Welcome Shawn!

(and for all those who are saying that they beated me, well first of all I have
a life, and in this case it involved a friend coming over for the
weekend ;))) . And secondly, well... I have a life! ;))) )

Hehe, funny enough, the last survey seems to show that Tolkien has influenced
only a few of us :)) .

Only one advice (and I find it strange that all those people who like to say
how much faster they are than me didn't think about it ;)))) ): go to
http://www.conlanglinks.tk. This page contains all the links necessary for the
conlanger beginner (or the beginner conlanger, whatever you prefer ;)) ). The
other advice of just following the list is very good too :)) .

Anyway, welcome again!
