Re: OT: Canada is severely insulted by US official.

Hmmm... good point there.  Perhaps if I create a personal language, apart
from the ones for my fictions, it'll be less likely for the elves to have
sixteen varieties of "socialism" and only two kinds of fruit.

And... I don't just write Harry Potter (nor do I just read Harry Potter
^_^), it's just the only thing on my blog and website at the moment (that
you can find).  I write original stuff, and Star Wars stuff, and I'm in a
collective writing group (nine people trying to write a novel... oiiii...).
I read almost anything I can get my hands on.  Having said all that, HP
rocks, and it's my favorite fandom to write in.  The second book is my
second favorite -- just wait until Book THREE...

Question: does anyone know if there's Star Trek fanfiction written in
Klingon, or LOTR fanfiction written in Quenya (or really minimalist fiction
written in Sindarin ^_^)?  I think that'd have to be the ultimate compliment
to a writer, someone who wants to write in your universe using the language
you invented for it.  Someday I want little girls to write fuzzy little
stories about my elves in Sarah1 (or rather, in that language that will be
renamed soon, LOL).  And I promise I won't sue them for copyright
infringement, or send them C&D letters.
