WELCOME TO (E)MERGING IDEAS
You've somehow stumbled upon my little collection of ideas and dreams that I can impress upon webspace. The menu to the left will take you through what each of my current sites and projects are about, although it's almost guarenteed that never will everything be up and running at the same time as I tend to flit from interest to interest.UPDATES
july / 2007(e)merging ideas has been sitting somewhat dormant until now, but is now in possession of a slicker revamp of the old layout, and updated project information.
march / 2006
(e)merging ideas is up and running for the first time.
GUILDMERGE.NET
GuildMerge.net is currently named (e)merging ideas and features the actress Zooey Deschanel of Almost Famous and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy fame. Graphics from Zooey Deschanel and brushes from Miss M.GuildMerge.net first saw the light of day in March of 2006. The purpose is relatively simple, it's a collective site. GuildMerge will probably always stay a collective, although it happily plays host to various subsites and projects as well.
WHY GUILDMERGE?
Well you might be wondering what this weird word guildmerge is if you're not familiar with Isobelle Carmody. Isobelle Carmody is an Australian fantasy author and one of my longer-lasting fangirl obsessions.So, what does GuildMerge mean? Carmody Online defines the guildmerge as:
The decision-making body made up of guildmaster or guildmistress, guilden and ward of all guilds at Obernewtyn, and chaired by Rushton Seraphim, Master of Obernewtyn.
The various guilds and groups in Obernewtyn essentially meet up and 'merge' their ideas, for want of a clearer explanation or actually reading the books.
As far as the purpose of the site goes, I thought it was a fitting choice, and it's nice to have a small tribute to my largest ever author and book obsessions (Carmody's Obernewtyn Chronicles being the books in question) hanging around.
