....wow, March has turned out considerably busier than I planned. How is it that I can go through January and February with nothing to do, and then have a March like this? But anyway.
1. General reminder: I will be meandering around MegaCon this afternoon only, since various people had to cancel for tomorrow. I should be easy to spot - the blonde on the red scooter. Say hi.
2. In much sadder news, the brilliant fantasy writer Diana Wynne Jones has just died. She was the sort of writer who demanded rereads to allow you to pick up all of the sly bits of humor that she slid in here and there. My hands down favorites of her novels were The Dark Lord of Derkholm and Year of the Griffin, which skewered travel agencies, sword and fantasy epics, and universities, but others recommend her more independent works, especially Fire and Hemlock, or the Howl's Moving Castle series.
More blogging forthcoming when I have a moment.
