Linkage

I'm overdue for a post, so I decided to post a few links for your enjoyment.

Over in her journal, asakiyume has posted a most wonderful epistolatory story. For ease of reading, check out her chronological list of story entries. There are hints that these may some day be expanded into a novel, which has me (and a whole lot of other people) filled with glee.

In told_tales, kimuro writes about the meaning of glas and how mortals must tread carefully in their dealings with the fay in Besting the Woman of Faerie.

Thanks to The Hermitage, I've learned about the wonderful Oxford folk band, Telling the Bees. They've just come out with a new CD, An English Arcanum. There are songs from their CDs available on their Music page; my favorite is "Lyra," from their first album, Untie the Wind.

My husband discovered (while researching boiled puddings, a likely topic for Scratch Vegetarian) that Wikipedia has a page on Geordie, "the people and dialect of Tyneside," England, which includes a fun list of vocabulary words.

thru_the_booth has an article on finding the right critique group, and the contradictory advice writers often encounter when looking for one.

I also couldn't resist sharing these ( lolcatz )
