I don't think so..... Let me search my memory (I've had these characters for a long time, even before The Long Winter)... I remember going through the family trees, the BD name generator, and the like, trying to find two names I liked. Dinodas was from a story I wrote a long while ago, and I thoroughly enjoyed that name. Robin came up as a name that was not too feminine, but could work with a female, and that was the kind of name I wanted, as Robin was based on myself, not wanting to be denied the things her male friends and family got: Such as doing hard work out in the fields with her father and brother rather than helping her mother with the cooking. (Shooting her arrows at Wargs rather than sitting home worrying about those who were [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img])

I must say I'm quite pleased to hear you liked that game so much. Yes, that was a great crew. I don't know if I've mentioned him before, but Olo from Hobbit's Gift was wonderful. Played by Eruantalon, who sadly had to leave the Barrow-Downs.

A couple weeks ago I had a dream about it. Of course, the excitement isn't quite over. When May comes my artist-friend is going to be convinced to draw a cover illustration for it, which I'll be showing to all the Long Winter crew, and ElentariGreenleaf, since she asked for it (don't worry, Elentari, I haven't forgotten!).

And now I'm becoming the best of friends with Angelica Baggins and Bill Ferny, characters I have been allowed to play in a Roleplaying game. It's funny how you become attached to the characters you play..... I'll never be able to read the FotR without thinking of the Shadow of the Star when I come across those two characters. Lately I've been finding myself acting out Fosco and Prisca scenes, Bill Ferny and Stoatie scenes, Angelica and Pio scenes, etc.
