History of the Colins
Published January 24, 2010 12:37 PM
While writing the next chapter, wherein Malcolm and Cubby meet King Malcolm III of Scotland, I had to take a step back and figure out exactly what is the history between Malcolm III and the clan of Black Colin. That led to figuring out the history of the clan itself.

The Awkward shoals of Cubby's paternity
Published October 17, 2009 11:32 AM
I have been saying recently that Sigefrith must never have publicly affirmed that Colban was not his son, and that Colban would therefore have continued to be called a prince and be treated with the same deference as Caedwulf and the girls.

Published September 16, 2009 06:57 AM
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?
Published September 6, 2009 02:47 PM
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
Published August 27, 2009 07:16 PM
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.

…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.

Gunnilda storyline is up
Published August 21, 2009 12:15 PM
I just published the official Gunnilda storyline:
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.

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