Northwestern's Ellis, Smith vying for linebacker spot
BY SETH GRUEN Staff Reporter August 6, 2013 10:09PM
Updated: August 6, 2013 11:00PM
Linebackers Collin Ellis and Drew Smith are staging one of the most contentious position battles Northwestern will see through its three-week training camp. The duo is vying for the strong-side position.
It's too early for the coaches to determine who's the front-runner, considering the Wildcats have practiced twice without pads. But after Tuesday's practice, coach Pat Fitzgerald gave a glimpse as to how it might end.
"If it's a definite separation, then you'll probably see one guy more than the other," Fitzgerald said. "But if they're close, we'll rotate them, keep them fresh and away we go."
If the first two days are any indication, the latter is more likely.
Both players have been splitting first-team reps, playing with incumbent starters Damien Proby and Chi Chi Ariguzo.
By Fitzgerald's account, Ellis and Smith are very similar. Both are athletic and like to initiate contact, another indication that rotating the two could benefit the defense.
Neither player said he'd be happy with that outcome, though.
"Being a competitor, you don't want to settle for half," said Smith, a redshirt sophomore. "You don't want a piece of the pie, you want the whole thing. So I wouldn't be satisfied, but I wouldn't have angry feelings towards Collin. I'd just do what I have to do to make the team better."
Ellis, a redshirt junior, came into camp with an advantage having starting some last year.
More importantly, Ellis said he's as healthy as he's been heading into a training camp and is coming off an offseason in which he was able to add muscle. Previously, Ellis was saddled with what Fitzgerald called soft-tissue injuries that limited his offseason workouts.
"All we can do is go out there and give them every reason for us to start and so at the end, the coaches make the decision," Ellis said. "That's up to them. But you're going to see us both on the field because you've got to put both of us on the field at some point because we're both going to be making plays."

Bunnies as Pets? Not so Fast!
Cute and cuddly rabbits are better in chocolate form than as house pets.
If you're contemplating buying a pet rabbit just in time for Easter, think twice before you bring Bugs Bunny into your home. According to Mary Cotter, the vice president and education/outreach director of the House Rabbit Society, bunnies are not as easy to care for as you think.
"People buy them thinking they're great, low-maintenance starter pets, but that's a misconception," Cotter says. "[Bunnies are] closer to dogs and cats than they are to the so-called 'pocket pets.'"
Cotter adds that while some rabbits can be affectionate, most don't like to be held, and they prefer to be left alone. (So much for that stereotype!)
P.S. We can't think of any pets we'd put in our pockets, but maybe that's just us.

Shadow Play
On Tuesday night, the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalists gathered at Anna Wintour's town house to present their L'Oréal/Fashion Fund Special Project designs. "As guidelines we were each sent a package that contained a different L'Oréal dual eye shadow compact, butterfly, and word of inspiration," explained Richard Chai, who devised a blue and brown (his shadow colors) chiffon frock that called to mind the Roaring (his word) Twenties. Coco Rocha modeled the dress while Jamie Johnson donned a blue and brown Richard Chai suit. "Coco's teaching me how it's done," the documentary filmmaker said of the brunette beauty, who apparently isn't one to spare the rod. "She's given a few swift elbow jabs when I've gotten out of line," grinned Johnson, who apparently isn't one to mind.
Other famous faces on muse duty included Lake Bell, who teetered about in a pair of showstopping Alejandro Ingelmo platforms, and Olivia Thirlby, who made sure that her date, jewelry designer Irene Neuwirth, didn't go hungry. "Here, Irene, I found you a hamburger," she said proudly as she corralled a cater waiter. Leighton Meester was all about paying lip service…and not just to her designer escort, Jason Wu. "I just can't concentrate," she blurted out mid-interview. "I see a really cute guy over there." The gentleman in question made a beeline over to the Gossip Girl star. "Excuse me, do I know you from somewhere? Are you an actress?" he asked, grabbing Meester by the waist and passionately kissing her. "I'm sorry," she said, briefly coming up for air. "This is my boyfriend. We play this game all the time."

For years Gary Gibson has been one of my favorite science fiction writers and I've always felt that he's been unfairly dismissed by the SF community and award ceremonies but then again when was the last time Peter F, Hamilton, Neal Asher or Alastair Reynolds won anything? I've always found his stories to be magnificent in scope and his imagination intriguing so each new book was a reason for small personal celebration. However, with Extinction Game Gibson decided to shake things up a bit. You can't really say anything against Gibson's wish to do so as he's been steadily banging out space operas for some 10 odd years.
From the opening page Extinction Game feels a bit local when compared to his other stuff. Most of the plot takes place on a post-apocalyptic desolate Earth but it here's where the main twist and that glorious imagination come to their full force. Earth we are introduced at the beginning is just one of the many parallel, alternate and most importantly, devastated Earths. From each of these comes a single person, a last human alive rescued in the final moment by the Authority, a shadowy organization. Together they for a crack team of pathfinders tasked with recovering weapons and data from other Earths struck by apocalyptic events. Jerry Beche, a main protagonist and the only survivor of deadly viral attack on his Earth, is struggling to cope with this new situation and mistrusts both his new secretive masters and his team. But when things suddenly escalate beyond control, he'll have to make a choice and decide whom to eventually trust.
There's no discussing that Extinction Game is very different to other Gibson's output but constant readers will still find plenty to enjoy here. The way the story is present is reassuringly familiar and I was hooked up from early on because of its interesting premise. Alternate worlds always leave plenty of place for the authors to go completely bonkers. There physics and climate to play with but in this case Gibson stays mostly on the line. I suspect there was simply too much to tell to go full board. Between all the action, setting up a stage, and plenty of twist there wasn't must space to play with. Therefore certainly hope there's a sequel in the making as the whole setting is simply too good to be wasted on a single book. And not to forget, there's plenty of unanswered questions. But even if it turns out that Extinction Game is just one off, the main fact about it is that it is simply a damn good read. It's perhaps not Gibson's best book but I've simply stormed through it with that same sense of wonder and excitement that accompanied reading of his other work. What more can you wish for?

