Hey Tom & Veronica!

I just found out about you guys, and Geek & Sundry, in general. I’m super stoked: to hear Gaimen and Dick being thrown out there brings warm fuzzies to my book-lovin’ heart. I enjoy what (be it your personality and literary smarts) and who (the authors!) your bring to the table. Can’t wait for the next installment.

As for a dragon name, how about “Gelf”? 

A gelf can be a elven creature (sword); a genetically enhanced life form (laser); or can be anything you want it to be (in our line of business, imagination is everything). See Urban Dictionary for more details. A-a-a-nd, for bonus points, it was a Gelfling that merged the Skexis and urRu into one awesome whole- just like you guys have have brought the sword and laser communities together and the yet-to-be-named dragon seems to be half traditional dragon and half… MechaGodzilla. =) 

Anyway, you rock.

Sincerely,

Aaron
