  Marvelish move!", and immediately committed suicide to preserve his

If it Helps here is a FORM to fill out when submitting a character to

to reply to something already posted, than to have to type in their 
E-mail Address...  SO... instead of typing sl859@cc.usu.edu or Scav's

mention on the ROSTER.  REMEMBER, Submit this ONLY AFTER having posted 
an issue of LNH- THE LEGION OF NET HEROES!!!

the Roster is the Final Reality for LNH/V he sorta dictates what is final

Additional Notes:  RosterwReam, naive sidekick, is usually so busy that no

P.S.  BTW, HOPEFULLY we will eventually be able to put all the entries into

and with whom they are associated.  Oh and BTW, to DRITZZSAT... How is the

Organization: Utah State University

RosterwReam  sat smiling at his new found responsibility...  The LNH roster
was now his to deal with.  At least for the next version.  Being List Lad's
sidekick was difficult but he had somehow proven himself worthy to appear on
the new roster.  "Oh Boy!  List Lad!  I promise I won't let you down!!"
	"You had better not!"  List Lad drilled RosterwReam with his 
authoritative lecturing technique.
	"Oh I am going to do the very very best!"  young RosterwReam glowed
with optimistic enthusiasm.  "So now that I have added my name to the LNH
Roster can I post it!  Shall I?"  
	"No!  You had better not!  I just finished with it!  If you post it
now I will be stuck with it and I dont want to post this more often than a 
month at a time!"  List Lad began to wonder if this chance for a break was the
best idea.
	"So, Oh great maestro.  What should I do in the mean time?"
RosterwReam looked trustingly into the eyes of his teacher.
	"Well, you could ask people to post their stories in a nice fashion."
List Lad began to describe a "nice fashion."
	"Firstly to merit mention in the LNH, a posting entity must identify
him or herseslf as a character IN A POSTING!!  It does no good to tell someone
that this character exists if he or she doesn't create some story in which 
he or she is in it!  
	"Secondly it would be good to once the character appears to send to
the roster keeper which is you RosterwReam, at least for now, a detailed 
description of the character the person thinks is worth mentioning in the 
posting.
	"Thirdly, KEEP POSTING AN OCCASIONAL MESSAGE WITH YOUR CHARCTER IN IT!"

	"Wow!" RosterwReam's jaw dropped, his mouth agape.  "There is so much
to remember!  How will I ever remember it all!?  Oh Great Lenthy One!"

	"Well, The steps are to make things easier for everyone to get
involved!  Its not a straight jacket!  Its the best way to handle everyone who
wants to be involved!  After all, the Legion Of Net Heroes is a Collaborative
experience, and that means everyone can partecipate!!  There are just
somethings that make it easier for everyone!"  List Lad taught caringly to the
youngster RosterwReam, who looked more confused than ever.  "Oh don't worry
Faithful Sidekick!  What it is really about is FUN!"

						wReam...
					    Ultimate Ninja!!

P.S.  Yeargh!  OK did everyone catch the message in the narrative??? 
Hopefully!   Cuz you'd have to be DAFT to not get it!  Anyway, we would like
to mention you all and all your characters in the roster so let us
know if we forgot anyone.  You can use ALL the characters!  So Go write 
Something Noteworthy!!!   And remember to do it always in the spirit of 
the everypopular :)

To clarify for those of you not in on this - it's not a conspiracy
against OTL, he's not dead just to punish his creator/alter ego.  I've
written a partial storyline bringing him back.  Unfortunately, wReam
had revived the dead LNHer's by this time, so I had to act fast to keep
him dead (so I could revive him), which brought about the "only OTL is
dead" line.  However, I neglected to inform OTL's alter ego of this
(that I was bringing him back later) until after wReam's letter and
the response.  He has given his approval.  So this whole mess is _my_
fault for not outlining my plans and telling OTL I was collaborating
with wReam (continuity - what a thought!  :+).  An apology is offered
to all those forced to muddle through this near mini flame war. 
Sorry, y'all!