The Ultra Thin Man started out as just a title. It wasn't even consciously linked to Dashiell Hammett's noir novel The Thin Man until years later. I had no idea what the book would be about. The novel actually began way back in the early 1990s. As a way to stay in touch, my brother and I did some collaborative writing that hashed out some of the character and setting bits and the start of a plot, but we had no idea then where it would lead.
After years without an outline and just a dozen chapters, it was time to approach it more seriously. It had been ten-plus years since that title popped up. We both had lives and commitments, and always, without fail, I'd go back to the book and find myself fascinated—and more than a little curious—about where it was headed. Finally, after a five year stint with no new words, I asked my brother if I could write it on my own. He said yes.
The novel continued to languish. I had started my own small press magazine, Talebones, in 1995, and a micro book press, Fairwood Press, in 2000. I was teaching full time. I returned year after year to the The Ultra Thin Man, but found myself unhappy with that opening (about 20,000 words or so). I can't tell you how many times I rewrote those early chapters.
In the middle of 2009, I closed down Talebones. Starting that September, I wrote every day. I'd finally decided to forget the opening and just move ahead. I wrote practically nonstop, refusing to go back to any earlier chapters except to leave notes for myself to attend to later. I was still teaching full time. Still running my micro press. I completed a rough draft four months later, the day after New Year's. This was a space opera, to be sure, but also a mystery. I made sure to pay homage to noir fiction and film, realizing that without any conscious thought, I'd already done as much. I even discovered a few happy accidents upon re-reading Hammett's The Thin Man.
I am not an outliner. I find that knowing where I'm going spoils the story for me. I'm more of a follower. Ultimately, I had two private detectives on the run, trying to solve a mystery of interstellar importance. I told them to solve it for me and I'd follow along and write it all down.
I did some things in the novel that riffed on identity. The characterization of Dave Crowell and Alan Brindos definitely challenged me, due to their lack of knowledge about their own past lives. I chose to play on the paranoia behind not knowing who you are, or—more specific to the novel's plot—who anyone else is. In my universe, humans and aliens coexist, but what else is out there? The universe is huge. I'm reminded of the movie Contact, and Matthew Mcconaughey telling his daughter that if there isn't any extraterrestrial life out there, then it's an awful waste of space. There's always something out there bigger—or at least different—than you are. That aspect, along with the characters' own doubts, propelled the story forward.
Without an agent, I sold The Ultra Thin Man to the first editor who saw it, at Tor Books, but even that was after an 18 month long wait. Included during that time was a short rewrite request. I found an agent soon after, and the novel was on its way through the process of becoming a real entity.
A sequel is in the works, and I've been approaching it much the same way I wrote the first, without an outline. But I'm not waiting a dozen-plus years. I'm excited to find out how it all turns out.

We Will All Go Down Together's subtitle is "Stories of the Five-Family Coven," and that's where this all began—over a fifteen-year period, when I slowly realized that many of the short pieces I was writing shared characters and a world, at which point I began to ask myself why that was. The world involved was, from the beginning, a variation on my own: Toronto, Ontario, Canada, where I've lived my whole life, much of it labouring under the assumption that to be Canadian is to be boring, bland, mildly ridiculous...a knock-off version of someone else's overbearing cultural influence, British up until the 1960s, American afterwards.
But this gets to wear on you, particularly if you're interested in A) genre and B) horror, so I deliberately set out to create a version of my home town/province where things could be just as dark, weird and inherently dangerous as in any other country, while still sharing many of the characteristics of CanCon ("Canadian Content," the standard by which we reckon our cultural product output) that I find most "Canadian": the detached body horror freakishness of David Cronenberg, the snarky-anarchic humour of Ivan Reitman, the casual fabulism of Denis Villeneuve.
What I ended up with was six previously published stories and four written from scratch, including a novella which hopefully brings all the characters and their various threads together for a slam-bang conclusion. Because the six previously published ones all appeared in fairly disparate and obscure places, I think it's likely that most people won't have read all of them—but better yet, they definitely won't have read them in context, which is what this book provides.
All the characters are linked by a personal mythology which traces back to Scotland in the Burning Times, when their ancestors came together to form what was (briefly) called the "Five-Family Coven." The families in question—Druir, Roke, Rusk, Devize, Glouwer—are made up of monstrous creatures, to one degree or another: a Fae changeling who married the head of a noble Scots family, a British border lord descended from hereditary magicians, and three witches. All therefore had a vested interest in upsetting the "natural" balance of the world, but at the last minute, the aristocrats turned against their non-aristocratic counterparts, and just like today, money talked; the witches were burnt while the border lord managed to skate unprosecuted, and the changeling relocated her threatened family via time-travelling magic from Dourvale, Scotland in the 1600s to Dourvale, Ontario at the turn of the 20th century.
Since then, the Coven's descendants have intermarried and interbred incestuously, even while simultaneously pursuing a passionate vendetta with each other. By the new millennium, the people who represent these various factions include a former Catholic priest who runs a magic object pawnshop, the star warrior in a secret order of monster-killing nuns, a woman who runs a ghost-removal service, and the most powerful—yet totally uncontrolled—spirit medium in Canada. They, their various friends and allies are all drawn into the search for a folksinger stolen by the changeling's family, which sends them hunting through the wilds of rural Ontario for a town that exists in two places and eras at once, where their ancient quarrel will finally be brought to an end. (There are also angels, evil and otherwise, but all equally terrible.)
The trick, overall, was to braid the existing stories together by picking up on the hints of a greater narrative lurking inside them, which meant creating new characters, re-interpreting older ones, and generally figuring out my world-building on the fly. The single most difficult aspect was continuity, because I hadn't looked at some of these stories since I'd written them, which made the editing process a very nit-picky variety of hell, but I'm proud of the result; it examines a lot of the themes which inform most of my other work, particularly the idea of both reconciling yourself with and distancing yourself from your own heritage (especially the more negative aspects thereof), and also puts together a lot of my lifelong thoughts about the inherent pitfalls of being Canadian. So in a way, black magic and time travel aside, it may well be the most realistic thing I've ever written.
In terms of direct inspiration, meanwhile, a very large puzzle-piece was provided by the introduction of folk music, which is where I originally got a lot of my early ideas about British and Scots folklore, including the Fae and witches. My parents divorced when I was nine, which meant that I travelled on my own to and from Australia to visit with my father at a very early age, and one time when I was eleven, I returned to find that my Mom had purchased a record by Joan Baez called Baptism, a celebration of poetry in music which includes a song she made out of Henry Treece's poem "The Magic Wood." I was heavily jet-lagged and it was the middle of the night, but this song freaked me out so badly that I couldn't sleep after I heard it. It's the one I quote at the very beginning of the book, whose chorus concludes with the admonition: You must not go to the wood at night.
So there you go. Google it and play it on repeat while reading, at least for the first story. You probably won't thank me.

