Thank you ladies! Your coments are always so precise that it's a compliment in and of itself. :) Both of those drawings, while not exactly meant to be specifically any certain characters, were informed, as Athena puts it, by the fiction and discussions we all have around here. It makes me smile to t...

Thanks ladies, you're very kind! It was very rewarding for me to work on, although about halfway through I became very insecure about whether or not I could finish the way I wanted to. It came together in the end but took longer than I would have liked.

The next one will come faster.

Athena was kind enough even though she's feeling so bad to help me post a new drawing in the art gallery.

I'm calling it Contest of Wills and it is of course inspired by the opening of Husked Grain. The media is conté crayon (a pastel pencil) and the scene depicts the warships aproaching Tenli.

Great essay. Propably the best atheist apology I've yet to read. The point that athiest idiology cannot be turned to inhuman practices is a fallacy proven by Stalinist Russia, but I think that the gist is more that every human idiology is capable instigating atrocity. That humanity itself is divine,...

Sounds fascinating! Is it in print in the US?

Think of Bergman's Seventh Seal in a minor key, and you get the picture.

Whoa! Sounds right up my alley - I'm going to need to check that one out!

You know, I've been meaning to watch that for a while now. Thanks for the recommendation Marie!

Congrats on the story Caliban! The opening certainly has my interest quipped. Please let us know which issue it will be in when it comes out. her efforts to be inconspicuous a distraction. This line made me chuckle and wonder about how this character will turn out. And of course, just why is the pro...

Thank you for posting this. Congrats to Calvin for the accepted submission!

Calvin, can you tell us a bit about the story?

Maybe I should just move the lab to my basement.

ROTFLOL!

Very interesting link Walden2. Thanks for posting!

That's wonderful! Congrats! You will have a lot to offer the institute, which is, I'm sure, why they offered you the spot (and not just because of what a cool gal you are - but that too ;). I hope it will offer a fulfilling diversion from some of the more tedious issues of being a serious scientist ...

Where did you find spoilers? And rent it anyway - I think you'll enjoy it.

Thank you Heather! I'm glad you liked it. :) Tension - in this case whether the Fey and the Men will unite - is something that makes a story worth reading. There are some writers who are so sublime that they don't even need that - but they're few and far between. Although the story came to me in a f...

At the same time, I remember that one very subtle point in LeGuin's Left Hand of Darkness was that the Ecumen envoy, Genli Ai, was black. It is mentioned only once throughout the story, and then very obliquely. I remember! It's remarkable how much that book influences me still - so much so that I d...
