Haha. I really should crack open the old Latin textbook one of these days. Such a neat, challenging language, and I've gone and forgotten it all.

I've never read dictionaries, though.

[Karl]

The plots can be hard to follow...

[Dangerbutton]

I'm very impressed with Mr. Webster's prose however. His use of alliterations is impressive. So many words that start with A. . . .

[Silk]

Indeed! One would almost think he had some sort of aid to finding so many words that begin with the same letter...

[Manyang]

Fatalchemie sounds as though it could be a strong enough premise to carry a complete novel in itself. And a pretty cool one at that.

[Karl]

Fatalchemie makes me think of the less successful alchemists, may they rest in peace...

Of course, if you are aiming for punny a la Xanth, et al, then have fun with it.

[Manyang]

Just to be sure, I was referring to the idea behind it, which has a nigh unlimited potential for chaos and mayhem in it.
The name itself reeks of people famous for the wrong reasons.

[Dangerbutton]

You know, I'll admit that I haven't really thought much of the possibilities with the Fatalchemy. I'm afraid that, at the time, I do not plan on having it play a very large part in my story. However, that could change.  I do intend to write more stories from this same setting, though, so I'm bound to use it at some point.
As for the sound of the name. . . I agree with Karl. It just sounds..... hazardous. That was one of the names that I really wanted to change up.... we'll see what happens.

[Silk]

I was gonna say, just because it's a cool idea doesn't mean it has to go in THIS book. You might be doing the both the book and the idea a disservice, if you tried...

But that's for you to judge, not me. ~^

Very true. It will probably only be showing up a handful of times in this book.
