Friends with Fantasy: Logical or Illogical World Building?
Briana and Krysta at Pages Unbound are hosting a fantasy discussion meme this year called Fantasy with Friends. Since fantasy is my favorite genre, I thought it would be fun to take part. This week, their question is: What do you think makes compelling world building in fantasy? Does the world building have to be detailed and logical to draw readers in, or can readers can captivated by world building even if, upon refletction, it doesn’t always make sense?

Somehow I'm only reading the full text of On Fairy Stories for the first time. If there's any other essays by great figures of fantasy people think are fantastic reading, throw them at me. I feel that Le Guin in particularly has a bunch of great ones but I don't know which ones are which.

I was unfamiliar with GWL's history on this land - this piece provides some rather interesting and relevant context for the Granite parking debacle.
This just in (from me):
Down with parking!

Down with parking!
Up with curling!
(With parking for curlers)

Opinion: More and more parking spaces amid empty promises
The history of Great West Life/Canada Life in West Broadway is one of ceaseless unneighbourliness and willful ignorance to the needs of the community in which they conduct their business.
