I think all of my fan mail has just been asking about what Pat’s role in events he was going to was going to be. That way I could gauge if it was worth going to see him, again, or not. This time my word was ‘brrmps’ which is another way of saying ‘goose bumps’. Use it next time you are chilly at work or in some other adult oriented group. Ex: “Geeze! It is cold out here. Look, I even have brrmps on my arms!”

I am going to have to bookmark the comment page for when I need new fantasy-language vocabulary. Yes, now Pat’s blog’s comments are drawing visits all on their own….rwguk — a pleasant surviving example of /w/ as a vowel, “rwguk” refers to a small amphibian found in the lowlands of Chrenada, named for its characteristic mating call and used commonly in peasant dishes.

O wow, Spit Girl commented. That is laugh out loud good times right there.Obviously, my fan letter to you was a giant YAWN. It said "I love the book & am telling everyone about it", and you replied "Thank You". I don't get an honorable mention for being pedantic, eh?Speaking of boring, my word is umeynw. That's practically a sentence in itself, you and me you know?

When I wrote, I just gushed and sort of babbled. I think I tried to make “Book good, me likey!” sound a little less insane by using fancy words. Somehow, even when I met this god among men in person in Indy, I managed not to drool and babble as well, surprising myself to a great degree. Well, Pat, if you want a true measure of your success, I’ve counted twelve different variations of Kvothe as character names on my server in World of Warcraft. Seems to be split between warriors and mages, too, which means that people are trying to play it correctly. So, you’re not quite up to the Legolas variation level, but you are gaining on the Drizzt camp. Yes, the ultimate gauge of success as a fantasy writer, how many of your characters show up in MMOs.

Well, after all this talk of silly words, I can’t help but point out this useful diagram from another of my web-based addictions: http://xkcd.com/483/xjvyqv. There’s not even a vowel in that, so I’m going with…. Xtreme Jewish Vision for Yiddish Quality Votes. -Sorry, best I could do on short notice (im not trying to be mean, honest!)
