Links Mostly

I have some more Raksura questions to answer, but I got kind of busy so I'll try to do that this week.

This weekend we replanted a sapling tree today, probably the biggest thing I've ever replanted. It was a weed tree growing up against the fence so it had to go anyway, but there was a spot for it in the front yard and I wanted to give it a fighting chance. It resisted this process strenuously. It's like, you can't stay here, that giant oak tree you're cuddled up against is going to murder you. So hopefully it will live in its new spot.

I've also been working more on The Three Worlds Traveler's Guide. (Here's the copy paste link for LJ people, since LJ won't link to it. http://www.marthawells.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page )


Couple of things I posted on Tumblr:

* Kitty Pictures: proof Tasha likes to have her belly rubbed

* The Time I Met Gene Roddenberry

In the past, we’ve debated the definitions of epic fantasy and sword and sorcery, its social orientation, and what Fantasy Has Done For Us Lately. Well, you know what fantasy has done for me lately? Violette Malan.
