Caught up with Wisperzzzzzzz at last, lol. Thank you very much for those never-ending lists!

Don't know if it is just my imagination or is ICE more inventive with the Malazan cursing - maybe I just havn't seen the best of SE's creations yet?

I don't remember any off the top of my head, but maybe the novellas have some more colorful ones?

I am about two-thirds through your last list, Wisperzzzzzzz ;)

I did realize that you aren't posting every single one... you'd run out of space in short order, lol.

I seem to remember a part in I think it was Reapers Gale? Where someone (maybe Toc?) explains that a lot of the Malazan curses are meant to be ironic. Like the say "Hood's Breath" because he's a dead god so he doesn't breath and "Beru fend" because he's a storm god and storms don't defend anything.

Is there a specific way you'd rather me format them that would make it easier for you?

Well, fuck. Database restore wiped out my BAB list, and then when I tried to copy the text from a tab I had left open from yesterday, I accidentally went backwards! ;)

Rather annoying, but shouldn't be too painful to recreate - I fold the page ears for pages that have curses, so I just need to go back and find the creased pages...

Also, despite it being removed, I did see your post about chapter numbers.

Arghhh... don't you just hate it when that happens. Thanks for going back to your dog-eared pages and recreating the list! I did see it for about five seconds before it disappeared and had send you rep as well. Hope you didn't loose anything else.

Edit: thanks to the chapter additions, latest list already done :p
