Other-Zanna was Dragon Age Zanna, who is an elven bloodmage. She will be threaded shortly, because I have lost control of my life.
Unrecognizable tattooed lady is a friend's Star Wars OC with whom I had a very brief sandbox. Followed by the League, followed by an unpleasant ableist dragon, followed by a shren in bird form and several daemons and also some people who just happen to be talking birds.

For some reason 'league of tiny men' made me picture the Nac Mac Feegle instead of Mileses.
Wait, no, there can't be Feegles, they don't know how to leave bars.

There could be Feegles if they came into Milliways from a different bar. Then instead of leaving a bar when they left Milliways, they would be entering a bar, which I bet they do know how to do.

And what about the talking birds? Anything interesting about them? (of course, they’re in Milliways, but is there anything developed about them or are they just an offhand reference?)

As I said, mostly they were sundry daemons. I'm prepared to declare the rest Redwallian birds, though. If only because the idea of Redwall's creatures interacting with a larger multiverse is kind of hilarious to me.

Oh my gosh Redwallers in Milliways. That would literally be the best thing I've ever read.

Huh... I guess it makes sense that Milliways translates Redwallian birds'
funetic aksents in a way that people other than precocious protagonists can interpret. (warning: link contains mindvirus)
The concept in general is pretty amusing, yeah. I quickly lost interest in Redwall (too formulaic and you could accurately identify a character as good/evil, effective/useless, loyal/traitorous, etc. by species 95% of the time) but it *would* be fully to see Milliways-ish folks interact with them.
EDIT: How do I make this forum turn arbitrary text into a URL? The usual BBCode approach I've used before - [url="http://..."]text[/url] doesn't seem to work here.
EDIT2: OK, so you need to omit the quotation marks. That's weird, but thanks for the tip!

You drop the quotes:
Code: Select all
[url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FunetikAksent]Funetik Aksent[/url]
I guess if your URL is too fancy to be parsed that way (the TVTropes one isn’t), you need to percent-escape it.

Yes, you do. You have Draconic.
