  It's raining - and yes, I do know that tonight is midsummer night, not Saturday, but who's counting? And, besides, who wants to celebrate anything on a rainy Monday night? Exactly.

's' has a TLJ related question:

Why did Flipper have to die? I was rather amused by the feller myself. He was pretty much the only person that was not written by you. Everybody else had the same little quirks of diction and syntax, except Flipper. I guess he too, to an extent suffered that fate, but it was gentler than in all the other characters. That is not why I liked him, though. Can you bring him back? You're the writer, employ some magnificent deus ex machina. Do something, man. Flipper must live, damnit!

The Flipper had to die because he was a potty mouth. It was God's just punishment. That's why we never use four-letter words, kids! Only infidels and homosexuals say "f**k".

Or maybe he had to die because the story required a sacrifice. What, you'd rather April had died instead? Someone had to die, dammit.

Every single line of dialogue in the game was written by me (good thing I have a co-writer now), including the Flipper's profanity-laden discourses, but the actor, Andrew Donnelly, jazzed it up a bit and did some light improv, with great (if raunchy) results. The reason he sounds a bit different from the other characters? Well, he was an original. Dead now, though. Likely to stay that way, too. Unless I employ some "magnificent deus ex machina".

I have a question about this book..
Was it written in english, or first in norwegian ?
And, anyway, is there a norwegian version ?
I'm studying now norwegian language, but it is just a start, and i'm in search
of intresting books in norwegian now.
I've started to read english version, and thinked of norwegian :-)


Sorry, Stepan - Prophet Without Honour was written in English, and there's no Norwegian translation (nor will there ever be). Not that it helps much, but I believe the book is currently being translated into Russian, and I think there's already a Japanese version out there somewhere - correct me if I'm wrong, people. Good luck learning Norwegian!

Fake or Foto? I got nine out of ten. Good, bad - I'm the guy with the gun.
