I have dozens of puns left over, but tried to give first-time contributors their chance before using repeat contributors. A few that relate to characters who don’t appear in this novel are also waiting their later turns. My cutoff point was the end of OctOgre 2007, so I could edit the novel in NoRemember.

I wish all readers well, until we both visit Xanth again. There should be at least a little magic in every life.
