Lothere | verso

One of my reasons for creating the Verso site was to allow for discussions that aren’t strictly about the content of a particular chapter. For example, there was the “Why Matilda and Sela died” post in response to a comment of Devin’s — conversations that would get lost too easily among comments to a chapter, and which distract from the chapter itself. (Have you ever wanted to comment on a chapter, and by the time you read to the end of the previous comments, forgotten what you wanted to say? )

I am not a tidy person at the best of times, and I haven’t seen the best of times in several years. The last time I cleaned off my desk was Thanksgiving two years ago, so that I would have space for all my boxes of ornaments when it came to decorating my Christmas tree.

Last year I just dumped the boxes precariously on top of the mess, and only half-heartedly decorated the side of the tree you could see. And that is the most fitting metaphor I can find for that entire year.

I’ve answered a few questions about the eyes I use on my Sims at various times, in comments. So to make it easier for everyone, I’ll try to gather my favorites here for future reference.
