> Don't forget Victoria Fromkin (Blade I)...
Don't forget that a member of this very list (whose identity I *keep*
forgetting, try as I might to remember it -- was it Matt Pearson?) was
approached to reconstruct Fromkin's work for Blade II, but the deal
fell apart over money wranglings (essentially they offered as a *total*
fee the amount the linguist in question basically felt was suitable
*per hour*), and the vampires in the second film (I don't know about
the third, as I still have yet to see it) speak "subtitled gibberish"
unrelated to Fromkin's language.
A reasonable amount of fun was had at the time, producing competing
transliterations and interlinears of the dialog from Blade I.

Cool! We should compose files for everyone of us interested listing
the typical design and esthetic principles etc., so that SciFi
producers could search the right conlanger. :-))))
Or, no, no, these files must not be on the web. The *Guild* must have
its homepage just like any ordinary company -- no listing of members
on it, just a contact form.

Except that it should be called the "Language constructors'
Guild", so that people know what it's all about.
Somebody should set up a webpage which gives hits on
"Created language", "Constructed language",
"Fictional language" and all other thinkable synonyms.
