Q: Is the language in The Night Land an accurate representation of any dialect of early Modern English?
I'm searching for a book I've read during the mid-90s in German. But I think the book was older, maybe classic Science Fiction and was translated from English.
What I remember from the plot:
It starts with a common man who just lived his life but the life has started to fall into pieces. He has...
Whilst doing research for my answer to the question: Has Donald Duck ever had any love interest besides Daisy? I found out about Donna Duck. Donna appears a few times before eventually apparently being merged into Daisy Duck to be the same character.

What I remember:
A king has a bizarre way of judging crimes in his kingdom. The accused is given the ch...
There is a vague idea that Obi-wan and Queen of Mandalore had a thing, but this isn't properly addressed in the Clone Wars series AFAIK.

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote up my thoughts on staying vs quitting, for all conflicted users including myself. Now, having thought through all the issues involved and discussed with my fellow mods, I've decided to resume moderating. Here's a few of the important thoughts which led me...
Here is the quote from the Sandman Companion, pp. 181 - 182:
Neil Gaiman: Next is "The Golden Boy," my Horatio Alger story, of which I'm very fond.
