rthstewart | In which I try to not sink a ship

The Scrubb/Pole cycle is now complete with the wonderful Starbrow posting Enchantment Vast But Foolish, which follows on Pencildragon11/Oldfashionedgirl95's Bedraggled As I Am.

Do check them out because without them pushing to give Eustace and Jill a happy ending, I would have never ever written Winning His Spurs which I just posted last night.

I'd not been able to replicate what Anastigmat and

songsmith accomplished in their work with the Peter/Mary pairing and so I'd given up on trying to write it. When I did the other two TSG AU stories, I didn't want to create another character so shoved Mary in there but kept her mostly nameless and faceless. Still, Starbrow and OFG hoped for a happy ending and functional, healthy relationships, so at their incredible generosity, I made the effort.

Some other links. Information on Ghost Ranch and Georgia O'Keefe is here
There's some fun stuff on Coelophysis. Based on the Ghost Ranch casts at the American Museum of Natural History, it had been assumed since the 40 that Coelophysis was cannibal. There is still evidence to suport it but one day a grad student was standing at the AMNH subway stop admiring the bronze replica and realized, wait a minute, that's not another dinosaur in its stomach. You can read it here. I first heard about this Triassic dinosaur in this video which also gave me the idea for Jill's illustration in Hung Out To Dry.

The UK General Election information came from various sources that started with wiki.

The Lord of the Rings was divided into three parts due to a paper shortage; ROTK came out in the fall of 1955.

I've got the second chapter mostly done which deals, 50 years later, with the British Awards system and yes, trying to channel a Sun editorial. Does Knight Commander, OBE in a New Year's Honour make sense?
