not sure how to embed the thread, so here’s the top one anyway, which leads to the rest: I wanna talk about ~historical accuracy in worldbuilding for a bit, particularly in secondary world fantasy. Because it’s something that’s come up in discussions w/ friends lately and it won’t let my mind go. So. A mini-thread!
Well, across the street, really. Glen was probably 1427, 1429 if it was a packed street. With bigger lots, no telling.

Guess the body of this post is pretty much in the subject line up there. Maybe again someday? Who knows. Just deactivated, didn’t delete. Wanted to see what the other side is like. But I’m still in birdland, should anybody need me. And I’m on Litsy as well, having fun. Not on Instagram, though. Reason?

@AlanBaxter was cool enough to rig this together, as I’ve got the words, but not the photoshoppery:
Man, this post plus the last one, you’d think I just troll these here internets, waiting for something that, to me, evokes one of my books. But? This one. C’mon. Having to work the call center for a defunct video game? That’s exactly the premise of The Long Trial of Nolan Dugatti: Nintendo support will
