*floating in, in her usual vague, elf-like manner*
Well, if you consider *my* user name, you'll understand why I'm asking...
Why Oberon?

As I think you've guessed, my username/nickname is from 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' by good old Will Shakespeare. I called myself it because one of my interests/things I do for money is act, so it seemed appropriate. The 2001 part (if you're interested) is from 2001:A Space Oddessy by Arthur C Clarke, who, I think, was a great writer and thinker.
Silly I know, but I can't really think of anything else!

I like Arthur C Clarke too - and Isaac Asimov!
...I especially enjoyed reading some of Clarke's short stories - there was one about skin colour - have you read it?

Hmmmm... don't know - I borrowed the book containing a collection of Clarke's short stories from a library - translated into Swedish...
*wondering if she'd manage to find it googling*

Hmmmm... no, didn't find it... if I remember it correctly, there was also this story about a young man who had been freezed and then revived in the future, discovering that all risks had been eliminated - but he was an adventurous type, and *wanted* to take risks - and so they inoculated him with bubonic plague...

I've haven't read either of them!
They sound good though, so I might try and track a copy down.

A complete change of subject: you thanked me in one of my journals for getting you into Nationstates - what's the name of your country?

Land of the Morris Dancers I think (no idea why, just is).
Probably been deleted now, I haven't had the chance to update it recently.
