Qu's Marsh :: We put the "Q" in "Qu"

Qu. Qu's Marsh is an awful lot like Cosmo Canyon, isn't it? Why are you calling it Qu's Marsh instead of Cosmo Canyon?

A. First of all, the Cosmo Canyon name is just old -- I'd rather use something more up-to-date :). A new name also gives me a fresh start for the site's feel and design. While I certainly plan to include many similar kind of features, I'd rather not feel compelled to clone CC.

Plus, naming the site "Qu's Marsh" allows me to make all sorts of witty Qu-related puns. For example, I've replaced every "Q" in this Q&A page with "Qu." GET IT!?!?! Man, sometimes I kill me. (Sadly enough, this page still contains more humor value than a year's worth of User Friendly.)

Qu. What the hell happened to [parasite EEVEE]?

A. Good question :). Large weekly serialized chapters of a plot-heavy fanfic ended up being a lot more work than I expected, and the site basically collapsed on itself before it ever really got started. I'm trying to avoid

Fortunately, [parasite EEVEE] had its organ donor card signed, and most of its major elements have been transplated into various in-the-works fanfic projects. Once I've finished gutting [parasite EEVEE] of all its decent ideas, I'll post a plot outline of it so you can finally find out what was supposed to happen :).

Qu. Is Qu's Marsh going to have Feature X from Cosmo Canyon?

A. Quite possibly, yes. Let me know what you'd like to see on the page; assuming it's not hopelessly out of date, it'll probably find its way online eventually.

Qu. Where has the Dictionary of RPG Clichés gone?

A. The Dictionary of RPG Clichés will return soon in a greatly-expanded form on GIA. (The same goes for the Name Origins list, although that's more of a long-term project.)

Qu. Are you still working for the GIA?

A. Yes. This is just a side-project.

Qu. Can I use Item X on my site?

A. Sure. You're more than welcome to use anything from Qu's Marsh as long as you don't impose any additional restrictions on its distribution.

Qu. Outside of The Mailbag, you don't have any reader-submitted content right now. Is this going to change?

A. Yes :).

Qu. Will you link to my site?

A. No. I don't even have a links page and I don't plan to create one. This is a personal pet peeve of mine, so please stop asking ;).

Qu. Where did your FAQs go? Are you going to be doing any more?

A. My FAQs are in semi-permanent political exile due to the actions of a certain site. Unless the situation changes, I'm not going to be doing anything else FAQ-related. Sorry. (Sometime I'll write up a full litany of my issues with Jeff Veasey's Evil Empire. But in the mean time, it's suffice to say that I'm not a very happy camper.)

Qu. Do you know why I stopped the car?

A. You... forgot... to close... the door! Ahhh, yep, it never gets old.

Qu. None of the graphics on Qu's Marsh are loading. What's up with that?

A. Your browser probably doesn't support the PNG file format. Download a more recent version of your browser and you should be fine. (Visit the Burn All GIFs Campaign for information on why Qu's Marsh does not use the GIF file format.)

Qu. Do you use ICQ?

A. No. I don't use ICQ, AIM, or any other instant messaging programs, so you'll have to stick with old-fashioned e-mail. Sorry.

Qu. Can you send me File X from your site?

A. Unless there's some special circumstance, you should be able to get it off the site as well as I can ;). If there's some weird problem preventing you from downloading it, then, sure, just e-mail me and I'll be happy to send it along.

Qu. Dude, my friend told me that he read on this site that some guy said you told some other guy you hate Xenogears. Is that true?

A. For the last time: No, I don't hate Xenogears. Please stop asking me; it makes the happy orange clown not visit me. The happy orange clown knows the secrets of the universe and brings me lovely chocolated-covered caraway seeds in my dreams, he does.

Qu. Why doesn't Crono talk?

A. Insect politics.
