Last call for Onyx Court letters
Feb. 27th, 2012 01:56 pmFebruary is nearly over, and with it, the Month of Letters! You have a few days yet in which to write a letter to the Onyx Court; I promise to answer anything mailed to me before the end of the week (to give a few days' grace period).
And then we'll have the fun of seeing how long it takes the inkstains to fade from my fingers. :-) (No really, that trope of bookish types in fantasy having stained fingers? It's totally true. I just wonder if there's some trick I'm missing for not leaving little inky fingerprints on other parts of the page, because nobody every mentions that bit.)

Feel free to do what you like with the result!

It was such a cool moment... cause I was like "wait, Mary Brennen? Like Onyx court stuff??" I'm not gonna lie... I may have bragged a bit about turning 21 in your living room while gaming :P
