A Blatant Plug

[packbat]

Looking back through my journal archives, I realize that I never mentioned how good a writer chanlemur is. I first found his writing through Narbonic (he wrote (is writing?) "A Brief Moment of Culture"), but he has consistently impressed me in his other ventures, both comic and serious. Even those which are triggered by such a minor thing as a little meme that's been going around.

Yesterday, for that meme, he wrote The Thousand and First Paper Crane. It is a gorgeous story.

That's all I came to say.

Disclaimer: Chanlemur has this journal friended, and I have his journal friended. These facts had no bearing on the above – his work stands on its own merits.

You're too kind, Packbat, but thank you.

In answer to your brief and tangential question, "A Brief Moment of Culture" is in fact complete and has been for some time. In an immensely flattering move, shaenon decided to illuminate the text and release it, part by part, as an occasional Sunday feature. With only somewhere in the area of forty Sundays left to go (ed.: *sniff*), and plenty of other material jockeying for position, it is quite possible that the entire text of "...Culture" will not make its way to this serialization, in which case I will probably release the remaining text to the Narbonic forum and mailing list.

Short question, long answer.
