<br />
Yes, I do have an odd relationship with language. Why do you ask?</p>felicityhttp://faerye.net/post/dear-mrs-fiction#comment-1892Narty2005-12-15T08:42:28+00:002005-12-15T08:42:28+00:00<p>That means “skies” in Polish. What does it mean in English? :o)</p>GreyStorkhttp://faerye.net/post/dear-mrs-fiction#comment-1891Re: Hmm...2005-12-15T07:29:41+00:002005-12-15T07:29:41+00:00<p>
Thanks for the update – and I must say, that was a very cool movie. And something I had never imagined, either. I’m quite surprised no one thought this was worthy of an entry in <a href="http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/journal.asp?ref=0173-9565">Journal of Marine Ecology</a>.

Ever thought of extending your literary skills into the field of scientific publication? ;o)

<br />
An’ yes, EMeta, I promise I’ll post soonishly about why I’m so narty and what I’m up to. To what I am up. To which what I am up and down. Hrm.</p>felicityhttp://faerye.net/post/dear-mrs-fiction#comment-1889Re: Hmm...2005-12-14T20:30:12+00:002005-12-14T20:30:12+00:00<p>Just because she’s fictitious doesn’t mean that she doesn’t exist… Like Gaiman writes in Dream Country (Sandman 3), Puck exclaims, “This is magnificent—and it is true! It never happened; yet it is still true. What magic art is this?” <br />
<br />
Is it a bit conceited? Maybe. But I think Elinor has earned some existential rights, if for nothing else than her qualified scholarship.<br />
<br />
Perhaps Felicity just forgot to cross a T or |wo, but I’m willing to give her the benefit of the doubt…<br />
<br />
...<b>As long as she writes more on here soon!</b> Or at least tells us why she’s not…</p>EMetahttp://faerye.net/post/dear-mrs-fiction#comment-1888Re: Hmm...2005-12-14T16:16:01+00:002005-12-14T16:16:01+00:00<p>I am quite certain that Miss Roberts is as fictitious as our dear Mrs. Fiction. What I’m wondering about is merely whether there should really be a link under the text “the dolphins have a new ally,” pointing to somewhere specific in cyberspace…</p>GreyStorkhttp://faerye.net/post/dear-mrs-fiction#comment-1887Re: Hmm...2005-12-14T15:52:07+00:002005-12-14T15:52:07+00:00<p>The webmaster is simply posting a copy of the actual letter (email, I imagine) sent by Miss Roberts, probably bcc’d to her.</p>EMetahttp://faerye.net/post/dear-mrs-fiction#comment-1886No subject2005-12-14T06:09:55+00:002005-12-14T06:09:55+00:00<p>I don’t know how I missed the original, but this is great.</p>winter_in_asiahttp://faerye.net/post/dear-mrs-fiction#comment-1885Hmm...2005-12-13T23:36:02+00:002005-12-13T23:36:02+00:00<p>I’m afraid I don’t quite get this Escheresque prank.
