So, admittedly a little late for the holidays, but the CrossingsCon PR team put together a playlist of the songs from How Lovely Are Thy Branches, and I've been meaning to post it over here for you for a...couple weeks now. Whoops. Original post quoted below. I hope you can still get some joy from it even though it's after the new year!

Dai cousins! As people start getting ready for their own holiday parties, why add a little Young Wizards to yours?

We compiled a playlist of all the songs we could find mentioned in How Lovely Are Thy Branches which you can find here. Whether it brings good cheer to your party, or sparks your own debate over the original lyrics of O Tannenbaum, we hope you enjoy it.

Have a happy holidays!

Dai Stihò! I promised you all that I'd post an info post for CrossingsCon, but it's taken longer than I thought. Thanks for your patience!

CrossingsCon is, first and foremost, this universe's only convention founded on Diane Duane’s Young Wizards. Year Three is taking place June 21-23, 2019 in Montréal, Québec, Canada. You can buy a badge here!

More specifically, CrossingsCon is a moment out of time, where people can come together to share their Art and have fun doing it. It's a place where, just for a weekend, the wizardry that is usually just around the corner is instead right in front of you. Inspired by the Young Wizards series and other stories, we celebrate the power of storytelling to literally change our lives and the world around us. The Crossings is a huge melting pot of cultures, people, and ideas, and we strive to emulate it to the extent we can (although as yet we are limited to planet Earth). We look forward to greeting cousins we know and welcoming cousins we haven't met yet, because in hearing their stories, we become family.

( More info and useful links )

I'll post more information over the next couple weeks and as I have new information to share with you! Feel free to comment if there's a specific question you wanted me to address. I hope to see you this summer!

It's been 80 million years since I last wrote YW fic, but I'm excited about the comm and moving to dreamwidth, and I wanted to give you guys something, so here's my gift for Indy from the 2013 Christmas in July Exchange. Maybe with the active comm I might put together something new.

I thought some folks around here might think this was interesting/cool/relevant! The sun just spit out apparently a pretty huge CME, which it also did... recently, about a month ago I think? I was all excited because the little tool on my Google homepage said "STORM!" instead of "normal" with regards to solar activity.

You just remember to behave yourself within reason, Sol, and we'll all be happy!

I hope nobody minds me posting this... I really don't know if this community allows fanfic so mods feel free to delete...

I just thought I'd do a quick drive by fic drop off. My first fic in Young Wizards fandom:

http://desrose.livejournal.com/54098.html

It's Carl/Tom so if that's not to one's fancy I suggest not reading it.

Dai!

I've known for a while that I'm largely the kind of reader (and student of literature) that I am because of writers like Diane Duane who showed me how magical plain old words can be. But explaining this to other people has always been a bit difficult...especially when those "other people" are the kinds of people who work in university English departments and Take Literature Seriously. I've always been frustrated by these people, for a number of reasons, but I am a grad student in English lit and I should be able to give them an argument on "their" terms about why books like So You Want to Be a Wizard are not just awesome, but integral to literature as a whole.

So, with a lot of this in mind, I ended up writing something like an informal analytical essay (but also like a celebration) about the power of words in So You Want to Be a Wizard, which you can find on my blog if you're interested. I've been piecing this together in my spare time for a while now, and I'd love to hear any thoughts that you might have on it.

Hey Young Wizard fans! Diane Duane has just put up five signed and personalized copies of A Wizard of Mars for the

foresthouseeyes fan auction. This is an auction to help LJ user

foresthouse , who is undergoing experimental eye surgery, which her insurance doesn't cover, and she has been told that she must pay her $4000 bill by the end of the month. (Read about it: here, or at

cleolinda 's journal).

As there are no signed copies of A Wizard of Mars floating around (due to the problems with that volcano), these will probably be some of the only signed copies of AWoM available, so if you really want a signed copy, this is definitely a chance to pounce on it! Plus it is for a good cause.

Here are the auctions:
One
Two
Three
Four
Five

This would make a great Friends Only banner, Nita looking fierce at Castle Matrix. It's on this page:
http://www.youngwizards.com/Young-Wizards-Wallpapers

I don't know if the Powers That Be would be down with modifying it. Don't see why not.

I have finished my very first readthrough of A Wizard of Mars, and my immediate thoughts regarding it have been added to my journal. That is mostly a lot of flailing and incoherence, however, so unless you are interested in my ramblings on, rather unimportant.

What is likely MUCH more relevant to your interests are the screencaps that I did using Google Earth's Mars feature. I know I didn't hit up every place Kit, Nita and associates went to on the red planet, but I definitely capped the important ones.

So, for a virtual aerial picspam tour of Mars, click below.

SPOILER HEAVY THOUGH. IN MY IMMEDIATE REACTIONS AS WELL AS AMONG THE PICTURES, SO BE WARNED. GO OUT AND READ THE BOOK AND THOROUGHLY ENJOY IT FIRST!

Also it is very image heavy. Uhh, obviously.

LOOKIT THAT PRETTY PLANET

I just got back from my first ever visit to Ireland. While I was there, I spent the better part of a day walking from Bray to Greystones along the ocean, climbing Bray Head, and waiting for an Irish goth boy with a suspiciously glowing ballpoint pen to show up.

This poem published at Strange Horizons reminded me a little of Carmela's intergalactic chatrooms.

What is the awesomest thing to do to your fandom?

Why, cross it over with Jane Austen, of course!

So that is what I have done. Because Dairine and Roshaun are Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy inarnate. Plus, this one comes with pictures!

(It is a truth universally acknowledged that a wizard not on errantry must be in want of a date)

(Tell me if I should take this any further than it has already been taken)
