I was actually going to write a short story about the life of a <i>xaleza</i> and submit it to Mark - i'm currently obsessed with warrior classes, especially Japanese ronin. But i decided to wait until i had more background information on what they were like. I probably wouldn't have the time right now, anyway.
<p>Of course, the thing that needs to be remembered is that Mark is officially <i>so sanno Almee</i>, and although all of us derive a lot of enjoyment from his work, his acts of sub-creation are of course a very personal thing. I think if there is an area where other Almeanologists could help him out are in the more obscure areas - for example, deriving other Caizuran languages from proto-Eastern using a set of sound changes similar to Cuezi, etc. The little bits, that Mark realistically doesn't have time to do (at least not in great detail), himself.
<p>Having said that, of course I'd love to do something/anything on Xurno! I'm also sure that there's plenty of Xurno to go around . . . i'd be happy to work on some things while others do others. It's a big world after all . . . and it's completely up to Mark as to how he wants to shape it.
<hr><i>Mark responds:
<p>I'm still trying to wrap my head around this. :) In general I'd like
to encourage people... I'm not going to get to every language or culture
of Almea, and even if I did I couldn't tell all their stories. At the
same time I'm wary of conflict or disappointment in case I end up not
liking the way some contribution goes.
<p>I'm tickled that Xurno seems to be a popular interest... I think it'd
one of the most interesting places myself. (Verduria is intentionally
not very weird.)
<p>For now, my semi-official policy will be: do anything you want for
the enjoyment of yourself and other <b>drukî Verdúrë</b>;
ask me if you want something considered as part of the True Canon.
