I think I just multiplied my nerd rating more than tenfold.
15 years ago
So I've been slowly crafting a constructed language. I don't know why, I don't exactly know how, but it's been happening. Recently, I learned that there's actually conventions for things like this. A bit creepy, a bunch of people running around speaking nonsense, but it makes me feel a little less isolated and nerdy, but instead just promotes the nerdy part.
The major downside is that it feels like a wasted effort. Yeah, it was fun making it and whatever, but there are no applications, ya know? When you create a game, you can play it with other people, or if you write a book, you can share it with others. I have this thing that's literally unintelligible to everyone. I don't want to stay I wasted my time and creativity, but...
At least I'm not one of those people that will let a phrase slip out in Klingon or something...
Don't judge me too harshly =/

it's definitely not a waste of time if you're going to write stories set in an alien world and the people there need a believably consistent language to speak. science fiction or fantasy both. VERY useful to have a consistent and believable language to lend that sense of otherness culture. just make sure, after all that work, not to use it up in a one shot story, but make the language of a place in which many diverse and not repetitive stories can be set.
