Name change[edit]

Regarding the name change, it first came to public light through the byline of this publication: http://www.eos-press.com/downloads/UnlikelyFlowerings.pdf She provided the first public confirmation in http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?p=8547168#post8547168 this thread, specifically posts #51 and #35. I've done a quick chop at editing this fact in, but obviously the article still needs some work, it mostly calls her by the old moniker. I've left it off because R. Sean Borgstrom still has much more name recognition, and she hasn't really begun insisting on the new name yet for that reason. (I am also the anonymous editor who made the first changes about the new name, I forgot to log on.) Nentuaby (talk) 08:59, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Question[edit]

Without trying to sound rude, what the hell is the deal with Hitherby Dragons? Is it some kind of really well-played alternate-reality game? Is everybody involved slightly off their rocker? Is everyone BSing the entire time?

Seriously, I don't want to insult anyone, but after reading the Hitherby page, and this article, I still can't make sense of any of it. What is going on?KrytenKoro 09:42, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hitherby Dragons is a wide-ranging exercise in creative fiction. Jenna (R.S.B.'s new name, see above) has said she thinks of it as a "text-based web comic." Don't worry, parts of it which seem to be unconnected probably are. ;) Nentuaby (talk) 09:32, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Specifically, Hitherby is a bunch of stories told by Jane, a little girl, and the troupe of actors that live with her in a tower. Anything that happens in Hitherby is a story that Jane is telling to try and figure out the world. EXCEPT: histories (things that happened in Hitherby in the past- these entries have roman numerals) and canon entries (stuff happening in Jane's world right now- marked with ordinary numbers). Once you read enough entries, patterns start to emerge- a lot of the things that go on involve taking one intellectual property (ex. Rainbow Bright) and mixing it with another genre or setting (ex. noir). Rand Brittain (talk) 04:02, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

She got her first degree with 14? 1998 would make more sense... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.113.222.80 (talk) 14:11, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

1988 is correct. R. Sean was a prodigy. Thanlis (talk) 18:40, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Turns out that's right, but her birth year's wrong. She was born 1972.

I added a sentence to the paragraph about Dr. Moran being a controversial writer, so that it mentions the opinions of fans as well as critics. I don't think it alters the spirit of the paragraph too far. Is this specific enough to require attribution? I'm sure a proper quote could be found.

I don't know how to use wikipedia properly, but this seems relevant[edit]

The section about her name might need restructuring, good luck. https://twitter.com/JennaKMoran/status/1307480859201527810 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.2.20.160 (talk) 00:57, 20 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Restoring link to Moran's professional web page[edit]

@Primefac: Prior to your substantial revision in January of 2022, there were a number of helpful links to Moran's works and history on line. While I can understand removal of many of the forum posts etc., the link to Moran's professional page was also removed: https://afarandasunlessland.wordpress.com/ . This page holds an up to date record of their ongoing projects and work, and seems like a quit pertinent and valuable resource for anyone wishing to know about this author.

What conditions would be required to restore this reference to the page in a way that would comply with Wikipedia guidelines and best practices? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shonfeder (talk • contribs) 19:43, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No requirements, I think I just missed the fact that it was Moran's page because her name does not appear on any of the major pages (Home, Contact Us, About Us, etc). Primefac (talk) 10:47, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
