SO, I totally have a new favorite planet in the GFFA.

Neelgaimon.

A planet on the Outer Rim famous for its dangerous sandmines

*dies and is ded*

NEELGAIMON.

(Barbara Hambly named the planet after Neil Gaiman as a thank you for introducing her to a pile of people at a convention. In the eyes of his twelve year old son, this almost made him cool. :p)

*stares*

Are you SERIOUS? XD

[yubsie]

Would I lie to you?

And could I make this UP? :p

[chlorrel.livejournal.com]

Hee. After I commented, I saw the author name.

Yeah, really, it should be no surprise. :P

[yubsie]

This is the person who brought us pittens and topatoes. :p

[jemmadove.livejournal.com]

AHH! Pittens!

[yubsie]

Cute but... OMG WHY?

[lestack.livejournal.com]

The only thing I remember from anything Hambly ever excreted via pen:

"Vast collection of Huttese pornography"

[yubsie]

*shudder*

And some burger thing that really reminded me of Happy Meals.

:D

[yubsie]

...

I had apparently repressed that memory. :p

[chlorrel.livejournal.com]

I accidentally discovered it the other day.

[yubsie]

Could you un-discover it? :p

[chlorrel.livejournal.com]

If only it were that simple.

[yubsie]

D*mn. :p

[non-horation.livejournal.com]

Cheery Meal!

[yubsie]

WHY? ;___;

God, I hate the EU. There's also a planet named either Aeneas or Aeneid after a famous Latin poem. And you thought fan fic was bad...

[yubsie]

I'm dismissing this one as "Barbara Hambly is not known for her subtlety"

At least it was a little one mention thing, just enough to make people who get it snicker. :p

[jeepersjournal.livejournal.com]

Wow, this is AWESOME.
Is Neelgaimon populated?
I demand it have it's own personal umbrella shaped Death Star.

[yubsie]

Populated, but it sounds like it's a pretty harsh place. :p

What the HELL is a sandmine? :p

[jeepersjournal.livejournal.com]

I'm guessing it's a Landmine. But made for Sand. Probably something Imperial if it blows stuff up :)

[yubsie]

IT's a place they send slaves :p

[jeepersjournal.livejournal.com]

Or, they export sand to other places, and mine for it.

Those are my two guesses.

oh my GOD Hambly just needs to stay THE HELL AWAY FROM THIS EFFING FANDOM!

*that is all*

[yubsie]

There are worse things she has done. But yes. :p
