Between Birthday and Christmas, I got the rest of Gargoyles on DVD and the Young Justice comics. Very sweet.

(Guess not. Let's try this again!)

So, I've heard of slow days, but a slow week? Or week-end as it were! Sheesh!

At any rate, I felt it was time to clear the air about what I've been up to. I just about gave up trying to roleplay with the SpecGargs folks and simply go back to the background, responding with the occasional riff, relevant or otherwise!
Shame really, as I would've liked to see my ideas implemented. If anybody cares to see my old responses, just click below!
Finally, a bit of background info on A.I.N.T.: yes, I named him as a take-off on Harlan Ellison's AM, of "I Have No Mouth" fame. The difference being as AM is a huge, immobile supercomputer, and as such both misanthropic and insane, AINT is a free moving "super-program" who happens to be friendly and helpful, though often playful and mischievous. (Also, it helped that a human psyche was needed to help bring him online. Namely mine!) And yes, AINT was apparently written by a Virtual Adept mage from the Old World of Darkness, a supposedly surviving fragment from that now fallen reality.
Still, my concept, among many, would've been interesting. Happy Belated New Year everyone!

Whoa, Greg had a mystical experience at Tintagel? Do tell.

Since Greg has revealed that Merlin is Oberon's son, I would guess that he would do some play on this when choosing a last name for him - whether it's making Ambrosius some foreign-tongue version of the name Oberon or a name Oberon once went by, or making it his mother's last name that he chose to go with because he doesn't get along with his father - something like that.

Matthew: Thanks!

It was a truly incredible experience, and I'm really glad that Greg appreciated my fanboyish-ramblings-trying-to-pass-for-a-con-report.

Hopefully I can do likewise at CONVergence...but that's a question of finances right now, and a rather tight one at that.

I suppose we shall see...

So I was reading through the ask Greg responses and wanted to commend Masterdramon's excellent memory and writing down Greg's live responses. Also wanted to thank him for the shout out, now that I think about it I think Greg was a little weirded out by the fact that I held the sign up for over an hour. (I was too excited to meet him to be tired.)

I have been unable to post a comment thus far today; my code response has been continuously rejected thus far. It would appear this glitch is now resolved along with others on Ask Greg thus far.

Endless Strategy writes...

Did Demona and her clan sleep at Castle Moray during the time she was allied with Macbeth?
Greg responds...

Often. Though never the entire clan at any one time.

Well, that answers that.

A couple of Arthurian answers at "Ask Greg" today.

1. Someone asked Greg Weisman about his 1981 visit to England in search of Arthurian sites, and which ones he visited besides Tintagel (where he had a mystical experience, and which was a part-original for Castle Wyvern). Greg replied:

"We definitely saw a version of the Round Table. (Old but not convincing.) And went to the hill where some scholars thought Camelot was. And we went to Stonehenge."

The Round Table replica was probably the one at Winchester (which is indeed old, but not that old; the painting of Arthur on it looks suspiciously like Henry VIII), and the hill is probably South Cadbury in Somerset, which a Tudor antiquarian named Leland claims was called "Camelot" by the locals, who said that King Arthur often stayed there. (Archaeologists have discovered that a wealthy chieftain seems to have lived there in the late 5th century, though we don't know if he was the original for Arthur or not.)

I've visited those places myself, and was glad to learn that Greg's been to them as well.

2. Someone asked him if "Merlin" was the famous wizard's real name or a name or title that he assumed later on. Greg replied: "It's his name. Though not his full name."

I can guess at the rest of it, since in Geoffrey of Monmouth, Merlin's full name is given as "Merlin Ambrosius", which he often bears in more recent works. Presumably he goes by "Merlin Ambrosius" in the Gargoyles Universe as well, though that's just a guess and might be proven wrong by later revelations.

Here's the problem with most fanfic writers: they seem to think Dominique is a second life. It isn't. Demona spelled it plainly in "High Noon." She's a gargoyle. Dominique is just a tool to help her in her goals. She'll use the form because she changes into a human, whether she likes it or not, but Dominique is not another life for her.

Click my name for a link to the Comic Book Central podcast hosted by my friend Joe Stuber. He interviewed both Marina Sirtis and Jonathan Frakes, and they both mention Gargoyles and how much they enjoyed the show.