Subject: LNH: Spelling Boy Explained (was: The Drizzt Danglers)
Organization: NAIVE - New And Improved Virtual Environment
Date: Tue, 6 Oct 1992 23:44:22 GMT

So here's the scoop... (and I should know!)

	Spelling Boy was torn to pieces by the wild dogs of Professor
Perhap and then eaten.  One of the dogs, having the taste for grey
matter, decided to eat his brain.  The dog (his name was "Chuck",
actually) dropped Spelling Boy's head (sans body at this point) off a
highway overpass, cracking the skull open.  The dog then run down to
the street below and slurped the brain out in one piece.

	Unfortunately, the poor pooch (now intoxicated by the effect
of the ingested cerebral tissue) didn't bother to find a proper dining
venue and thus never saw the '74 Chevy Impala coming.  Ooops!  *splat!*

	Anyway, the dog was taken to Vapid Veterinarian for autopsy,
since the hound was crossing its eyes in a *most* peculiar fashion.
Upon opening the dog's stomach, he found Spelling Boy's brain, still
intact (thanks to a protective gob of mucus).  So...

	H E   S A V E D   S P E L L I N G   B O Y ' S   B R A I N !

or at least that's how the original story went...

	HOWEVER, what *wasn't* told before was that VV took the brain
over to Neo-Nerologist, who figured that the brain could be saved.
With the aid of Mr. Green-Genes, they cloned a new body for spelling
boy out of the genetic material from a pubic hair that they found in
his toothbrush.

	So, this explains how we saw Spelling Boy return to action so
soon after his apparent demise.  Aren't flashback revelations a blast?

These postings always sound so plaintive and pathetic. But anyway, I was

rave scene in Philly. I'm pretty sure there hasn't been much in the way of

  Remeber, if you get artist permission, you're only half-way there.
It's the recording label that "owns" the music.  And they're the ones
who will sue you too, not the artist.
  
  On a related note, Remix groups have to get permission to remix a
song and release it.  How difficult is that and what restrictions are
placed on what you can do to a song.  It seems that once you get
permission to remix a song, you can sample the hell out of it and
basically create something new, though it has to be based on that
song.

The composer always owns the music unless he or she has agreed to write
the piece as a "work for hire." Work for hire is almost always music for
commercials and the like, never popular recordings. The composer then
grants the record company mechanical rights - i.e. the right to reproduce
the recordings. This does NOT mean that the record company owns the work.
If the record company has been granted exclusive mechanical rights, then
it is true that they have to give permission as well. However, note that
this applies only to the single recording, and not to the music as a 
composition.

Heh, how about classical CDs? Opera contains a lot of

Carmina Burana is a favourite...

Also, synth-pop stuff from the early 80s contains a lot

Breakbeats on techno records are a good place to start, but as you said,
it can be slim pickins.  Electronic percussion doesn't always sound that
great to sample anyway.  Best thing to do is look for real drum breaks in
older songs.  Start with your own collection.  You'd be surprised how many
samples you'll find.  Go back through and listen to everything you have,
which is a fun thing to do anyway, for the most part.  You'll find things
to sample in recent stuff as well as your fave old MTV classics too.  If
breakbeats are your thing, the best ones come from classic funk, soul, and
r&b records, some from jazz too.  James Brown's "Funky Drummer" and Lyn
Collins' "Think (About It)" have the most-sampled beats and vocals you'll
ever hear.  Thing is, you have to avoid the big hits and search through the
more obscure album cuts if you want to be original.  There are some good
samples in lots of 70s rock tunes too.  Or you could let someone else do
the work for you; listen to a lot of new hip hop!  Most rap and r&b 12"s
have instrumentals, dubs, and sometimes bonus beats, all for your sampling
pleasure.  My favorite beats right now are in MC Serch's "Here It Comes".
Every sound you could ever need has already been made; you just have to
find them.
