  1. @pinkleaf01 They wouldn't be Monster Munch if they didn't stick to your teeth!
  2. Great to see a new Michael Wood history series on TV.
  3. @niallharrison Wouldn't want to be so exclusionary, but it would be work asking what that view of genre looks like.
  4. @niallharrison (And that reminds me of the panel I want to do on fantasy as an affect-based literature...)
  5. @niallharrison Hmm, makes me think I should interrogate my own idea of "magic" (which I think too much fantasy tends to miss)
  6. @niallharrison Oh, so tied into issues around calling things "exotic", then?
  7. @niallharrison "I never spare a thought for the kids who laboured in factories so I could have a steam-driven car."
  8. @niallharrison "Never mind the slaughter of thousands, what about the cool magic system?"
  9. @teadevotee Thanks! Wouldn't mind that - I could do with talking my plans over, to make sure they're realistic...
  10. @JulietEMcKenna Thanks, Juliet - much appreciated!
  11. @chasingbawa Thank you!
  12. @linshealy Thank you!
  13. @niallharrison ...I'll just need to find a way to take the step from that into paid work.
  14. @niallharrison Heh, no. I want to get into comms/PR work, and I've managed to get an internship in a local charity...
  15. Just received good news about what I intend to be the first step on the road towards a new career. Exciting times ahead...
  16. @picadorbooks My vote goes to pina colada (but not getting caught in the rain). #tigersinredweather
  17. #fridayreads Heading to London with The Apartment by Greg Baxter.
