On Fairy Stories


"The magic of faery is not an end in itself, it's virtue is in its operations: among these are the sastisfaction of certian primodorial human desires. One of these desires is to survey the depths of space and time. Another is ... to hold communication with other living things."


Tolkien.


It's interesting that, by Tolkein's criteria, Neil Gaiman's Sandman is not really a fairy story, being rooted in dream rather than faery..

Overheard at Brown


I wish there were more blogs like this: this is the raw snippet experience that makes writers drool. Setting, character, motivation, all evoked by a single whacky line..if anyone knows of any more blogs like this one, can they comment? Ta.

Free speech



Like everyone else, you like it when it suits you...you just have to put up with it when it doesn't.

The Journal



A miscellany of topics that intersest me: deaf culture, game design, politics as soap opera, the cyborg condition and the experience of learning to hear again. Other topics presented are speculative fiction and imaginary cities. There are appearences of snippets of work in progress, public rants, pointless posts and Mish the Mouse.




The Writer

A lower middle class cyborg living an innocous life in a suburban village near Newcastle On Tyne, in the United Kingdom. Mostly autobiographical and creative notes posts and musings on the topic du jour.
