A fun place to play

[hrj]

Some time ago, I started reading the Making Light blog, because a number of people I admired on rec.arts.sf.composition had been mentioning it (and, in some cases, had more or less left rasfc to go hang out there instead). It took me quite a while to work up the nerve (and find the right context) to post some comments there myself, since it has a very definite feel of a tight-knit community and ... well, you know me and how talented I am at breaking into new social circles. (Not.) But periodically there are random creative-writing threads where people start riffing on some theme and you just have to stare in awe at the casual talent abounding there. (This is somewhat of a self-serving observation, given that it was a couple of these threads that finally gave me an opening to contribute and introduce myself there.) Currently, there is a thread that ... well, to say anything more specific in advance would spoil some of the fun. But I shall merely say that if you like literature and poetry and have a playful sense of humor, you are unlikely to hate me if you follow my suggestion to check it out.

It's a remarkable blog, with by far the best and most readable comment trails of any site I've come across (at least since Miss Snark went dark). Literate, erudite, and self-correcting to a refreshing degree.
