Consanguinity and Affinity

Wednesday 16 September 2009

The topic of consanguinity in marriage came up in the comments, so I started wondering about the rules—this heretofore being an issue I have mostly ignored in the story.

Why all these babies lately?

Sunday 6 September 2009

In a comment to “Condal learns a lot about a man”, maria wrote:

Lothere, why all these babies lately? And mostly in awful or negative contex? (killing babies, abortion, rape baby, demon babies) Is it intentional or just a coincidence? Or am I just more prone to notice that kinds of things?

It’s a good question, but the question within the question—“why mostly in awful or negative contexts”—is part of the answer, so I will tackle both of the questions together.

The History of England, according to the Hwalas

Thursday 27 August 2009

Upon commencing The Politico-​Sigefrithian, I immediately realized that I could never neatly summarize the historical context of early 1067 in the little space available to me at the top of the page.

Verily, I thought, Pre-​Lotherian History should be an article in its own right… so I wrote one. Never dreaming how many hours it would take. *sigh*

So here you go: “The History of the Hwalas” – all the foreign kings, all the family scandal.

Malrua storyline is all tidied up...

Wednesday 26 August 2009

…and just waiting for Malcolm to return. There are only 18 chapters so far, but it’s a swoon-​worthy read, as Gwynn would say.

“A Love Story”

Gunnilda storyline is up

Friday 21 August 2009

I just published the official Gunnilda storyline:

“The Shadow of a Star”

In the beginning it quite closely parallels Egelric’s first two storylines, but without all the boring elfy nonsense. So if you just want some full-​on Egelric+Gunnilda romance, you should rather go here.

Egelric Part Four: The Old Devil

Sunday 16 August 2009

I could not stop myself! The “just one more chapter” syndrome afflicts the author too!

Vashmalania Mania storyline is up

Friday 31 July 2009

OK so I couldn’t actually call it that, even though I really really wanted to. Here it is:

“A Tangled Braid”

Kraaia storyline is up

Thursday 16 July 2009

“A Girl Called Crow”

Putting this together made me realize how much her life is already intertwined with the elves’ story—especially Vash’s. Oooh boy. I guess I should do the Vashlaina storyline after all, so I can point people to that if they want background about why Vash is so angstry. But that will surely be a monumental undertaking…

(It’s also interesting how doing one storyline tends to lead to another…)