What I have always loved about science fiction is that it can remind us of the genuine and often shocking strangeness of the natural world, and that it can do so without losing sight of human fragility, human courage, and the drama of daily human life. That's the line I tried to walk in the writing of Burning Paradise, and more generally in all my fiction: something strange, set against something human.
Burning Paradise features not one but two varieties of Something Strange. The story takes place in the present day, but in an alternate history which resembles our own except that the last century has been remarkably peaceful and untroubled—a world in which the Great War of 1914 was the last serious global conflict. The explanation involves a different kind of Something Strange: all this relative calm has been orchestrated by a non-human entity for purposes of its own.
The universe is a big place. Our galaxy alone is a treasure-box of stars, and most of those stars host families of planets. If life is common, many of those planets will be biologically active. Some of them may harbor highly evolved forms of life, perhaps even civilizations much older than ours. Which means any technology that's both possible and useful has probably already been invented—perhaps used for centuries and ultimately abandoned, all long before the planet Earth condensed out of the dust halo of our nascent sun. And if that's the case, where are these technology-using civilizations or their artifacts? Why haven't we seen any evidence of their past or present existence? That question has been codified as "the Fermi Paradox" (after the physicist Enrico Fermi, who first proposed it). I don't claim to have an answer, but Burning Paradise adopts one hypothesis that has long been suggested: maybe the aliens are here, in a form we don't recognize or which has been carefully concealed from us.
Maybe that's because the aliens don't act or think the way we might expect them to. Come to that, maybe they don't "think" at all. Consider insects: ants and termites build elaborate artificial structures and orchestrate complex social behavior, even though they lack anything we would recognize as moral or intellectual thought. What if the same is true of our hypothetical aliens?
Which led me (as these airy speculations so often do) down another, entirely different rabbit-hole. Philosophers have long pondered the concept of what has come to be called "the philosophical zombie," a creature indistinguishable from a human being but which has no conscious experience, no sense of its own existence, no real sentience at all. Maybe, I thought, my aliens fall into that category: no more self-aware than termites or spiders, but complex enough to generate plausible imitations of human beings.
The notion of such creatures as parasites is a venerable one in science fiction. Many of us first encountered it in one or another film version of Jack Finney's 1954 novel Invasion of the Body Snatchers. It's a deeply creepy scenario, one that gave me more than a few nightmares after I watched the early black-and-white movie directed by Don Siegel (I was ten years old). But parasitism, scary as it is, isn't the only option. What about symbiosis—a relationship between two species in which each gains some benefit in exchange for what it loses? What would it be like to discover that humanity was already embedded in such a relationship, and that the price of giving it up might be very high indeed? Would you choose human autonomy, even if it meant the end of peaceful human thriving?
That seemed like an interesting dilemma with which to confront a set of characters (my Something Human) who are uniquely vulnerable to such an alien entity—or who might pose a threat to it. Cassie Iverson, 19 years old, is one of those characters, along with her aunt Nerissa, an English professor, and her uncle Ethan, an entomologist and author of a book, The Fisherman and the Spider, in which he has encoded certain unspeakable truths about human history. Because of what they know, Cassie and her family find the whole apparatus of human and alien culture suddenly turned against them.
It was challenging and interesting to write the villains in Burning Paradise, precisely because they aren't villains in the traditional sense—they aren't vicious, angry, or immoral. What they are is utterly and completely amoral: they simply cannot factor morality into their calculations. Moral choices, for them, don't exist. They aren't inherently violent but they will use violence without hesitation if it appears to serve their purposes. And it often does. Which means Cassie and company are literally fighting for their lives, the result being a novel with more head-on action scenes than I'm accustomed to writing. (One early reader called it my "most propulsive" novel. I asked twice, to make sure she hadn't said "repulsive.") Creating a plausible, peaceful alternative history of the twentieth century was another challenge. I worked up a timeline I liked, most of which never made it into the finished book except as casual references to past events, the names of schools and highways, implicit political assumptions, and certain acts of large-scale engineering conspicuous by their presence or absence. The research itself was interesting and a constant temptation to neglect the act of writing in favor of just, well, learning something—about European history, the geology of the Atacama Desert, Ophiocordyceps unilateralis (the fungus that causes infected ants to climb trees). . .
But basically, once I found my theme and characters, the writing of Burning Paradise was straightforward. The story more or less carried me along with its own momentum, though not without the inevitable moments of fingernail-chewing doubt and the constant alchemical transformation of despair to elation and back again. At the copyedit stage my editor asked me to expand the conclusion a little bit, which seemed reasonable, given my bad habit of hinting at resolutions and figuring readers can draw their own conclusions.
I'm reasonably pleased with the finished product, but what I like best about Burning Paradise is that it hews pretty closely to the elementary relationship at the heart of it: something strange and something human, a story of three fragile human beings and what might be lurking unseen in the deeps of the night sky.

