Are languages considered proper nouns or celebrities? To me, that's pushing the category a bit too far, but I would certainly defer to Onamographys ruling... :0? As long as you specify in your clue what readers have to look for, it's all legit.

U got me twosleepy and, why onnicle?! I keep having to look it up 'cuz it doesn't seem obvious!! Onnicle is a coined word - short for 'Onamographic Article'. It could be a single sentence (the stuff that do here on this thread) or a complete paragraph (the website has several samples). The FAQ on the website has a little more information about this.

While twosleepy comes with his own..Here's one from me
Continuing with the theme..
Onnicle: Mumtaz Mahal's ghost eventually said it's good bye to a griefstricken Shah Jahan, the Mughal emperor. The Taj observatory beautifully illustrates their love story.
Onniclue: Pple at Super.com

Onniclue: Pple at Super.com I'm not familiar with Super.com, but I think that's correct! I'm also not a "him"... :0D Onnicle: Although a landscaper many worry about planting roses that can prick, many gardeners feel a garden isn't legitimate without at least one or two bushes.Onniclue: Frank Bryce

I don' thin' tha's gonna he'p me! -joe (two ens?) friday I'm with tsuwm. I know what a nomograph is, and even a nonogram, but I don't see there's any relation to "onamograph." And the diploid "n" befuddles. And shouldn't it be -gram, not -graph in the first place? There are no charts or pictures. Sometimes I feel as though we are being used as free beta testers for a (ahem) profit-making enterprise. Not that the game itself isn't fun! I've been doing this kind of puzzle since my childhood, many months ago. Nevertheless, the onniclization of the game reminds me of the folks who took the childrens' card game "crazy eights" and made a bundle marketing it as "Uno."

>crazy eights
eons ago, I and some colleagues at work came up with a lunchtime card game we (without imagination) called Minnesota Eights. nearly every card in the (double) deck had a special significance, such as reversing direction of play, putting the next player in jeopardy (forcing a counter-play or losing turn), putting *everyone in irremediable jeopardy (everyone takes two cards and skips their turn!), etc.
imagine our chagrin when UNO came on the market!
