Fantasy Fans

Two things. First is a series of posts of [livejournal.com profile] memlu's that review Christopher Paolini's Eragon. In Post 1 she gives her own review, and in Post 2, she links to a number of articles on the web on the subject. The last one in particular is worth reading if you are even considering writing fantasy, as it spotlights the most common problem of the genre.

Second, [livejournal.com profile] limyaael just finished The Hounds of Spring, first of a series of stories she is writing to thank people who donated to Katrina relief organizations. The story contains a damn interesting world that isn't just Fantasyland, and focuses on religion in a way that neither glorifies or vilifies it. Parts one through four can be found on her journal.
