Since I am posting updates, I am posting an update of something I did not do:  The aforementioned M. J. Young bio slated to appear on the GROG website has apparently posted.  It is, of course, in French.

I’ve also learned that GROG stands for Guide du Roliste Galactique, which is roughly Roleplayer’s Guide to the Galaxy (although I, with my extremely limited linguistic legerdemain, would have made it Guide of the Roleplayer Galaxy but as I told them, je parle un tres petit peux de francais–which for those who have less skill in the language than I comes to I speak one very little bit of French).

I’m wondering whether it would be appropriate to publish the English translation of the bio here as an article or interview.  Thoughts?

I am always forgetting that I did things which are relevant to what I am doing; maybe it is because a statement like that makes little sense anyway.

In this case, I spent a long time filling out a questionnaire for a bio page about, of all people, me, for a French website, GROG.  I do not know the meaning of the anagram, but expect it is in French.  Yesterday I reviewed an English version of the completed bio, which the administrator hopes to have posted (in French) by sometime next week.

I also forwarded the questionnaire to someone on our staff who ought to be included, although I think there are probably a few more people to whom I ought to forward it.  One about whom I have already asked is Eric “Tadeusz” “World-a-Week” Ashley, but my e-mail software does not seem to be able to find his e-mail address.  Eric, if you drop me a note I’ll send this to you–from what they say, your self-published efforts qualify you for inclusion in their board.

So if we have any French participants here, let me know how it reads in French.
