    • Hey Gandalf! When is "Mugabi and Destiny... for it" coming out?


      The following quote appeared in the Help Is On The Way Forum, and I thought it best to answer its humourous tone on this Webboard.

      Hmmm... how shall I reply to that? Let me count the ways...

      Practical: Introducing romance in the "it" version would be difficult and
      ambiguous at best, and would cater to a small audience as most "it's" have fur or exoskeletons, and cannot read.

      Busy/bothered/executive/political: My staff is currently detained with making
      the french versions of the plug, which will be kept in a seperate folder away
      from the english versions.

      Angry/crass: It will come out when it's G****mn good and ready!!

      Flippant/sarcastic: Why, tomorrow!

      Musical: "Tomorrow, tomorrow, I...."

      Snooty: "It's" do not "comm". Hmph!

      Serious: When entitling the female version, I wanted to be clear that the
      plug-in was the same, yet different, and offered the same opportunities.

      Obscure: Have you seen "Cyrano De Bergerac?"

      Okay, I'll stop now. I can't believe you got all the way down here! But all
      joking aside, I did receive requests for a french version, and they even found
      a translator for me! The girl who provided the female perspective and
      proof-read the female version is also fluent in french, but I thought that it
      would be a little much, yes? And so when you (Octoberfost) gave your little quip it was
      humourously inspiring. It was a quip, right?
      Good fortune on your plug-in endeavors, Octoberfost!
      Martin (Gandalf)

      (The above jokes are void where offensive. And for any beings that consider themselves to be "it's", I am so, so, sorry for any of the above statements. They are not intended to be in poor taste, or a personal attack of any kind.)

      Jude, you have my french-speaking roomates jumping up and down for joy! I guess I find the idea of relinquishing the control of the language nuances a bit daunting, as I would not be able to read/check/tweek my own story! But... hmmm.

    • May I ask you something, did you get that name from "Lord of the Rings" 🙂

      Absolutely! I've always loved that series. When I was a kid, we actually had a record set of "The Hobbit" (I think it was six records in all), narrated along with beautiful harp/lute/pipe music. Great for road trips!

      Well, let me know when it's finished! There used to be some French-speakers on the boards who would also love it, I'd bet. Are you still around, Chapo and Etienne?

      No idea where Chapo went, and Etienne despises UBB.
