJ, I have a mental association with the kind of thing they talk about and conversations we've shared rather than anything I might know about what their pseud originally meant. Does that make sense to you?
and I thought Selenay was your real name when I met youYou're not the first :-) The 936 is the standard thing I add when Selenay has already been taken on a system and it was originally picked at random, no interesting story there. I have been a fan of Mercedes Lackey's books for a long time and, when I was first ( ... )
