Do any of you have friends that make languages/worlds/etc. that you personally know? I don't have many, but our community is growing... Šeyk hašaluukišahee. _________________ Iwocwá ĵọṭãsák.

I haven't shown my friends my scripts, and I never talk to them about conscript and such... they're not that interested, I guess! |

I am the only one I have ever met to make a conscript, but a few make conlangs and more make conworlds. _________________ Iwocwá ĵọṭãsák.

No one that I know apart from you guys do it. We, unlike them, must be very artistically unique. |

We aren't just artistically unique, we're superior!
In our school, my teacher and I ran classes to see who is interested in making scripts/languages/worlds/etc, and more than 10 people joined. I was the only one to make a script... _________________ Iwocwá ĵọṭãsák.

No. Everyone I know who does this is someone I've met only on the internet, no-where else.
When I lived in Houston I sometimes attended an SF writers' group led by Justin Lieber (Fritz Lieber's son). Everyone there but me was a "real writer" in the sense that they had written more than one thing they'd submitted for publication; most had actually published more than one story and were well into or nearing completion of a novel.
So I guess they were conworlders and conculturers, but not conlangers AFAICR. |

StrangeMagic, you may find it a bit hard. Out of a camp of 230 people, I only found one person. But I did rule out lots of people. For example, I ruled out the people that actually danced at the dances during the camp... _________________ Iwocwá ĵọṭãsák.

I see! I'll try and look around. We often get little writing sessions or reading sessions where I might see people reading Fantasy or SF and maybe they would conlang/world/culture. Would be nice to find someone I think! |

My advice is:
Try. Try very hard. Expect the unexpected. If you're lucky, you may find someone. _________________ Iwocwá ĵọṭãsák.

Tsiasuk-Pron, well known on this board, the ZBB, and conlanger.com as the creator of Itlani, has been my friend for about 10 years now in real life. Long before we both joined any of those boards, in fact. And even before he joined CONLANG-L (back when both he and I were on that).
Outside of that, I have met other conlangers/conworlders, but always having known them on the ZBB first. _________________ Dwirze ghárìlen ershónyá áqálán.

I wish you luck, StrangeMagic.
Halyihev, you are lucky.
How about we all plan a meeting? _________________ Iwocwá ĵọṭãsák.

LOL. I am guessing that quite a lot of you are in America? I'm in England, so... I probably won't decide to spend money on a flight to America. |

Gee, you have good shuttle line coverage. I've been waiting for the next shuttle to Alurhna for years, but they don't make a lot of stops on this spiral arm of the Milky Way... _________________ Dwirze ghárìlen ershónyá áqálán.