When I was a teenager, I lived on a steady diet of fantasy novels.
It was both the early nineties and the late eighties and I owned a lot of band t-shirts for bands I will, in truth, not admit to owning, anymore. (Much to my regret at the time, I never owned the Metallica t-shirt for the album Ride the Lightning. It featured a pristine white toilet with a sword being thrust out it. Beneath it was the tag line, Metal Up Your Ass. This should tell you all you need to know.) I had long hair. I had a vaguely uninteresting set of report cards that characterised me, politely, as a slacker. Indeed, that is what I was. I was gloriously free of ambition. I had no plans for the future and no interest in the future and it left me with a lot of time to fuck around, fuck off, and, er, read fantasy novels.
I read everything I could get my hands on. Margaret Weis and Tracey Hickman were my early teen idols. I purchased all of their books. I read the original Dragonlance Trilogy multiple times. I read Forgotten Realms books. I read Dark Sun books. I read Thieves World books. I read Raymond E. Feist's Magician before he rewrote it. Then I read the rewritten version (it was better, but it made the following books worse). I read Terry Brooks. I read David Eddings. I read both their first books or in the case of Eddings, first series before I read Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, so I had no idea how heavily they ripped him off until I read his books as well. I read Lynn Abbey's novels. I read Melanie Rawn's books. I read David Gemmell's books. I read everything that offered a sword, a castle and a dragon it helped if it was on the cover and I read right up until I was given a copy of Robert Jordan's The Eye of the World, the first book in the Wheel of Time.
I had just finished High School in a fashion that can only be described as without distinction. I had plans to go to University if I got decent marks, or to find a job, but they were distant plans, months away plans, because before then, I had plans to fuck off, fuck around and, y'know, read fantasy novels.
I made it about half way through before I put it down.
I had no real specific complaints, except that I had seen it before. A few nights later, I told a friend that it just didn't do much for me. We might have been driving in his car at the time. After all, we had free time and licenses and a really, really small pool of cash. With the hindsight of someone in his thirties now, I suspect the reason I wasn't so interested in the book had more to do with being eighteen, with being free of school, and with a new world to explore, and I suppose, in a fashion, I knew that at the time as well.
In the years after that, I still read. A whole new world of literature opened up to me, and I found it, and embraced it, with all the love I had given fantasy. I met women. I found a whole new world of music. I got better clothes. My conversation improved. I might have developed a vague amount of ambition, but lets not get too ahead of ourselves, here. After all, I put a lot of time into becoming a writer, and nothing says still a slacker like shirking real world responsibilities for art. Somewhere around this time, I became a projectionist, and then ended up with a doctorate, and I lost my shit and got my shit together in the ways that you do. Women came, women went; so did friends and, yes, my hair as well. But I kept all my fingers and toes, and all my eyes and teeth, and I take only a minimum amount of medication, which puts me about on even with the experience of my twenties, I suspect. But it was not so shocking, and not so amazing, that it needs a lot of detail spent on it. I enjoyed it. You might not have.
But then, around four, five years ago, I hit a rough patch in my career as a writer. On the urging of an editor of a major publishing house, I had written a book, and he, for his part, did not read it. I ditched my agent and got a new one. My new agent ditched me. A new editor and publisher agreed to buy the book. And then they did not. It isn't much of a story: a lot of writers have experienced it, but for all its frequency, it really does suck. It forced me to step back and to ask myself why I was doing what I was doing. I had put fifteen years into my career. I was broke. I felt I had lost the gains I had made, which was silly, because the gains I had made in craft could not be taken away from me. But I felt that I had to start over, and if I had to start over, maybe, I thought, I should just start over at something else. I could become a public speaker. A journalist. A teacher. An Olympian ping pong champion. I could hunt dinosaurs through time...
Well, you know how it goes.

One of the finest moments in my career as a reviewer for Upcoming4.me was when I saw that a statement from my review of "War Master's Gate" ended up as a blurb on "The Seal of the Worm". Now, I've been blurbed plenty of times before but the simple thing is that the whole "Shadows of the Apt" is a very special fantasy series for me. As far as I'm concerned, it is an extraordinary phenomena in modern fantasy and I can't recommend it strongly enough. Straight for the opening page of "Empire in Black and Gold" Adrian has provided an innovative setting and engaging storytelling which captivated me from the word go and our intense relationship continued over the course of the next eight books. The most remarkable thing about it is how consistent the series as a whole is. Written over a relatively short span of time, later installments don't stray too far away from tried and tested formula of the opening novel and the bloating of the pages is strangely absent. It feels like Adrian suddenly spawned into existence as a fully formed writer, with already developed skills and confident in his craft.
So, the final and tenth installment is finally here and as you can imagine I approached reading "The Seal of the Worm" with a bittersweet taste in my mouth. I definitely wanted to find out the ending but then again I didn't really want to reach it too fast. Better person than me would probably read it slowly but as lacking in character as I am, I've just stormed through it and, to tell you the truth, I've had a blast of a time.
"The Seal of the Worm" is a conclusion of a story spanning ten books so, understandably, you shouldn't read it before you've read the rest of the series first. The story pretty much continues the plot from the previous two book book and the circumstances surrounding the Worm take the center-stage. The seal has been broken by Empress Seda and now Che, Thalric and their ragtag band of companions who are trapped in the realm of the worm after the event depicted in "War Master's Gate" have some stark choices ahead of them. Stenwold Maker and some other known characters also makes a welcome return, instantly kicking off one of the largest battles of the series. The pace that "The Seal of the Worm" moves on is suitably frenetic and as all the plotlines ultimately converge to a single point they build up a massive, epic ending.
Not to spoil too much, "The Seal of the Worm" is a conclusion I could've only hoped for and in the end it felt more like a precursor to short separation than a full stop. All of the most important questions have been answered but Adrian cunningly left open just enough threads to whet up appetite for more stories which will inevitably come in the future. As things stand now "Shadows of the Apt" as a series has been finished in the best possible way - with a fast-paced, no hold barred rush to the finish line. An excellent and fitting ending.

