[edit] Film reference in "Vurt"?

There are frequent references to a feather called "Curious Yellow", which takes the user to a very dangerous place, the place where Desdemona was lost.

While following an odd path through Wikipedia, I found I_Am_Curious_(Yellow). Could that be the inspiration for the Curious Yellow feather, or just a coincidence?

Sounds quite possible, but I guess unless someone asks the guy we'll never know. :D

I Am Curious (Yellow) is pretty famous, & I'd say that its influence is overt enough to be taken for granted, like "dinirobobdiniro."m:. 02:49, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pixel Juice and Cobralingus

Could someone add a section on these two works? They are important works in Noon's career, as they side step from his more usual works (I say usual, its still unusual :P) and I was wondering if someone could put together information on them?

I am currently adding a section on Pixel Juice. Will be ready within the week. And also, where can i find a copy of Cobralingus on the net? when i checked their website last it was down. cheers --Danbrown99 22:54, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Works

So we have a Nymphomation entry now! Exciting, even if it is stubby. We should make entries for the rest of his works.m:. 02:49, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi, that was me - forgive me if it's badly done - I am a newbie here! ;) I've now finished putting up a complete plot synopsis of Nymphomation, and also some information on the alternative fictional chronology of the Vurt series as well as the obvious publishing reading order; an order which only became apparent when re-reading Nymphomation.

Hi, my first ever contribution. I put in a bibliography line for his recent BBC 3 commissioned radio play "Dead Code". I thought it important to distinguish this genre from the other genres listed, though I did notice that some of his electronic adaptations are listed in more "traditional" categories.

[edit] devine shadows

according to imdb.com, jeff is currently working on a film called 'Devine Shadows' with director Husein Alicajic. would it be worth adding a section for this? and has anyone got anymore information about this film? cheers dan --Danbrown99 18:12, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

May be best to find an additional reference to the film outside of imdb, since imdb is notoriously unreliable on stuff in production or pre-production; but if you can find a corroborating report, and ideally something that has more info than just a title, I'd say create a "reported works in progress" section or some such, as the last section of the bibliography. When or if the film is in the can, a screenplay section can be added to the bib. Or you can just create a screenplay section in the bib and list 'Divine Shadows' as either in progress (being written) or in production (actually being filmed) or pre-production (people are still being hired, financing is still be secured, etc.).--Martin Boyden 12:57, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

I found a reference to it outside of imdb but it doesnt mention jeff, so i don't think it counts. so it is pretty useless.--Danbrown99 18:46, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

ok i have gone for it after finding more sources about the film. please feel free to edit and expand. thanks --Danbrown99 18:56, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Seperate pages for each novel?

is anyone up for helping me create seperate pages for each novel, especially Vurt? thanks, dan --Danbrown99 21:15, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

I can have a go if you want, message me Calg1 16:36, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

would it be possible for someone to get a Vurt page up and going so we can begin to add? i don't know how to do it. thanks, dan --Danbrown99 18:24, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I went ahead and created Vurt. It's very stubby at the moment. Kweeket 20:30, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Recurring themes

Quite a lot of his books are linked by themes/settings/places etc. Maybe a little section on that would be nice :) Calg1 16:40, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

i think a page on the vurt world would be a good idea, about the location, the hobart constant, celia hobart, the feathers etc. anyone up for helping? --Danbrown99 17:40, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

I think that should go under Vurt until we have a lot of information, then it could be moved into its own page. Kweeket 18:17, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

ok. i'll start tomorrow. any idea what i should title it? --Danbrown99 19:36, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
