Howdy! Aloha!

Been a reeaallll looonnng time since my last update.

But Hot&Crispy(TM) is still hot in the market, serving the palate of hungry trolls Arda-wide for ISD$666.66. (No, we don't take Mordor Red Eyes here, only real Isengard dollars). So get'em while they're juicy!

I guess my screenname means that I have serious delusions of grandeur.

...Well, I do think Galadriel's pretty cool, don't you?

I also chose it because my handle elsewhere on the net is Topazlily, or "Topaz" for short and to me the name "Nerwen" sounds yellow.

Well, actually, it's sort of golden-yellow...

My name means that I am an ancient north european Goddess of Death. See my profile for more info. Somehow I have combined this with the whole rising out of lakes and throwing swords at people idea, although, being a Goddess of Death, I drag people into lakes instead. (Mathematicians especially, but only if they are superstitious ones, because those are the tastiest.) This is also why my avatar is blue - because I am underwater.

Really, that's what it means.

Mine is from Stephen R. Donaldson, "The Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever".

(I know many fantasy readers dislike these books as 'too depressing' or something of the like. Actually, my namesake is one of the least depressing, or rather most positively un-depressing characters I've ever met in fiction. And by the way, both of us are male, whatever the name may suggest.)
