tgwbs, good choice, I liked Herald of the Western Kings, but hey if it doesn't fit you and you are unsure about it than you probably would have wanted to change it down the road, in which case you'd be stuck with it. Shadowed Prince fits the theme and has creativity.

I'm still trying to find someone to take "Laconic Lorebud," but no takers yet.

ooh Laconic Lorebud, very nice, a possibility.

I really like Fluttering Enchantment. It works with my name and it sounds cool. But its mine so no steeling.

I like that, Wilwa. It would fit you well.

Congrats to all the new receivers of PT's; excellent choices, all of you. TORE's in particular fits him excellently, methinks.

I wish I had thought of pm'ing other people for feedback when I chose mine - I talked to a couple of people on IM (my cousin, a Downer of about 75 posts, and someone else, also a Downer, I think...), but I didn't like their ideas at all. I particularly liked the word 'Holbytla' - it sounds cool, and it's a link between what are probably my two favorite ... cultures? can't think of a word ... of ME - Hobbits and the Rohirrim. I toyed with the idea of "Elusive Illusion," but it doesn't look as good on the screen, and it didn't contain that favorite word. I had started out looking at the word Simbelmynë, but since two Downers had already used that I dropped the idea.

Somewhat random aside: I actually saw the word Ubiquitous the other day - it was bothering me because I couldn't remember whose title it was in. But it made me think of the Downs, which is a happy thing in any scenario.

I've also decided that PT's are good for your vocabulary...

Congrats to those who got thier personal titiles! I still can't think of anything with mine. I'm now starting to think of something that includes "poet" in it seeing that's what my name stands for. And good choice Wilwa! It suits you perfectly.

Mine was chosen rather entirely at random. I wanted two words that sounded good together than connoted an other-worldly quality in accordance with the Downs while at the same time maintaining my, well, shall we say boundless femininity. I'm very girly, and "enchantress" just sounded like it fit in so well with that concept. After I decided Enchantress, Ethereal just fell right into place. And it sounded pretty, so here I am, having submitted Ethereal Enchantress so long ago and still happy with it. Kind of like a well-thought-out tattoo in the perfect spot. Not that I'd know.

You might, or might not, have the rep by tomorrow (somehow, I'd wager not :P ), but I think you'll have a LITTLE bit of time to decide before you hit the big 500.
