<div><br></div><div>Hi,</div><div><br></div><div>Who is the current Beginner's Grammarian? Is the KLBC (Klingon Language Beginner's Corner) still a thing?</div><div><br></div><div>Just wondering because lately the mailing list seems to be dominated by Qov (with her gigantic epic) and myself (with my much less epic translations of short stories). It occurred to me that any lurkers or beginners just skimming the list might be intimidated by the deluge of posts containing paragraph after paragraph of Klingon with very little English. The only other kind of post seems to be debates about finer points of grammar, which again is not exactly friendly to newcomers. Either way, someone who is new to Klingon and just started following the mailing list now may get the mistaken impression that there is no place for beginners, which is certainly not the case.</div>
<div><br></div><div>So, in the interest of encouraging beginners to participate, if you're lurking, please introduce yourself and briefly tell us something about yourself in Klingon. </div><div><br></div><div>Also, what do people think of my short story translations? I'm basically going through a book (Paul Reps' Zen Flesh, Zen Bones), which I happen to have, but if anyone is interested in another genre or whatever I'm open to suggestions. I was also considering posting a paragraph or a few sentences at a time rather than an entire story, if that would make the text less intimidating to read and encourage more feedback.</div>