I'm most passionate about writing when I'm annoyed with something. For Drakenfeld, I had become a bit annoyed with various discussions of fantasy books. I had noticed a trend, in very broad and casual terms, that people were beginning to associate the level of violence and 'grit' in a fantasy novel with how good a book it was. That dialogue in certain quarters, subconsciously or otherwise, was being dismissive of fiction that did not have much in the way of visceral action. 'Grimdark' characters could rape, murder, and revel in it - and that was being deemed as mature fiction. As grown up.
Which is plainly crap.
Grimdark – itself a term unconsciously borrowed from a Warhammer 40,000 tagline – had become the latest trend and the dominant expression of fantasy fiction. (Actually, that's a bit of a lie - it's the dominant expression of fantasy fiction discussion, not necessarily in terms of the books that are sold.) Violence, in itself, is something I don't have an issue with in fiction. It's inert - neither good nor bad, clever nor dumb. But when it was being held up as fiction to aspire to, it made me just a tad grumpy. Now I'd written a fair bit of violent fiction myself in the past, so I'm not offering a critique of books or authors with any of this. The books are simply the books. It was the developing attitude that surrounded them that I felt was strange. I mean, death and rape? Not so good. If such things happen in the real world, you wouldn't not like the people who committed that act and you certainly wouldn't revel in it. You would also see how lives are genuinely ruined; how people are scarred long after the event; how families and communities are shattered. Grimdark, even if touched upon in my own fiction, began to no longer sit well with me.
I don't buy that grimdark is really realism either, because (a) this is fantasy and (b) good people exist in the real world just as much as the bad; it's just that our minds latch on to the bad people, especially when we're hammered by negative news stories every day. (That sites like Upworthy exist is a response to that kind of negative attitude online, I suspect.) I get that fantasy had to do something different in response to the gentle, innocent, magical quests of the 80s, and that happened in 1996 with the publication of A Games of Thrones, but there have been hundreds of grimdark books since then.
A lot can be written about the whys and hows of the rise of grimdark, whether it's cultural, driven by images of war or computer games or whatever; but that's another blog post. My concern at the time was: had an initial effort for realism become hyper-realism? Had book discussions mistaken that macho over-the-topness for all that's good about the fantasy genre?
So I had become annoyed, which is a good sign for me when it comes to writing. I wanted to take on that discussion in some way. The options ahead of me were to: bash out another blog post, which would get lost in the aether of constant online rage. To hang around arguing on forums or comments threads, because people always listen to what's said in comments threads. Or another option entirely, which was to use a different platform: the book.
That's how Drakenfeld began.
I wanted to write about a good character, Lucan Drakenfeld, and make him interesting. I wanted to drop a good character in bad, awful situations, to see how he might react. I wanted to write about a mature character, dealing with mature themes, without making him thirst for blood. I wanted him to look at women as if they were, you know, actual people too and not (a) heaving bosoms (b) people to be saved (c) rape victims. It's not to say there's no toughness or violence in his world, but that the violence is not where the glory lies. Also, I found it far more interesting for a character of good morals to engage with negative situations, because there pain of a different kind to be found. By toning down the violence in my own fiction, I also began to enjoy other senses and emotions a lot more, because they weren't in the shadow of something visceral.
Whether or not Drakenfeld worked, it's not for me to decide. All I can say is that it was a conscious attempt to do a few things for readers. For those who enjoyed grimdark fiction, it was a chance to say, maybe try this and see what you think. For those who were sick of endless death and rape in their fiction, it was a chance to say there was something else. There was a whole bunch of other stuff too - attempts at cross-overs for crime fans, for historical readers and so forth, but it wasn't what kicked off the novel. Drakenfeld came from me being annoyed, and hopefully some good came of that.

All too often in fantasy and even history, authors write and readers read about either the rise or fall of great empires… or about what happens in great empires. But what happens after the fall of a great empire? There's an unspoken assumption of total chaos and a lack of any continuity. But is that really so? In the Saga of Recluce, one of the greatest empires is that of Cyador, created by colonists from the Rational Stars marooned not just on a strange planet, but in an entirely different universe. Yet they built a powerful empire, governed from Cyad, the City of Light, the most glorious metropolis that ever graced the planet. For nearly 800 years, the holders of the Malachite Throne have ruled the west of Candar, and then, literally in a single day, Cyador falls, as told in The Chaos Balance.
Were there any survivors? Who were they? What happened to them? Do they have any impact on the future of the world of Recluce? Those are questions I wanted to answer, and those answers, or at least some of them, lie in Cyador's Heirs and in Heritage of Cyador, which will be published this coming November. Because I did not write the Saga of Recluce in chronological order, readers who have read all the books published so far know that there is a link between Cyador and the later Empire of Hamor, located on an entirely different continent, but there are only hints, pieces of a great historical puzzle, such as the fact that the legal code of Hamor is remarkably similar in many respects to that of Cyador. And then there is the ring worn by an Emperor of Cyador that is gifted, centuries later, to the son of a mage-guard of Hamor… or the question of the golden chains… or the source of shimmercloth.
One of my other reasons for writing these two books, and indeed, for writing the entire Saga of Recluce in the way that I have, is that too many fantasy empires and kingdoms exist in a historical void. Oh, if the writer is good, and most do their homework, the structure is sound and the empire would work, at least in the way the writer intended. But few ask the question of how that empire came to be, how in functioned and impacted the world, how it declined and what that meant, and what happened after that. Each Recluce book tells a story, one about people, what happened to them, who triumphed and who failed, and why, but each is set in a far larger historical context, and each culture and land has its heroes and villains, and more than a few times, who is villain and who is hero is determined by the viewpoint of who is telling the tale – even when the facts of what happened are exactly the same.
In the Recluce Saga, I am telling history not from the top down, but from the bottom up. Even when a character is well-connected, talented, or has a position in society, he or she only knows, and the reader only sees what that character knows or can discover. Every book in the saga has events and facts that relate to other times, places, and events… because in real life, that's the way it is, and that's the way I try to tell it in my fiction. So, while a historian might see Lerial as the second son of the Duke, and therefore privileged, the reader gets to know him as the younger brother who struggles not to get black and blue in sparring with his older brother, as the young man with unruly red hair and freckles, and as a man whose opportunities in love and marriage will always be considered after those of his older brother.Cyador's Heirs begins with the meeting of a red-headed boy with a girl several years younger in a town that did not exist fifteen years earlier, a town clawed from barren land purchased by… but for the details, you'll have to read the book.

