[[File:Beoƿulf.jpg|thumb|This work is only half mine. I do NOT own the background, it's screenshot from Benjamin Bagby's "Beowulf" (may it be the last time I write this word on my page with w!) So all the rights of the background belong to their respective owners. This beautiful picture (actually, footage) of the sea was in the beginning of the perfomance, and then came "BEOǷULF" and you can easily guess ""how"" it was written. Otherwise I wouldn't be posting this picture.So I typed to the word with Ƿynn and put on the background, to make it feel lika it actually was like that in the video. if only it was like that there :( Since I created this account I wanted to upload it here. Once again, I don not own the background.]]
: Ƿesaþ ᵹe hāle everyone! I know my nickname is kinda weird, when I was registing I never could've thought I would talk to someone here or, all the more, create a personal page. I just wanted to register in quik way.
: At fist I wanted to take take Stefn as a nickname (not a form of female name, it's from Old English word for "voice") But it'd been already taken. Then I wanted to take Deor, but it'd been taken too. And I created this nickname that noone but me would use. I like birds, espesially hunting birds, like osprey or march harrier (they are my patronus' on some Pottermore pages, I used to love to create them and these patronus are my favorites).
: I was planning to put Ƿynn in Old English texts like it's meant to be (and also use Ȝogh to represent insular g, though I didn't know insular g ( ᵹ ) was availiable). I thought it'd be not very easy, but possible, nobody would stop me and edits would last, and in the end I'll imaginary ride into sunset, unknown to everybody. The end. Ah, naive old me.
: I went to Wikisourse, there are many Old English works there. I've been working the whole day (it was 4th of February), I wanted to make the text look as similar to Old English manuscripts as it was possible, I was changing capital Ȝogh to G throughout all text, in the end of the day my eyes hurted but I was glad I did it. The next day all my edits were reverted and I got a message that says the orthography of published works is not to be changed. All was in vain.
If anyone interested, you can read the conversation in there - https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/User_talk:Prosfilaes#Orthography
I don't blame the moderator, he was polite to me and it's not his fault there is that rule about orthography (why is there this rule... -_-)
: Then I went to Wiktionary and started to get rid of w there. I met Leasnam who was very kind to me and we agreed I would create new pages with Ƿynn as alternative form of the words instead of changing orthography on the main pages. I do dometimes, not long ago I got a message form another user that said alternative form pages must have much less information than main ones and I have to obey.
