Fascinating! It was a bit different for me, I think: I also wanted to do original stuff in the beginning, but Conlang taught be there is not much to be originally done anymore, at least it seems you would have to be very inventive. This did not put me off the least, however, because all those ideas seemed so interesting to be expored by myself. Þrjótrunn is a typical example: there are zillions of romlangs and many, many diachronical conlangs applying which sound shifts you can imaging to Vulgar Latin, but I had not done it myself. And it turned out to be one of the most interesting and entertaining things to do in the past few years. Without Conlang and so much stuff explored, I would never have done it and I would never had appreciated romlangs so much. **Henrik
