tamaranthOff The Page: Dorothy Dunnett discussing life, Lymond and Niccolo (22 mins: made ~1990?)
this was actually linked by a friend of mine who wasn't born -- and was most interested in hearing about -- when I skived off werk to hear Dunnett give a talk at the ICA. Late 1980s, I think, considering the job I was skiving from. She talked disparagingly about fanfiction, but didn't call it that; was talking about people 'trying to finish the series for me and getting it wrong'. This may have been one root of my early prejudice against fanfic.
Springnote: online wikiesque 'notebook'. Using this for werk as well as personal stuff: it's slightly glitchy but an excellent way of organising and selectively sharing information. (I'm not using it in quite the same way as I use Evernote, which is much more 'random stuff I thought of')

la_marquise_de_, A. L. Kennedy on how much difference a trustworthy reader can make to a writer's work
Iron Age telecoms: standing around on draughty hills trying to light torches
In other news, it seems to be the season for young lads to fart up and down R____ Rd on underpowered motorbikes. When is open season, eh?
