I've got some deeper cuts lined up, a friend is translating a Japanese piece, I've got the Lafcadio Hearn bit to finish, and for reason I've got it in my head to maybe add a Voynich Mansucript post because wtfn. Dunno. Playing everything by ear. Nothing matters. Thanks for reading.

Hurrah! Finally finished the first draft of book Chapter 5 'The Paranoid Style in American Gaming', covering Paranoia, The Price of Freedom, Year of the Phoenix, Freedom Fighters, and Delta Force. Now if only I can get another chapter done before the start of the teaching semester!

The last ms dated to the Early Hellenistic Period in DJD is 6Q2 (6QPaleoLeviticus), a single fragment with text from Lv. 8:12–13. It is also written in the paleo-Hebrew script. There is a nice big lower margin visible, but other than that we know very little about this mansucript.

Important tip about working with critique partners: after you send a mansucript out to your beta reader or critique partner, do NOT succumb to the temptation of looking it over again while you wait for feedback. You WILL see millions of little mistakes that you didn't catch before you sent it!

perhaps chapter 3 in JD Sargan's Trans Histories of the Medieval Book!: www.arc-humanities.org/978180270163... mainly focused on mansucript stemmatics, but i think more widely useful also!

The final stretch is in sight.
I almost have the finished mansucript for my #WIP 'A Pattern of Death' complete.
It has been a crazy 6 months writing this novel and I can only hope it will have been worth it.
Thank you everyone for your support so far!

I've been learning the Runes & Roots oracle deck,so I pull a card every night for the next day. This is Hagalaz/deadly nightshade. It augurs chaos, disruption, destruction, literal and figurative storms. Um, nailed it. #witchsky

Fancy a new removable shoe insert that enables you to literally ‘drive through the air’. Well, these #earlymodern inscribed inlays of magical seven-league boots may help:

An excellent companion to Trammell's book is Stephen J. Scott-Bottoms' book on the troubling legacy of experimental roleplaying experiments, with particular attention paid to the the Stanford prison study. I was privileged to be an anonymous reader of the mansucript.

The Laidly Toad, erstwhile witch, still hops and hisses its way around Bamburgh to this day. Yes it does. Visit the area and you'll see it too, perhaps on the street known as The Wynd #WyrdWednesday

Does anyone know a good (and ideally cheap) app that can do text to speech for listening back to a mansucript?

The built in one on Word keeps going robotic if there's a break.

Thanks in advance.

Wonderful exhibition of St Gallen manuscripts at National Museum initiated by former professor of mine in Early Irish History (Celtic Studies). Beautifully arranged, Irish language goes first, English second (maith sibh!), inked calligraphy from oak gall as black as it was in 7th century!

Don't ask me how many times I've sat down to say something about mansucript bokos.

I think i'd be a bit annoyed with one sentence after a full request (which I did get years ago, the last time I queried a very different novel before I knew anything about publishing and had a mansucript that was tbh in no way ready to be sent out), but a quick form for a query i think is fine

One of the highlights while looking through some of FLoRA's >2.6K reproductions and replications:

"The code runs beautifully. ... we want to acknowledge the high quality of the authors' replication package."
