I always recommend not using actual demon names, unless you really do your research.  For a random demonic name it is easiest to simply take the name of a pet and reverse it:

My pets for an example:

Lynx = Xnyl
Oberon= Norebo
Sorcha= Ahcros (Ah Hic Ross)
Sophra= Arhpos (Ah Hip Pos)

Not exotic enough...?  Add in a few apostrophes or sub in y for i z for s or x for c and k, k for g.

You can come up with some great demon names from some rather mundane pets names, and not worry about irritating or summoning anything.

Spunky = Yx'nups

Spotty = Yt'topz

See?  An endless resource.

Night on Bald Mountain is a perennial favorite of mine!  Sets a nice spooky mood.

SOme sort of raptor intercepts him on his way down, and he feels like a worm on a hook.

Even with alien women I was inept.  Maybe I will accept and go into the cave.  ANything would be better than becoming one of those things on the table whose blood dripped from the mask.

Because a vortex opened up and transported you to the lab of an alien scientist.

But how in the world does it figure into a drive?  I know what a Moebius strip is.  a three dimensional object with only one side...  but drive?  LOL

ANd yes, that is my explanation as to why in TOS people still kicked a$s and took names and in TNG everyone is so layed back.

flux capacitor -- Just a term, and acceptable without science. because it was a comedy (Space Opera, except time travel)


dilithium crystals -- We already use lithium for energy, so TOS was ahead of the curve with this.  Gene Roddenberry was interested in having plausible science, if not possible.  In TNG they've moved up to trilithium crystals.

I have long held a theory that the reason that everyone in TNG is so laid back is because the lithium leaks out of the engines and bonds withtheir blood, and so they all are on lithium....  *g*

Where is Mobius Drive from?  I can't place it off hand.  Maybe it is just named after a guy named Mobius?

If it doesn't have science in it, it is space opera or fantasy.  Even if the science is outdated, it has to have sciencein order to be science fiction. 

Personally, I can't stand authors who insult me by not doing their homework.  Even movies that have what I call "idiot plots" turn me off.  (Unless they are designed that way in order to be hilarious.)  If I can think of a solution before the so called scientists in the story, or a better solution, I figure the author did think it through enough.

If you message me with your email I will forward it to him and ask him if he would contact you directly.

He was my hubby's dorm mate at college long long ago!  We stay in touch, and he is such a great guy.  Brilliant, too.
