[subject line = elisem's description of her current story-writing]

Several of you have asked for more about "Placetne, J.K. Rowling?", the Sayers-Rowling poster I presented at Lumos, and _lore suggested that I put it up on my website -- which is a fantastic idea, only I'm unlikely to get around to it before next year. But, for now:

a snapshot of the poster

the PDF of the text published in the conference proceedings

[If you attended Lumos, it's on the purple and white CD in the goodie bag; I believe it's file 026 or thereabouts if you're running a version of Acrobat in which the TOC links don't work.]

The portraits on the poster (of Harriet, Peter, and Severus) were rendered by karasu_hime. The text on the CD contains more schtuff than I presented on the actual poster, but the actual poster had some sections I hadn't included in the CD text.

Anyhow, I do need to reorganize and expand it all for a course I'm expecting to teach next spring, so a web-based version is definitely now on my list. In the meantime, it's back to the eels...

Thank you! I'm about half-way through Sayers works. Thanks for adding a few more bricks to the foundation of my appreciation for her writing. Rowlings, too, whom I never give enough credit without this sort of prompting.

The art work is smashing! Now that I see them pictured this way, of course I realize that this is just how they must look. (Well, maybe my personal Snape is a tad less physically attractive... but I enjoy the rendering nonetheless.)
