    Todd: Raw, yes, but pliable...?

    Steve: I'm as pliable as TP wants me to be!

    Todd: Ah yes, I see... but I think you mean FLEXIBLE!!!!

They have also ploughed a great deal into SGU, hung much on its success, and if that fails then they really are further up the proverbial poop creek without a paddle than we could have imagined.

      Face it, fellow Worshippers, if we want the Wraith then [B]we[B] have to keep 'em going by writing and thinking about them.
      At the moment, yes, but who knows what will happen when things turn better? The hope is feeble but as long as there will be a strict no, the hope will be there!

      At the mean time: thinking, drawing and writing the Wraith ^^ (Well, I let drawing to more talented )

      And then my stupid question of the day. I have been thinking this weeks: how is a word wraith written? With capital letter or without? I have seen both and I don't know which one is right. I know, with my grammar errors it doesn't stick out, but I want to know

            If that's what's on Kenny's iPod I'm gonna have to reprogram it in the time honoured fashion that uses a hammer.

              Reporting for duty! *salutes*

              May our writing and drawing passions and, of course, video-making and costume passions be eternally inspired by the awesomeness that is the Wraith.

                Ahem... *puts editor's hat on*

                IMHO it doesn't really matter. Some people argue that the word denotes their race and so should have a capital - Wraith, as in Na'vi or Navajo. Other people (myself included) argue that the word is simply what their species is called and so should not have a capital - wraith, as in humans or sheep.
                As with many things in the English language - which is constantly evolving and changing - there is room for manoeuvre and opinion, so I would say go with whatever you're comfortable with.

                The only thing I would say is that I've always considered the word to be unaltered by pluralisation - one wraith, two wraith as in a flock of sheep, since two wraiths sounds as odd as a flock of sheeps.
                That may be because of my Celtic background, where wraith are spectral beings and more than one wraith are still just several wraith.
                Em... hope that makes sense!

                    It's funny, 'cause the Wraith group on dA has more members than ever

                    I always thought it was the same singular as plural. I think by giving the Wraith a capital letter it's more about representing all that they represent, not just the name of their race. Plus, I have the novellisation of Rising and it's spelt with a capital in there.

                              Make notes!!!!
                              Always keep a notebook in your handbag/purse/pocket/beside your bed/in your desk at work/or all of the above... that way when inspiration strikes you can scribble it down - you ALWAYS have time to scribble a few keywords!

                                Another Wraith group - I've been very slow - do you have a hyperlink to the dA group PA?

                                I agree - I've always capitalise it for the same reason.
