Broad Universe Wikipedia Project – a signal boost

I think this will be relevant to the interests of several of the people who read my blog.

http://kalaity.com/2014/03/01/broad-universe-wikipedia-project/

Women artists made a concerted effort recently to get more of them written into history. More people turn to Wikipedia than to any other source. Women are still largely missing unless they are the few really big names in history…
Only 2% of the users edit Wikipedia. A huge percentage of them are male. And as time goes on fewer people are doing any editing, so diversity is bound to be an issue.

Signal Boost: Prompt Calls. Support your crowdfunded writers! (#promptcall)

Prompt Calls!

The Mephit is having a prompt call here. The theme is resolution.

[personal profile] kay_brooke is having a prompt call here. The theme is new beginnings.

K.A. Webb is having a prompt call here. The theme is mysteries, enigmas, and that which has been lost.

The writer who dwells in my attic, K Orion Fray is having a prompt call here. The theme is Magic, Elves, and Faeries.

Leaving a prompt takes just a minute, and it helps out these writers; leaving a tip costs not much more than a Starbucks latte, and those tips add up, guys.

Support your local crowdfunded writer with comments, prompts, and, if you can, tips!

A Phenomenal Description of Addergoole and a lovely post by @KOrionFray

(Okay, I’m biased, the post talks about me)

Then there is the apocalyptic world of Addergoole and the faerie, as written by Lyn Thorne-Alder. Here are a race called the Ellehemaei, fae of old kept on Earth after their gods departed and closed the gates to Ellehem. This is magic at its core, borne of three main lines: the Mara, protectors and strong; the Daeva, inspirers and muses, the incubi and succubi of legend; and the Grigori, sharp and beautiful, the pinnacle of perfection and teachers of their own ways. Faced with the prediction of seers that the end was nigh, a lone Grigori by the name of Regine Avonmorea gathered who she could and arranged that a school be made—one to both teach fae children how to survive in the oncoming storm…and to ensure that said children would come to bear more children, in hopes that the fae would survive. It was not a perfect system, and came with its flaws—which the now-professors would learn all too soon—but it was something, which was more than the void they feared.

From The Ones We Love & the Worlds They Live In, by K Orion Fray.

I’ve been waiting since last night for Ri to be able to post this so I could quote and link it!
