h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

OK, what whould you say if I'd just open a blank page for the TP threads and write the actual page later? Then we can have as many threads as we need and I'd really say we need at least an extra award thread.

Can we move this thread there? Or shall we use it for discussions on grandmothers' underwear shops?

I think it's a great idea! Make a page, and you can have as many threads as you like (including underwear).

Which reminds me: Discworld fashion advice.

OK, I just create a new entry where the TP thing will be. Give me a few minutes.

Never says that much about fashion, but I think it's generally fantasy medieval. Although I really like his practical description of Hrenna the Henna-Haired Barbarian, who goes in for clothing, not something that looks like it belongs on a horse's head rather than a woman's behind... And, of course, there's the very frilly wizards' robes, Sam Vimes' dislike of shiny breastplates and witches' liking for black...

Tavaron, you are going to put some graphics and commentary on the page, aren't you? And can we contribute in any way to its looks?

Of course, that's the first sentece I've just written: I'm open for all suggestions abouth the design of this page.

So if you want anything on it: tell me. If you find nice pictures: give me the code.

Here's one of Death:



I'm still looking, I know another good one.

I'll go look for some more, too. What are you calling the page to distinguish it from the others?

Here it is:



Also, please cut and paste the rules for the BS Johnson Awards, so people will see them and hopefully have some ideas.

The Death picture is in already, I'll add the other one too. I may warn you: at first this page will be as messy as the frog page was... is?

No problem. We can troubleshoot. Also, it's getting late.

It's art in progress. Who knows, do it well enough and you might qualify for the award. How's that? a really annoyingly badly made page with barely ledgible writing and stuff?

I'll betertry not to do that I think

This looks fairly Ankh-Morporkian:



A BS Johnson-type BS Johnson page? Could work.

no, if you do it on purpose it's art. But making it bad on purpose would disqualify you from the prize, I suppose...

This picture reminds me too much of the computer game Myst, or better: it looks exactely like it.

Yes, now I know. I think it's the first part of Myst, my computer always crashes when I'm down at the seashore.

Oh, then leave it out.

Which categories did we have for the award? I can't find the post.
