Othaglot and Cane - Story Thread

[dogscoff]

Chapter 17 is now available- a bit of light relief and plot development, makes a nice change from all this emotional stuff.

Chapter 18 is ready for posting, but I want chapters 19 and 20 ready before I do that.

Oooooh, I tell ya, it all starts to get messy very soon...

Also, I'm working on another courier story

[dogscoff]

Oh that reminds me: For the courier story, I need some info about ice hockey. Can anyone help? I know we have plenty of Canadians here.

Ice hockey terminology: You score goals by getting the puck into the goal, right? I understand you then you have a face-off. Oh, do you have a referee or an umpire? What about linesmen? This is for a futuresport based on ice hockey, so I can afford to make a few things up (the positions, for example), but I'd like it to have some connections to the real thing.

Sorry if these are dumbass questions but ice hockey really isn't a big deal in this country and I have no clue.

Edit 2: I need some team names, but I don't want to clash with existing hockey/ american football teams. Do any of these exist?
Piranhas (i'm sort of stuck with this one already)
Mongeese (A respectful reference to GT )
Emporers
Novae

If any of those are unavailable, how about the following backups:
Spikes
Warlocks
Warriors
Wizards

thanks ppl. First one to answer gets a player named after them in the story. Hope to upload the story this weekend somewhen.

Just letting you know your fiction page doesn't have a link to Chapter 17. Also, your Chapter 18 link on Chapter 17 links to Chapter 7. Not that Chapter 18 is posted yet--get with the program, will ya?

[dumbluck]

Warriors and Wizards are pro basketball teams. Pirahnas (sp?) are.... baseball, I think? Hmm. Maybe not. But I know the Warriors and Wizards are teams (that play each other this weekend, if I'm not mistaken...)

[dogscoff]

Thanks ppl. Krsqk, yeah i knew about some of that. Will fix.

I'v mentioned the Plenty Piranhas in the other courier story too, so I guess I'll have to stick with it, unless someone can think of a really nice new "P" word.

BTW, character names al round for you two - slightly respelled though...

*sigh*, I might as well tell you. In fact, I'll just post the whole damn story here.

Read it in the Courier thread.
