 A is for Absinth - a Gothic Alphabet
As a gothic school teacher, I'd love to create and put up some tongue-in-the-cheek gothic versions of classic classroom posters, starting with a Gothic Alphabet. The idea here is that each person ads a letter. I'll start!
A is for Absinth.

 Re: A is for Absinth - a Gothic Alphabet
These are awesome! However, I was hoping for common nouns so I can make posters. Busy working on the first one, will post when I'm done. Thank you!

 Re: A is for Absinth - a Gothic Alphabet
"F" - "Fangs"
edit ----- or did you want us to start over with the nouns..? if so I'd go with "B" - "Bats" (original.. i know...)

N is for Naenia. -- Nephele Who really wanted to say "N is for Nephele," another genus of moth, but figured that would have been rather self-indulgent.
