I have been trying to write a book for God knows how long, and 'Shadow And Feather' was the working title for a long time, that is no longer the title, but I have stuck with it nevertheless, on other games I will continue to use the name 'ShadowAndFeather' or 'Xenlans' which is the name of a fictional Island in the book

Some years ago I was looking for a unique name to use in all annonymous accounts hence forth -an online persona if you will- but i wanted a single verb that sounded cool. Most such words have already been taken by the kids of the internet but (thanks parents once again for my large vocabulary) I realised that no one used the word swath(e). This peculiar (Middle English) word with almost interchangable spelling refers to the strip of crop cut with a scyth(1475) and later extended anything compared to grass/corn falling before the scyth(1852). Not to be confused with swathe, a surgical bandage(1615) or the act of wraping something(1856)
Pronunciation: See Wen thEy THey
S.O.E.D 1983

Yeah, I'd love to see it. Fantasy is my most read genre. WoT, Mistborn, etc. love them. Email it to carstar@gmail.com and I'll let you know what I think.
