Since EFNW is quickly coming up and people are starting to talk about it, I figure I should say publicly that Twilight's Book Nook will be carrying The Education of Clover the Clever, available in both hardcover and paperback. So if you're attending the con and haven't bought a physical copy, why not stop on by and check it out? Help make the fimfic bookstore a success, and keep a fandom tradition alive.

I sadly will not be there myself but I hope everyone will have a spectacular time.

Lately I've been reading the official biography of Terry Pratchett, which was released last fall: A Life With Footnotes, written by his longtime personal assistant Rob Wilkins. I'm not normally a big reader of biographies, but for this I made an exception. It's a wonderful book, vivid and evocative all the way through.

I was today years old when I learned that the Welsh word for "pony" - or at least one Welsh word for pony - is "Merlyn". And you know, as a pony wizard aficionado, I feel like someone really should have mentioned this before? At some point in the last dozen or so years? But better late than never.

Happy new year, everyone. The temperature is mild and the sky is clear, and I'm looking forward to an excellent night of watching fireworks.

I just saw this picture I had to share: a Changeling wedding dress.
