Writers are bad people.

It should be enough for me that two fairly short paragraphs should serve as 1) plot point; 2) foreshadowing for future plot point; 3) character development; and 4) setting exposition.

I should not be additionally pleased that they will serve to torment ksumnersmith.

And yet I am additionally pleased.

Writers are bad people.

What, you can't be happy to have frosting too?

For awhile when we were in junior high, scottjames and I would refer to this sort of thing as "sprinkles": it wasn't even important enough to be the frosting on the cake. It was the sprinkles on the frosting on the cake.

I didn't say I was unhappy to be a mean, bad person.

Sprinkles are good, happy things.

Yes, you are a mean, mean person. Mean!! I hope you're happy with yourself. Even your icon seems to be amused at your meanness.

All this and still no crisp for me. Hmpf.

Mean mean mean mean. Hee. Mean.

And right now extremely smug, because a key bit of twisty plot evil just fell into place for this thing, this Aesir noir thing, and it doesn't have much to do with DBM (unlike the mean bit, which does), but I think it might make some people make faces like I made at cristalia for how she ended her first Toronto book.

I think the tagline for this book may be "it's not the god you think it is."

Mean and mean and even more mean! I don't know how Leah ended her book, but rest assured I'm making faces at you now.

(I do so like twisty evil plots, though, there's always that ...)

What I love is answering a question about Norse mythology that I should have thought to ask something like 20 years ago but didn't think to ask until this afternoon, when the answer made itself clear and interesting.

Whee.