As silly and mystic as it sound, the idea for Delia's Shadow started with a dream.
In this dream, a young woman dressed in old-fashioned clothing stood next to a railroad track. Night had fallen, bringing pearly gray fog with it. A satchel sat at her feet and steam from the locomotive billowed around her, swirling and writhing in a very creepy way. Delia was looking over her shoulder, watching for the person following her.
I couldn't get this image out of my head or stop thinking about who was following Delia, and why. Well, it turned out that the person following her was a ghost. Why this particular ghost decided to haunt Delia turned out to be very important. Once I knew why, the whole book fell into my head.
Delia Martin has always seen ghosts, but only as glimpses of faces watching from a corner, or faded haunts walking through walls. After the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire, that changes. The sheer number of spirits seeking her out overwhelms Delia, and she flees to New York hoping to escape ghosts. That works for almost three years.
But one morning she discovers a ghost standing at the foot of her bed, a ghost that refuses to go away. Shadow, as she comes to call this spirit, follows her relentlessly, invades her dreams, and demands things of Delia. Delia finds herself compelled to discover what Shadow wants from her and lay the ghost to rest. She goes home to San Francisco as a result.
At the same time, Lieutenant Gabe Ryan is hunting for a serial killer. This killer treats San Francisco as his own personal hunting ground, picking and choosing his victims at random, and vanishing into the city again. The killer torments Gabe with letters describing how his victims died, and claiming many more victims than the police have found.
Between what Gabe uncovers in the course of his investigation, and what the ghost reveals to Delia, they discover that the killer is the same man who committed a series of murders thirty years before and vanished without a trace.
So I had two major ideas in my head as a result of this dream, two ideas that came together and became one. But ideas are easy. Taking those basic, rough concepts and making them into a novel worth reading is where the real work starts.
Choosing the time period was easy, as was deciding that five of the main characters were women; six if you count the ghost. The women in this book are multi-generational as well. I wanted to write realistic women at different stages in their lives, women with different strengths and weaknesses, but all of whom were determined to make their own choices.
1915 really was at the beginning of what we think of as the modern age. Cars were becoming as common as horse drawn buggies and wagons. Women had already won the vote in California years before and were proud of their independence. Women's roles were changing, attitudes were changing, and the flapper era was just around the corner.
Another early decision was not to let the darkness in this book become the sole focus of the story. Lots of scary, terrible things happen in this book, but the story also revolves around deep friendships and hope, family and love, and the idea that no matter how grim things get, there is always someone there to pick you up and dust you off. That was important to me.
This was both one of the easiest and one of the hardest books I've written. The intense amount of research required meant I spent a lot of time learning about serial killers, how depraved they can be, and what methods for catching a killer were available to a homicide detective in 1915. A lot of what I learned was pretty gruesome.
I had to learn about the different social climate and attitudes of one hundred years ago, clothing styles, and so much more. I love doing that kind of work, and nailing the small details that sink the reader deep into the world I'm building. I also have this ingrained drive to get as much "right" as humanly possible. That required a lot of checking and rechecking details, right down to when certain words came into common usage.
The easy parts of this book were the characters. Gabe and Delia, Jack and Sadie and Dora—I loved them all. I just finished the third book in this series and I still love them.
A writer can't ask for more than that.

To say that Scandal fans are very vocal about the ABC political fixer drama would be an understatement. But those devoted Gladiators took things to a whole new level after Thursday's shocking episode, in which Jake Ballard (Scott Foley) brutally killed James Novak (Dan Bucatinsky) in order to protect the Republic.
Scandal's Jeff Perry: Cyrus can't let this death be in vain
Viewers were distraught that Jake had seemingly crossed a line by killing a character — and two other women — that they had come to care about.

CALGARY — Niko Resources Ltd. (TSX:NKO), a Calgary company that operates in Asia, says it has struck deals to acquire Black Gold Energy LLC, its partner in all of the Canadian company's Indonesian offshore energy properties.
The deal will cost the company $310 million and will be financed by an offering of debentures, Niko said early Wednesday.
The company said once the transaction is complete, Niko will hold an interest in 12.1 million net exploration acres in Indonesia, making it one of the larger holders of deepwater exploration prospects in the southeast Asian country, which is one of the world's biggest energy producers.
"Niko is attracted to this additional acreage due to its excellent prospectivity, good fiscal terms and proximity to the growing Asian oil and gas market, said Edward Sampson, chairman and CEO of Niko. "In addition, the Black Gold team is impressive both in terms of knowledge and technology. Niko will now have an
unparalleled platform to add shareholder value by growing in Indonesia and beyond."
The acquisition requires about $310 million of financing. Niko said it plans to pay for the deal with convertible debentures and has executed related agreements. The debentures will be held by Maju Investments, a subsidiary of Temasek Holdings, an Asian investor headquartered in Singapore.
The transactions are subject to the approval of the Indonesian government and lenders under the company's existing credit facility.
Niko operates in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia and other countries, producing natural gas and oil.

