Sorry. Little excitable there. I got an email back today from someone who had asked to use the Thousand Word Silmarillion at a convention the last weekend of August. Being the ignoramus that I am, I was not clear on the size of this convention. It was the Fellowship Festival 2004. The programme director had asked if it would be possible for her to make it into a Powerpoint presentation and run it on the main stage.

I heard from her again today.

We DID use it. I opened with it before the actual opening ceremony. I added a
count down to it at the end, so it worked really well. I opened it with title
and "by
$INSERT_CAMWYN'S_REAL_NAME_HERE" so your name was shown.

It got really good laughs and a huge applause at the end. Cudo's to you. Of
course you can mention it on your website now. "The home of the original Sil
in a thousand words as seen in London" *G*. I can also tell you that the guy's
from the British Tolkien society had a really good laugh too.


She's offered to send it to me as soon as I can come up with a mail account of mine that'll accept a file that size.

I gotta go squee now, okay? I'll put the Hamlet on my site tomorrow.

Ya done did it right, but I knew that before this. It's good to have my opinions confirmed by those who are benighted enough to think they know more than me, though. ;)

Oh hellz yeah!

You were a star at the convention and you weren't even there, lassie!

Now, if we can just get your Hamlet to be shown at the Ashland Shakespeare Festival....

Right on, sister.

Gmail total message size limit (including attachments) is 10 MB. How big a presentation is it, anyway? (I mean, it's only 1000 words!)

If the gmail account can't handle the attachment, I can give you a POP account at rooth.org, at least long enough for you to get your slides. :) There's no form to fill out or anything, I just click a button or two to add the account and give you a password. Size is not really an issue.

Congrats, anyway! :) I'll have to go check this thing out!
