Mappalujo. A story/writing experiment by Jeff Noon and Steve Beard. Created using these rules.

  • i think mappalujo is only a blue feather
  • I don't remember this one at all. Interesting!
  • Wasn't Jeff Noon the guy who wrote Bone?
  • No, I think that's Jeff Smith. He's finished the story now, and there are massive Complete Bone books out. I want to get it, to finish the story, but they are paperback, and I just don't know if the spine is strong enough to hold the 400+ pages in. (I don't reall know how many pages, but it looked really really thick). I actually have a question, tracicle, if you ever come back - some very long time ago I sent a CD with Books of Magic on it to you, did you ever receive it? I never knew if you did, or if customs stopped it, and kept forgetting to ask.
  • Jeff Noon wrote (among other things) the incomparable Vurt, from which our Gamecat took his handle.
  • La la la.
  • Don't let nickdanger get away.
  • Oh yeah! I have it somewhere, but I'd completely forgotten about it until you mentioned it. I'll have to dig it out and read them -- I started but got sidetracked. And thanks, very belatedly. :)
  • I'm glad. I got worried after I sent it that the customs officials would have stopped it, because I forgot to mark what it was on the package. I have had the manga of Nausicaa for over a year, and still haven't unzipped it. BofM is interesting, but inconclusive - I don't know if the series went on, but those don't wholly finish the story.
