'British evening' for you.

I've put it down as 'order (mind)', which hopefully captures the idea without being too big for the circle. :)

With a certain fictional(?) inspiration...

(I didn't quite go so far as to write 'Time Lord' in the final slot, but I wanted to.)

"... whee."

October 1st, 1987 (3:43 AM, as Mom has made sure to tell me), maple-leaf crimson, and... you know? I think it's changing things. Setting them rightly into the universe by changing them. Or, in other words,

Fitting that it's sort of on Pratchett, at the end, being you've got some very Pratchetty-bits about the story, ay? It was a fun story all around, and I especially liked how you described the space station - real evocative, really speaks to a lot of passion, I suppose, on the part of that particular character.
Also, that little insight into the workings of the technicians. It's very, Iunno, relateable, there?

Though I got a couple nitpickies about here and there:
'the advertisements the sold the dream it embodied' - probably ought to have it as 'the advertisements that sold the dream'

And, errr. I had another one but now I can't find it. Can't have been that bad of a mistake if I can't find it though, eh?

I definitely agree that from what I've seen, hS writes quite formally, but I'm not sure I'd go so far as to say people have been assuming he has anything but the best intentions. He always comes across to me as someone who just thinks deeply about things and is good at conveying what he means, but the sheer power of his Aura of Mysterious Oldbie-ness (plus the fact that, let's face it, the things he has worked on are nothing short of legendary in a good way here) makes some people feel that a thread like this would be a good idea.

I may be wrong. Maybe people have jumped to bad conclusions about Huinesoron a lot. I don't have the best track record of checking the Board, but that's just what I've seen.

That said, I think this thread is helping a lot. At least, I'm having a lot of fun learning things about the oldbies, and I'm willing to bet that a lot of other people are, too.

I love his little crown, it's so cute!

All he needs to do is go "Whee!" and then he'd be Wheenesoron! :P

Let me know when is best for you, and we shall see when we shall duel.

The results don't do EPL justice. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

As for my specialization, well, that's connection and communication. I spent so long lost in my anger that I forgot about it.

I was in a bad place.

But I'm okay now.

I'm very clearly a Pteranodon.

Huevilsoron/Huevosoron/Huinesauron/Huinesaurian/Huinesoarin'. Rumours that he is infested by irritating bugs are completely unfounded, thankyouverymuch.

And sorry for not replying to your emails, I haven't been using the email address you've been sending them to for a while now.

Featuring the painful adventures of an amateur technician:
