Works for me. *shrugs*

If I do an icon for a faction for fans of Vachon's bike, how about "the
Triumphants" for their name?

Subject: Re: A faction for fireplace fans
Could do. That way the dragon won't feel left out or beg for its own
separate faction.

I think I'm inclined to back off from "Firelighters" and go for "Old
Flames". It's got the pun. Also it applies equally to the fireplace (if
lit) *and* to the dragon. And it's cute.

Quackers is cute. Have I voted on this yet? I forget. If not, I'm going
for that one.

I'm going to simplify these and combine them as Quackers:

That is awfully cute, but also conjures up images of actual hearth bleeding,
which may not be a good idea (except at Hallowe'en).

(but then Andrew's "Hearths of Gold" prompted me to
think of "Bleeding Hearths", which, all things considered,
may be too cute.)

Gibson Girls, but that assumes everyone in the faction is female. . .
although every Vaq I know is female, so it may not be that far off. . .
Would be easier if it was a Fender, LOL. . . or if guitar was an interesting
word in Spanish. . . Lemme think on this one and get back to you.

From what I understand Javier Vachon's guitar is a Gibson.

Didn't check the TO: line. {blush}

Subject: Questions about FKFIC-L etiquette
My apologies for this post, but I have a, shall we say slight (I wish),
problem with comprehension and processing what I read. (Without boring
anyone with personal stuff, my brain condition is such that what seems
evident to someone at first read might go over my head no matter how many
times I read it.) I read an email I received about FKFIC-L which I've just
opened and gone over and over but I still can't find the info I'm looking
for so I'm going by memory here, please bear with me and sorry if I write
anything dumb.
I think I read somewhere that only 300 lines of text are allowed? Now I
don't have a way to count lines atm, so I was wondering if it were
acceptable if I sent a story in several parts? At least 2. Or would it
bounce out if it were 350-400 lines?
Also I'm not sure even if I were able to get my program that counts lines to
work & figure it, whether they would equal the same length of lines in this
little list sever box? So basically are two/three-parters acceptable or
frustrating and against the rules?
Finally, if I understood that well, it's not ok to discuss nor mention
anyone's fiction writings neither at the FKFIC-L nor at the FORKNI-L, correct?
Again my apologies and thanks in advance for your clarifications.
Confused Otto.

Correct, there is a 300 line limit. Sending a story in parts is the
way to do it. You can send up to 3 posts a day to FKFIC-L.

That should work fine.

No discussion on FKFIC-L - only stories there. However, discussing
stories, or anything FK related, is fine on FORKNI-L.
Have fun!

Subject: Faction icons
The icons for the Old Flames and Quackers have just been posted here:
http://greerwatson.livejournal.com/22694.html
Icons for the factions for Vachon's guitar and motorcycle have gone off to
the Vaqueras to see what they make of them. I do hope they get back to me
fairly soon! I'd kind of like to get them finished and posted.
Unless people speak up, I don't think I'll continue work on icons for
Janette's portrait or LaCroix's bust. On the whole, interest seems slight.
Of course, if you *do* want them...!
