Hi Paranet Community

We've got a new book to think and talk about.  Beta reading PT/BG burned me out, and I feel a bit rejuvenated now with 12M freshly read.

Hey guys,

I think my last work on the WoJ website was in the period after Skin Game.  I'm not really interested in working on it anymore and sort of gave the keys to Jim's payed assistant, although I think she is part time and I don't think she has the time to work on it to the level I used to either. 

If I ever put any effort into it again it will probably be limited to just collecting links to sources and transcripts out there.

Hi all, "Old Guard" here who is generally disengaged but I've still got mod status and a blown up in box. 

Take a moment to consider what life stresses you may be bringing into the conversation and how they may be influencing how you are interacting with the others here.  Those stresses are real, valid, and unfortunately are not alone in that people on the other side of the screen have just as real and valid ones that are influencing their interactions. 

Remembering some of the drama I saw flying around this community a decade ago, I became much more empathetic towards some of the participants when I understood that the poster who cost me a sliver of sleep one night was actually struggling with some terrible RL shit.  What felt like a drive-by 1 line insult to a theory I deeply cared about was really someone who had a lot more going on behind the scenes and I didn't need to take it so hard. 

Iago made some posts back then that really provided some great insight on the human condition for me and I might share one that I've come across in the decade or so since. 

*digs around*  there, I added a hyperlink above to the article Iago shared, and below is a link to a long podcast on how minds change that has vastly impacted how I try to interact with others.  The context is a couple years outdated, but the lessons stand.

Interesting.  I’m going to have to re-read the Morgan microfiction as I think it might contradict this but I’m not sure

I suspect Bradley is smart enough to avoid that possibility

DF Books / Re: What Mythology stories/books would y'all recommend, based on DF books?
« on: September 29, 2020, 12:48:07 AM »
Some Arthurian.  I read Mists of Avalon which is a really interesting take on the Arthurian cycle from the women’s perspectives.

It’s not RL myth but The Amber Chronicles have a heavy influence on the DF.

From there maybe some Wikipedia articles on Gnosticism

Here’s my beta comment on Tunguska

Quote
**Hmmmmm… 2 things off about this.  First, unless Michael’s slaying of
Siriothax occurred outside the mortal world, there’s been a more recent
dragon slaying than one that would have happened at Tunguska.  Second,
Ebenezer claimed Tunguska as one of the “necessary things he did” in
chapter 35 of Blood Rites.

UPDATE (copy-pasted from her son): Just off the phone with my mom, who is currently hospitalized with the COVID mixed with some pneumonia on the side. She seems to be taking it in stride. She wanted me to make sure people know she isn't dying, just very bored in isolation.

From Shecky:  UPDATE: She is apparently on oxygen but NOT a ventilator, so there's that, at least. THANK GOODNESS.

My next WoJ website update will probably be around the time Peace Talks is released.  I’ve already got a few earmarked to add and just added this to my list, thanks
