Lair
Language
In
the rush to get published it often happens that
we incur type errors and the odd spelling mistake.
Our policy has always been more 'Sniffin' Glue'
than 'The Times On Sunday' .
The
first ever dictionary of the English Language
was only published in 1755. It was an attempt
to standardise the spelling of words so that
everybody could then read what others wrote.
Before the dictionary Olde English as it is
now known took priority, with spellings changing
from place to place along with local pronounciation
and accent.
There
was no standard way to spell words. So long
as the message could be read and its sense was
clear, the variation in spelling was unimportant.
The dictionary simply marked a point in linguistics
from which we are able to agree or disagree
on word spelling as we see fit.
English
Literature as a topic of study did not come
into being until the late 1890's. Occasionally
we do use Olde English here at the Lair, and
we see no reason why we shouldn't.

Fantasy
& Fiction Theme Of The Lair
Our
home page is and shall continue to be an artistic
conception. Though real images have been used
to create it, and other pages in the Lair, we
stress that our Lair is a fictional creation,
in the fictional setting of the
Dominion Of El-Dan.
The emphasis here is on interactivity and the
conception of the design was intended to stimulate
the imagination of the viewer.
We
believe that if you're here and reading this
then its because you actually want to be visiting
our site. If you want to be here, we believe
your prepared to spend a little time looking
around the place. We aim to make that as interesting
and entertaing an experience as possible. Expect
regular changes.
Though
initially started in embryo over at EDIT Forums
during Dec 2002 - 2003 the seeds for the concept
of the look of the Lair strech much further
back to the time of my youth.

Though
some artistic liberty may be taken with a subtle
blending of fact with fiction in Lair story
lines, all articles, essays, features and reviews
are free from the fictional theme and concept
of our viewer orientated presentation.
Those
who helped develop the characters I'll be establishing
here, over at EDIT, thank you. Like as not I
may include you somewhere at some time.
