Now sues, die!

have the Gregorian calendar, both in form and names, but have some people have nicknames for each month?

Is to use the Gregorian calendar and have the notable months having nicknames. Ala Harvest for September. That way it will be easier for you to understand and you can have fun with it aswell.

Just an idea,

I forgot to click the box to get told when there was a response. Is there a way to still get responses? Or do I just have to keep an eye on things?

It's told me anyway.

I'm writing a fic for a fandom known as Fable, a sort of medieval swords and sorcery thing. I originally had a very vague and incomplete list of names for each month which partially ripped off The Elder Scrolls calendar. Recently, I've been re-reading the Tortallan stories by Tamora Pierce and re-discovering exactly why I loved them. I've noticed that Pierce uses the Gregorian calendar and so I thought, what the hell, this is too much work, I'll use that too. So I deleted the notes on months and now, two weeks later, I remember why I was making up months in the first place.

It turns out that Fable doesn't use the Gregorian calendar. Damn. The problem is that only one single month has a name: Harvest. Judging by the colouring of the leaves at the time of the month's mentioning (right at the beginning), I think this is some time in Autumn. The problem is, I gave up on the months last time and can't be bothered to try again.

So, I have two options. One: ask you lot to help me craft a fantasy calendar (number of days and months will be Gregorian for simplicity). Two: you lot tell me to just use the Gregorian for simplicity.

I'm voting for option two, myself. It's easier for everyone (including the readers) and allows me to get on with the fic without having to check the month name constantly.

Thanks for any help you can give me,

here, have a smuggled in one shot flamer, well, one handed flame thrower. Please.. just don't use on the flowers.

anyway.. have fun.

Nesh, that's... perfect. We should put it on a flag.

There are exactly two ways to make an ellipsis: three dots with no spaces between them and three dots with spaces between them, depending on the publisher's style. Three dots. No more, no less. Three shalt be the number of dots in an ellipsis, and the number of dots shall be three! Four thou shalt not count; neither count thou two unless thou then proceedeth to three. Five is right out!

So there. *folds arms and looks cross*

River otters are more pretty than cute.

.........in which there are approximately twenty-three ellipses, and another in which that same mark has been created by holding down the period key for an undetermined length of time..

Sharp things twelve inches long that can cut through hyper-advanced powered armor make everyone happy ^_^

I can't wait to use this! *Begins Sue-Killing rampage*

See you on the Tall Ship Races 2010!

I gift you with an otter plushie! Ain't he just adorabibble?
