Yeah. Need to just plunge in and trust.ETA: Stanley. :)
Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Yep. Literally, within a paragraph or nine of the pub thing. Ringan, alone in the theatre.
First true look at the Bellefield ghost's, um, issues.

It's weird, I keep getting hung up on the fact that I know the historical references and want to get on with the story, but you need to explain the references to folks who may never have thought about the 14th century before. Historical fiction can be a trial for an SCAer: "I know about Tyburn, darn it, get on with what he's found out already!"

What is even happening?
Deb is the spoiler source for her own story. Heh.

I don't know if I'm justified, but I'm feeling sorry for the ghost.

Taunting author.
edit: I am resisting the urge to hop to the end to see if my sympathies are justified or not.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
"Don't taunt the reader."
"Why, can she hurt me?"
"No, it's just...tacky."

Oh, and I just searched the database we use to check for books, and Famous Flower is already in the OCLC database. You're also listed in our copy of the Cambridge (England) database. OCLC has Flower and Weaver categorized as Ghost stories and Mystery fiction. Lots of other books under your name, too, in the big databases.

Just keep reading, yo. There's all sorts of scary stuff and historical fun in there for you to munch on.
Did I mention that Fed Ex just came by with a box of two dozen copies? Go, me!
In writing matters, I am staring at a beautiful printout of a beautiful map of the Isle of Dogs from 1885. Nic's going to print it out at work, in 11 x 17 size, and then print out a current one same size, so I can sort of overlay. Now if only I could find one from 1950 or thereabouts...
edit: how much do I love having buddies who have access to OCLC? Ah, worldwide libraries....
