I found a show on Netflix titled "Mushi-shi" and I seem to remember it being discussed on here once in connection with butter bugs? If memory serves, it wasn't available on Netflix at the time, so if that was your blog I was reading I thought I'd let you know : ) if not, please tell me so I can try to figure out which author it was. Thanks!

I have certainly recommended the anime of Mushi-shi. I think I found it first on Netflix, but now own my own copy. (They did a live-action movie of it, too, but the anime is much better. The anime is quite closely based on the original manga.)
No influence on butter bugs, as A Civil Campaign was written in the late 90s, and I didn't find the anime till much later, after Netflix was invented.

This is a bit of a silly question, but I couldn't help wondering: The Vor Game mentions that Bel's cabin on the Ariel had, among other things, "a small cage housing an exotic pet from Earth Thorne called a hamster." Did you have any idea of how Bel acquired this hamster, or what happened to it, when writing that detail? Or was it just a throwaway line of description to round out the setting & character? :)

In one of Barbara Hambly’s fantasy series wizards/magic use had been outlawed/severely curtailed because the world was entering an Industrial Revolution and it's so easy for a wizard to wreck machinery for paid industrial sabotage or personal animus. Given how demons shed chaos (Otta/Atto in weaving room, sorcerers on boats), do you have any thoughts as to what may happen to sorcerers if/when the Wot5G has an IR?

I was reading ( for the second time in a row) Penric and the Shaman and wondered about this sentence when they are all dining at Gallin's place "he delivered the formula with a seminary-trained grace, which seemed to please their hosts"...
Is "seminary-trained grace" an oxymoron ?
