[The Bloated Shaganat]

Spectrum,

I suppose it comes down to whether you want your book to have the best possible chance of being picked up by a publisher, or the satisfaction of producing a very personal piece of work?

If you can build worlds like Tolkien, and have his knowledge of linguistics, the reading public are yours for the taking, but if you can't, be prepared to embrace disappointent.

I for one would be in the giggle camp if I read long or difficult names on the back of a book - it would just seem terribly pretentious to me.
