Huh.
Wolverine ftw.
X-men Origins: Wolverine looks awesome.

Yet again:

What happened to discussing the Bartimaeus prequel?

Since when did you care so much about on-topicness, I don't remember you being that strict of an adherent.
It'd be nice for the prequel to see how the Makepeace treachery was constructed.

You're right that I'm not an on-topic guy, but I would rather get back on topic than discuss comic book movies.

You know what would be cool? A compilation of the different kinds of spirits throughout the series, plus the different spells they cast.

Playing into my BT Encyclopedia thing.
I must've first said that here AGES ago...
When did I join?
Maybe a couple months after that or something.

There was an attempt to make one here, however lack of activity combined with the sheer amount of content that would have to be covered resulted in the idea being trashed.

And, seeing as how you're the only one interested (I've got school to deal with), I guess that'd be a no-go for now.
Try bugging whatshisnuts... Stroud, there we go.

What you could've done is said that last line in your head instead of typing it, so you could've perhaps escaped the wrath of the Great Foliot Stroud.

Maybe the prequel should be about Bartimaeus' Previous masters such as in depth of Solomon or Ptolemy? I think that would be interesting.

Yeah my idea was for an epic of Bartimaeus' life, with litlte side stories and footnotes on the people and spirits he meets.
Like why Faquarl of Sparta got that specific title and what exactly he did at Troy.
Well, not exactly, since it'd be Bart and others reiterating it, but you get what I mean.

Maybe a small prequel with separate chapters of Bartimaeus, Faquarl and maybe Jabor, just like we have Kitty, Nathaniel, and Barty chapters in the series.

I think someone has a lot to learn from this forum.

I'll stick around for a few dozen days and see if I am struck with any flash of knowledge.

Aside from how screwed the human race is, and the depths of insanity and/or stupidty attainable by aforementioned species, you won't get much.
