You feel that everything is going against you and you are worn out and exhausted by all the conflict and quarrelling. You are trying to protect yourself but at the same time you are hiding your feelings, hoping that by so doing, you can avoid exposing yourself to attack. Hopefully this will give you the chance to get on with your life. Nevertheless, you should be very careful to try to avoid stirring up any opposition which might endanger your plans.

You are very talented, imaginative and sensitive but you are holding back as you do not really like going it 'on your own'. In preference you would like to team up with someone, someone with similar attributes as your own, to explore - to seek out and go perhaps 'where no other man has trod before'. It is the unusual that attracts you and which will give you a sense of excitement and adventure.

You feel unhappy because you feel that you are not able to obtain the co-operation of those around you. All you would like at this time would be to achieve harmony within your circle.

Presently, you are experiencing stress because of restriction on your independence. You need and seek respect from other people and it is essential that they appreciate you for yourself and not for what they would like you to be. You have your own beliefs and convictions and you would like to be respected for them. You are anxious to avail yourself of every opportunity that may come your way but nevertheless, come what may, you have the need to control your own destiny without imposed limitations or restrictions.

You are fed up with other people trying to influence you and you also feel that it is necessary to protect yourself from the threat that your independence and freedom may be restricted. You would just like to be left alone.

it almost looks like it is white.  
I almost want to lock this to avoid wank, but that's wrong. So. Know before commenting that I'm probably not going to be up for much discussion.

I have to say Elizabeth is taking this very well and in a heartfelt manner, because she does worry about this sort of thing. I actually do feel that this is an overreaction and in some ways a missed point, but perhaps that's because I don't see Uisgebaugh as black, I see him as Uisgebaugh. If I were to see him as anything, I would see him as wild fae, or perhaps kelpie, with all that that entails. Not as black, because he isn't. (Well, he might be if he existed only in the human world, but how he's treated by humans and how he's treated by fae? Totally different kettles of fish. The entire court's technically enslaved, if you didn't notice.)

I can't say that I think in the way she accuses Miss Bear of thinking in the final paragraph, either. Or the PS. And, uh. I'm not going to go to who do you think you are, but... I believe Elizabeth Bear does try. And if she failed for you this time, well, she's going to try harder next time. But as linked in the edit, honestly, damned if you do, damned if you don't, and the only way out of it is to stop worrying about it and write.

Except of course, that's wrong, too.

All I can really say is that I think the writer of the open letter missed the point that I would see in the exact same novel, and that I think Elizabeth Bear is very sensitive about this sort of thing, so I wish the letter had not been quite so utterly dismissive.

Also.  
For my own reference, I suppose.

This afternoon a werewolf with an aversion to marrying turned up in my head. The exact quote, regarding wedding rings, was a snarl along the lines of why not just buy me a collar, then?

I'm not yet sure if the wolf is male or female, but I suppose more is to come.

Hello? Can I offer you some chicken?
