It'll be coming, probably in association with the pronunciation guide (I've held it off the snapshot album pages until it shows up on dragaera.info). > Thank you for sharing your pictures.

Anybody interested in writing an article about them, we'd be interested in posting it at dragaera.info (in theory; normal editorial practices apply, i.e. if we don't like it at all then forget it). I've thought about more specialized recipe, song, and image sections, but figure there's no point in planning and implementing something theoretical. So I'm waiting until we have enough of them accumulated various places to show me how I need to handle them in general. -- David Dyer-Bennet, <mailto:dd-b at dd-b.net>, <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/> RKBA: <http://noguns-nomoney.com/> <http://www.dd-b.net/carry/> Pics: <http://dd-b.lighthunters.net/> <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/> Dragaera/Steven Brust: <http://dragaera.info/>
