On December 26 I posted the very last instalment<\/a> of A Geography of Haarth<\/a> — at least, that is, until WALL #4 (WT: The Chaos Gate<\/em>) comes out. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Since Thursdays are my Haarth and WALL series day on the blog, I’ve been thinking what to alternate with About the Characters<\/a>, which is still running. (Huzza!)<\/p>\n

I wanted to continue the theme of worldbuilding, because I think it’s one of the most unique elements of fantasy in all its forms. But maybe even more so with “otherworld” fantasy, where every aspect of a world is up for grabs.<\/p>\n

I had a few different ideas, but the one I’m going with for now builds on (or riffs off \ud83d\ude09 ) the notion of the “epic grand tour.” With A Geography of Haarth we charted “all the places” — at least that the WALL series characters have either visited or heard of! In this new series, I’ll be looking at their recommendations for where a traveler making the grand tour can rest their head — perhaps with a few reviews, stipulations and warnings, Lonely Planet and TripAdvisor style.<\/p>\n

We (the authorial “we”, that is!) shall see — so check back in for the first instalment on Thursday 6 February, to find out what’s afoot. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
