Topic: Ataru really Do mean it.

Unless "Sol" is the name of our sun... I don't know, it's the first time I've heard of the name.

[cata]

In my country (Portugal) the Sun is called "Sol" but as we speak English in here (most threads, posts, topics, replies, etc.), it makes sence to say "Sun" and not "Sol".

[sidzero]

No, I mean "Sol". The sun is just a common name, but the scientific (at least as far as Astronomy is concerned) name for it is the original Latin term, "Sol". Like you can point out just about any star in the sky, and it'll have a name, so too does the star of our own system, the Solar System.

And I know, Sol is what the sun is called in many Latin-derived languages (and surprisingly many Nordic Languages too).

[UruseiNeo]

Solar System... SOLar system

Sol comes from Solar ^_^

[sidzero]

Sol comes from Solar ^_^

Actually, it's' the other way around.

[UruseiNeo]

Well at least I got that the were connected...

[Kroptik]

I believe the official name of Lum's planet is Uru, simply because of the 3 letter-name like in everything else Oni -related in the anime (I've said this before in another topic, just forgot where...).

Lum,Ten,Rei,Ran,Oni,Uru... get it?

[UruseiNeo]

I was gonna say what about 'datcha'

but... is datcha japanese or oni?

[sidzero]

It's Japanese. It's kinda like saying "eh?" at the end of your sentences, like our northern neighbors in Canada do.


As far as the 3 letter names... I've got one name for you: "Invader"

Throws the WHOLE theory off.

Also, Ran isn't Oni. She's about as much Oni as Benten is. I forgot what it's called that she was patterned after, but it was some kind of energy vampire like creature from Japanese folklore.

[UruseiNeo]

nice one with the invader thing

also I don't use "eh" as much as you think. TV shows really exaggerate with that and make us sound dumb.

[sidzero]

Then it must just be people from Minnesota, Wisconsin, and almost every Canadian I'VE ever met.

[UruseiNeo]

I said AS MUCH as you think.

Now... let's wait for a new chapter, kinda crowding his topic

[Forgotten_Lum]

nice to know that there's a fellow canadian that disagrees with the americans stereotyping canadians, i almost never say "eh", only time i do say it is when i want to act like the total canadian stereotype

anyway, datcha is used at the end to sound cute, usually used by children a generation or two ago, not too common now a days

anyway back on topic, i hope you hurry with the next chapter, it is a interesting story and when i first read it on fanfiction i thought it was dead so please hurry

[kyo]

 Forgotten_Lum I never ever killls my fanfics, (the fornlon one has to die it was getting insane but I fix that...sorta) and I do have one problem with the fanfic. I dont' know how to finished it  ??? that why I said two weeks.

but a lighter note I do have (and I kid you not) 56 ways to end the story.

[sidzero]

You know, there's an easy way to decide which ending you could use...

Write a list of all these ideas for endings you have.
Make sure you number each and every one of these ideas (trust me, it's easier to keep track of that way).
Now, set them up in a tournament bracket type of thing.
Next, acquire yourself a coin of some sort (I prefer silver dollars, but even a penny would do).
Finally, start flipping said coin for every matchup in the tournament, and let the winner be your choice.



Or you can go with the power of democracy. If you can sum up your endings in extremely short descriptions (like a sentence or two), then just form up a poll here and let the people decide. Actually, that just gave me a really awesome idea that I'm going to have to try someday if I'm ever a famous writer of some sort. Come up with the basic idea of the story, and at certain points in the story, just stop, and let fans decide what should happen next. I'll probably never do it cause I'm a control freak, but it could be cool. Reminds me of when I was a kid, and DC comics let fans vote whether or not to kill off Robin. It worked out pretty well.
