1. I wanted this to be blogged, not articled, but I didn't see the blog tag.
2. I'm not sure I described the giant room that well.

And exactly what are you requesting?

I'd like someone, probably MJ, to move it over to the blogs. This would be especially good so that I don't cover up the latest Adapting article.

Do you get a reasonable mental picture of the giant room I'm describing in Chapter Seven of You Elsewhen? Any suggestions to make it clearer, or questions as to what I'm trying to say?

I've not read it.

Done.

Notes.

First, that means the URL has changed. I don't know if you copy the links, and I'm not completely sure that the server software isn't smart enough to find an article with the wrong directory tag, but the second-to-last parameter has changed from /articles/ to /blogs/ so if you're copying or bookmarking them, you should update your own files.

Second, "blog" is not a tag, and that's why you couldn't find it in the tags. There's a section marked "categories", with checkboxes for "articles", "blogs", and "reviews". It use to be below the tags, but recently it got moved to above them. I had to look twice for it myself.

Third, it's still interesting and disorienting, but when you wrote, "One turns and smirks at you, pointing her legs at her legs" what exactly was she pointing where? Most of what you've written has been expectations-disorienting, but this is really wonderland-disorienting, a statement you can write that does not appear to have actual meaning despite being grammatically correct. Is it a typo, or am I just not getting it, or was it supposed to be unintelligible?

Typo time.

"One turns and smirks at you, pointing at her legs and then derisively at your legs."

I don't copy the links.

I've found 'blog' before, but not this time.

Thanks.
