flamingswordI have questions on how to make a white character participate in an African culture non-appropriatively and the podcast Our Opinions Are Correct has given me some ideas about how to do that. Humorous and thinky. Highly recommend.
Have you ever needed to make a smart person sound bleeding-edge-of-science smart but you are not a technical or hard science person? Read a few of the abstracts from the Science Research Network - it's where the science fandom go to have meta discussions and flame wars, so get your science character some sciencey opinions to hold and look smart about, while spreading the science around so nerds can squee about it to you in comments.
Who was it that linked me to A Bright And Bitter Flame, the fic about Loki getting reincarnated as a female human magician? It is a fucking delight! Everyone who wants to giggle and guffaw and ugly laugh their way through a fic needs to put this on their reading list.
And some writing advice that I will be taking to heart as soon as I am ready to go back to writing and not being the sole owner of a business that I dont have the energy to keep up with. :(
