Mouser is easy enough to figure out, but all my life I've been baffled by Fafhrd, and I don't hang around people who talk about these guys. I suppose I could have asked Anderson or Silverberg or someone like that back when I lived in the Bay Area, but I never thought to. Could you maybe, even in the article itself, give us a clue as to how this really weird-looking name might be pronounced? Thanks! (In fact, now that I think of it, *especially* in the article, this info should be known.)

Revision as of 15:05, 2 May 2010
This page is a labour of love. Everything is cut from whole cloth - there has been no reference to external websites except for ISFDB which I've used as my source work for publishing details (still to be added).
Clearly the sections on Nehwon and Lankhmar can be greatly expanded, and probably need a page of their own. It was not my intent here to major on those subjects - the main thrust here is to provide precis (what's the plural of precis? My mind's gone blank) of the F&GM stories in the context of the published canon which sets them out in order, before I put the books up for sale on ebay.
Once I've done this I may move on to Conan. Take that, if you please, as a Dire Warning. ;-) I'm having incredible fun here. --Matthew Simon Quartermain 09:55, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
