November 2018, day 25

One last effort, my friends, before pre-Christmas frenzy overtakes us all...

Here is the place to tell us about your daily success (or the lack of it)!
May the magic be with us all!

your last comment has fired off the ferretbrain - fb is very similar to a turning machine - and it's popped something out.

1. why can't the research be a stand-alone piece in and of itself?
2. have you heard or ever read Tales of Nevèrÿon?

if one is getting that much /inside/ a world and exploring the archeology (for want of a better word) of that world, then it is purely logical imo to be looking at producing supporting documentation - we have maps of these worlds, we have language for these worlds in terms of translations of each characters dialects, therefore why wouldn't we things like what they would read, or enjoy themselves? in exploring that 'other world' culture, we are as writers some strange anthropologists unearthing as we go...

i'll shut up now...

i hate this type of fandom facism. i don't see why anyone can't create their own little versionette and play inside that. i love reading the au variants.

saying that if one is writing to order, i accept that one must adhere to forms of the requestee.