This post was deleted for the following reason: Combination OWS + lousy cops + provocative pullquote +single link outrage filter really needs to be a different sort of post for MetaFilter. Otherwise it's just outragefilter with nothing much to discuss and a bunch of people angrily agreeing with each other with a lot of free ranging bad feeling that they use on each other. If this is going to be a MeFi post, make it differently. -- jessamynposted by Edogy at 11:06 AM on May 4, 2012 [2 favorites]
I can understand wanting to delete all news threads entirely. 'Cuz, you know, this isn't a friggin' current events blog.We always have news posts. Should there be a bias towards certain kinds of news over others? My last FPP was fairly "news-y" (albeit 'good' news if you don't like Zynga) and well received.
This presupposes that mefi is a news outlet rather than a general interest community blog where sometimes newsy stuff gets posted. We're not sanitizing any news by nixing not so great posts about news (good or bad, but honestly pretty overwhelmingly it's bad news that people post), we're mixing posts that seem like they're not great for this place.Yeah, I disagree. "Sanitize" just means cleaning, or making something more palatable. Removing posts that are crap in general would fit the definition, but of course that's fine. The problem is that the rules you guy are using causes an emergent phenomenon that biases the news that does get posted. Just like how the NYT, supposedly, told a reporter it wasn't "news".
Unlike the NYT, we are not a news agency, and the question is not whether or not it's news. I do not know how much clearer this can be: an argument that a post should stick around because it's core subject "is news" is a non-starter, much as I understand some folks would like that to be otherwise.I'm not saying "it should stay because it's news", but rather the criteria used to determine which news stories stay and which go introduces is an systematic bias, which I don't think is a good bias to have. I guess the particular post wasn't that great, but I'm not a fan of the pattern.
"However the site also has its own goals or mission and this isn't to be a place where people just talk about the news of the day. Sometimes they do, sure, but it's not the main purpose of the site. The main purpose of the site is sharing cool stuff you found on the web that you'd like to discuss with other people."is a surprising gaff -- a significant proportion of threads and total comments of all threads come directly from "news of the day", and such threads which link to news sources from newspapers, magazines, journals, and blogs which discuss "news" are a significant chunk of your stake-holders and "community".
If you're planning to post a story to MetaFilter that is part of a longstanding, often-discussed topic (Israel/Palestine, the Iraq war, how stupid Republicans are, etc.), think hard about whether the site you're linking to actually has anything new to say on the topic. (Wiki)Policy is publicly discussed and debated here on MetaTalk, as we're doing now, and any changes are announced here. It's not secret, and it's not based on whim.
axegrindfilter - you posted on a hot-button topic that you frequently post about and/or used heavy-handed editorializing language. (from the list of common deletion reasons in the FAQ)
It all begins with the manuscript. Here's a scenario attributed to Henry Kissinger. When he was Secretary of State, one of his aides was responsible for a writing assignment that had to be completed by the next day. The aide assured his boss that the report would be on his desk first thing in the morning.My point is not that the mods are deleting things without reading them. My point is, they rarely delete something and say "You can't talk about this here." Almost always, they delete something and say "This is not good enough. Make a better post and submit it tomorrow."
The next day, the aid kept his promise. However, later that same day, Kissinger called the aide into his office and asked him to rewrite it.
The aide took the report in hand and went about rewriting it; the next day, he proudly handed the work to Kissinger. Again, later that afternoon, Kissinger gave the report back to the aide with the instructions to rewrite it.
This back and forth went on for several more times. Finally, on this particular draft of the report, the aide, weary from all the work, said: "Here is the report, Mr. Secretary. This is the best I can do; I can't make it better."
Kissinger took the report, and then looked up at the aide, saying: "Good, now I'll read it."
You get the point, I trust.

I've been really into stick and poke tattoos lately. I did the top two on my friend Lillie and the 94 on myself. It's for 1994, the year my brother passed away. I also did the letter M on my calf and a triforce (hollaback Zelda fans) on the bottom of my foot.
Tattooing feels really personal to me, even though I don't always get tattoos that are loaded with a ton of meaning. I usually get one after I've been dumped, but I don't consider the 94 to be the one I'm due for. If you live in LA and want a stick and poke, reach out! They're free, of course.

Comcast Acquires Your Family Photos
In a bold move sure to have far-reaching implications across the entertainment industry, Comcast announced plans to acquire all of your family photos on March 1st, 2010.
The merger, oft-speculated by analysts, will bring Comcast's telecommunications services, NBC Universal's programming, and photos of you from Disney World in 1983 all under the new brand Xfinity. In a press release, Comcast heralded the acquisition of your childhood memories as "a bold step forward in our constant efforts to bring new content to our customers when they want it and at an affordable price."
Comcast will offer all of your family photos as part of their Platinum Digital Cable package. $79.99 per month will "allow you on-demand access to all your favorite family photos, ready to be viewed with just a press of a button."
The acquisition is expected to result in the removal of your family photos from Flickr, iPhoto, and that hatbox in your mom's house. While many criticize the move as monopolistic, Comcast executives claim the merger will "at last provide the monetization of your prom pictures that has been impossible from outlets like your grandmother's mantle."
Analysts speculate this could lead to later acquisitions by Comcast of your elementary school art projects, your high school yearbooks, and that Moleskine journal you wrote short story ideas in last summer.

