Letter limits on ficsuits,

I am stuck on about 20 letters or so for my ficsuit, which of course should be adequate, but hey, I wanna join the long amusing ficsuit clique that rules this board, and be pithy and sarcastic and clever and stuff.

Whats the gig with the long names, brethren? Where do I do the initiation? I am ready for candles in any orifice.

Like whom? It seems like a pretty standard 30-characters+spaces limit, with no limits on the lengths of individual words within those... who's got a long one, then?

I believe that if you haven't changed your suit name since the length limitation came in, you can still have a long name. Don't think there's another way.

I miss being The Haus where Peter Purves offers Reece's Pieces to the nervous verger and his virgin nieces, but that's life.

All lies.

In fact, everyone else is allowed really really long names and you're not. And we point at you and laugh.

Like whom?

Harrison Ford, in a battlesuit, wheels for feet, knives and guns.

Just for starters.

Yeah but he's an old school degenerate who should be treated with asbestos mittens.

I've always thought single word suit names to be the refined choice...

I wouldn't be adverse to having the name limit be a bit longer. Like, maybe just one letter longer. Because I was supposed to be Sean, the fruminous Bandersnatch, but now I can't have the comma and I look like I have no idea how grammar works.

Bandersnatches should be shunned, not seaned.

I thought it was a clever pun, Sean. Now I'm all disillusioned.

And so we witness the pun's final dissolution.

Hey! I'm pretty clever, don't worry. I just want to be witty with the proper punctuation, is all.

Hell, I'm suprised someone actually got it. Assuming you did get it, mister(?) Sekmet, and are not just bluffing to look cool in front of your friends.

And, for the record, I think Mister Six whom all the girls fancy and the boys envy but the schoolteachers let get away with it has the record for longest ficsuit name.

(*snort*)

No chance that was getting past me. You're not slithy, mimsy nor frumious enough.

I memorized "Jabberwocky" when I was about twelve. It's the sort of thing you do for fun when you're a geeky adolescent with no friends...

WAAAAAGH! It's all true. I could even recite Humpty Dumpty's explanation of the first two verses.
