INTRODUCTIONS
As I'd rather this comm doesn't become full of intro posts, please feel free to introduce yourself in the comments here.
What kind of fantasy do you like to write? Do you write long or short things? What are you working on at the moment? etc
Off-topic comments are totally fine. =)
I'm your mod,foxfinial (aka Alex), a reader and writer of weird fantasy. My favourite authors are China Miéville, KJ Bishop, Catherynne M Valente, Milorad Pavic, Jeff VanderMeer, Steph Swainston, M John Harrison, Christopher Barzak and probably some others. I'm currently writing a novel about a war between humans and water-people in a secondary world heavily influenced by Thailand. It's being told in the form of a fake history book comprising various texts, such as translations (with footnotes, om nom), letters, chronicles, journal entries, messages on clothing. I've had some short fiction and poetry published, and am submitting a completed novel to agents.
I hope you like this comm!

You could always write a fake travel brochure. Stories told by texts are fun.It's probably better to ignore me. >.>

If I didn't also want to explain the workings of the Bureau, I'd be tempted to do just that. Well, I might do that as an aside anyway, given how the Bureau is like an INTERWORLDLY CROSSING POINT.But why? >: You have shiny ideas!