Your Misery And Hate Will Kill Us All2 Reviews
Gerard can't explain to the others what he can't yet explain to himself ... (FRANKS POV)
FRANKS POV (cause lets face everything's better that way lol )
Today was going to be a long day, i could feel it. After last night little 'incident' least to say i was scared shitless. I couldn't get back to sleep, so i just stared up at the ceiling until sunrise which in actuality was only about 3 hours. Gerard's fit or whatever was pretty early in the morning and had woken us all up. I still wasn't sure what had even happened. No doubt Gerard would be asking questions. He looked so confused when he woke up ... so lost. It was probably just a really bad night terror due to stress or something. Okay even i didn't believe that, but i wanted too.
At 7.30 deciding it was time to get coffee, i left my bunk to look in at Gee. Still sleeping. Guess those pills worked, he was on the verge of a panic attack last night. I gently kissed his forehead i was still in shock and worried about him, i was normally the sick one. I made some coffee and had a quick shower, but must've woken the guys because when i got out they were both sitting there with distressed looks on their faces. Guess they had some theories too.
''um, hey'' Ray bit his lip nervously ''So you get enough sleep last night?''
''What do you think?'' i mumbled sarcastically, sitting down for more coffee. They didn't look to rested either. Mikey had bags under his eyes and Ray's fro was sticking out all over the place.
''Gee awake? '' i asked, hoping to get to the point quicker and avoid all this small talk.
Mikey sighed ''No, not yet anyway'' he turned towards the bunk room. '' do you think he's ... using again'' he whispered in a concerned tone. My blood boiled at his comment. ''NO!'' i exclaimed probably a little too loudly. ''He would never, anyway it was only a nightmare why are we getting so worked up over it maybe it was something he ate?''
Ray shook his head ''No Frankie, this was different to any nightmare he's had. It was like he was having a seizure or something, it was scary.'' his voice became hushed at that last part.
There was a deathly silence in the room and Mikey buried his head in his hands. I put my arm around him, and shot a look at Ray. ''Sorry'' he said hoping not to have upset the younger Way too much ''ya know it's probably just stress i mean every one deals with it in different ways''. Mikey raised his head and gave a small nod, he was always worried about Gee despite being the younger sibling. Gerard could be a more fragile person at times and if something was wrong he would never want to trouble us with it.
We heard Gee get up and walk to the bathroom at about 10.00 . We were on our way to a hotel in Philadelphia to play at the Tower theater but had a 2 day break before hand which was rare. We were sitting round the dining table when Gee stumbled in looking tired, pale and afraid. Was he frightened of our reactions to the previous night? It hurt me to think that he thought we would be angry for whatever reason.
''hi '' his voice sounded broken from crying
'' hey, you alright? '' Ray asked already worried by our friends appearance, he looked like he could collapse at any second.
''Ummm yeah just really really tired '' he confessed as he pulled up a chair. As if on cue Mikey pushed a mug of coffee towards him. The ultimate sign of brotherly love. He gave a weak smile. After a few awkward minutes in silence he spoke.
''W-What happened last night'' he turned to face me ''Frankie you said we would talk about it in the morning'' his voice sounded so confused and innocent but i was still unsure myself. I glanced at Mikey.
''I woke up and you were tossing, turning whimpering in your sleep. so i went to your bunk to comfort you because you were crying. '' Mikey looked up to study his older brothers face ''then you covered your ears and started screaming, y-you wouldn't wake u-up'' Mikey began stutter as he watch Gerard's face turn even whiter (if that was possible) and his eyes widen. Ray took over from here.
''You were screaming something about being sorry and that it wasn't your fault, Gerard what were you dreaming about? '' Gerard looked down at the table.
''why does it matter'' he whispered in a small voice. Mikey got up and walked round to Gee and pulled him into a embrace
''please Gee '' he began ''if we know what your nightmare was about we can find out whats wrong, please you don't look right...you look sick''.
''Mikes i'm fine trust me, just a bit tired and creeped out by this dream but don't worry i can handle this''. He gave us a crooked smile.
''Okay boys we're here'' the driver shouted from the front of the bus. Gerard hopped off the bus seemingly happy that we had dropped the subject. I shook my head. Last time he said he could handle it he almost killed himself. This was going to be a very long day.

This was something I have been making over the past week, spending many hours on it. This game can be beaten in less than a minute, but then if you do that, you miss out on exploring the intricate world. Use arrows to move. There are many little hidden things in the world that can be interacted with, simply find them and click them, and in a few cases, you must do this to continue your journey.
The game is rather graphic intensive, despite its purposeful sketchy appearance. Reduce quality in the context (Right-Click) menu.
Anyways, happy Valentines Day!

Backstage At Roberto Cavalli, "Tough, Boyish, Cool" Girls Still Reign
The makeup artist job at Roberto Cavalli has been something of a revolving door of late. The past three seasons have seen three different face painters take the reins backstage at the show, although the ever-present Cavalli girl herself—who will not be parted from her black eyeliner—has made the transition of power a relatively seamless one. For Fall, Lucia Pieroni was tasked with bringing her own spin to the house's "sexy, punky" vibe, which resulted in an "oily eye"—not to be confused with a greasy eye. "I'm bored of greasy eyes," Pieroni admitted.
Rimming lids with a black kohl pencil, she blended MAC Eyeshadows in Black Tied, a shimmering onyx, and Carbon, a matte obsidian, into an elongated shape underneath the lower lash line and on top of the lids. Adding multiple swipes of its Haute & Naughty mascara close to the lash line, she etched a taupe-y pencil along the inside of the eye to open things up. Then came the oily effect, for which Pieroni slicked on a new MAC Pro Eye Gloss prototype in Black Sea, a high-shine, glitter-flecked cream-gel hybrid that she blended to sheer perfection just before models hit the runway. "You can plunk it on, which makes it really thick, like tar," she said of the multitasking product, "or you can fade it out so it doesn't get everywhere," Pieroni laughed, anticipating the pigment's inevitable sticky aftereffects, as she toned down lips and patted MAC's fortcoming Cream Eyeshadow in Oyster, a shimmering pearl, on the top of models' cheekbones for a luminescent highlight.
Guido Palau was honoring the "tough, boyish, cool girl" code that has long ruled here as well, via wet hair that was molded to models' individual head shapes. Blow-drying strands with Redken Shine Flash 02 Glistening Mist and its forthcoming Diamond Oil Shatterproof Shine Intense, Palau created severe center parts, which he flattened with his fingers and its Forceful 23 Super Strength Finishing Spray. "It has to be, like, a lot of it," Palau stressed of the quantity of hairspray required to create the kind of reflective, damp surface he was after. "Using shine rather than dry [texture] feels much more luxurious to me right now," he conceded of what has become one of his favorite looks for Fall—a sentiment that extended to the nails, which were given a clear, ultra-glossy finish courtesy of MAC Overlacquer.
