Ah! Now I understand. Welcome Elle/L, good to see you

Fascinating stuff Richard. Not an author I recall coming across, though the title quotation is familar. It soulds as though he had throughly subverted many of the common tropes of fantasy before that genre really got going.

Yes. It’s one of the little snarls to be untangled – that sticky topics show in a sub forum even though they are located in a separate forum.

I see the lifeboat FAQ and the house rules thread as well as this topic and the creitique FAQ

Yes. Excellent point, Squidge. When monkeying around with someone else’s work, it’s important to always remember that your ideas and the author’s ideas may not mesh. Any rewriting should be done sparingly, strictly as an example (unless the author requests otherwise) and the power should always be returned to the author when you’ve finished.

There’s this topic and a sticky FAQ page which is closed to comments, Barny. Otherwise it looks fine in my browser.

Hi Laure. please forgive me if I sound silly aking this question, but should I know you from the Word Cloud?

I feel like ýou’re talking from personal experience here, Ath 😁

Really interesting reading, Richard. The name was familiar but I haven’t read anything by him. It’ unusal for me not to have at least sampled something by a historic fantasy writer. I can see what you mean about his writing being a bit Marmite. It was making me wince and laugh at the same time.

Hi PB, hope you’re well

Once again working up to redrafting the same novel I keep coming back to.

He had stuff on his paws that really had to go, and I am used to dogs, and my dogs get washed if I say they do, so I just…picked him up to rinse him.

Hopefully. He spends most of his time looking like Father Dougal got incarnated in the body of a kitten, like every single thing in the universe is blowing his tiny kitten mind, so perhaps he’ll get distracted and forget I washed his paws under the tap.

Been getting any writing done, there, Mad?

At the moment, I’m wondering how long it is cats can hold grudges for, because my kitten is cross with me.

Ah, lovely wine.

I’d love a glass, thanks, Mad.

Yay!
