And the winner is…
Cool site of the day: David Lanham
I’ve added I Will Revive to the TOS page. For those who claim not to know the song, the alien version should refresh your memory. (Speaking of Khan filk, I was surprised to learn that Temperature of Revenge is actually a filk of another filk, “Temper of Revenge.”)
While out filking, I downloaded a list of all the 1 to 1.5 syllable words in English. Apparently, linguists consider a terminal er, le and certain other word endings to be half a syllable. Linguists are clearly not filkers. So with the magic of Emacs, I cut out all the 1.5 syllable words to make a list of the true one-syllable words. If you want to print them out, take the paper-saving version instead.
I’ve also added the ASC Awards 2002 results to the other years listed on the links page. I won some of them: first place in VOY Featuring Seven of Nine and third in Best Story for “The Lamne’rau,” all three VOY filk awards (”Janeway: The Musical!” “I’ve Grown Accustomed to the Phage,” and “The Sound of Sickbay”), first in VOY Crew for “Beta Energy,” second in VOY Single Person for “What’s Left of Her,” third for VOY Author, and third for Best Author. It’s the third-place awards that surprised me the most - last year I wasn’t the multi-series author I am today (Khaaaaaannnnnnn!), so I didn’t expect any of the Overall awards. Also I didn’t write all that much besides filk, but it was a slow year in general, it seems.
Congratulations to everyone who won this year, especially Rabble Rouser (Best Story), Djinn (Best Author, TOS Author), Rocky (VOY Author), Seema (DS9 Author), Lori (TNG Author), nostalgia (ENT Author, New Author), and Ventura33 (MIS Author). Thanks to everyone who commented - every comment is appreciated.
