Ramblings:

I decided to do the voices of the Three Sisters in this episode myself. I figured, it made the most since, as they are blue herons like Istrio (and, from a production point of view, it made their appearance considerably easier).

I’m thinking I will take December off again, like I did last year. It usually ends up being a crazy month, due to Christmas and other such things going on all the time (and it’ll help me add to my episode buffer). And, these breaks help new listeners catch up.

Next Time on The Magic of Eyri (10.20.10): “The Temple of Arcana” – The next part of Steve’s quest begins!

Ramblings:

Ah, Queen Lana the Iv. Know what that spells if you rearrange the letters? Leviathan. Without “Queen,” obviously. That was on purpose. I needed a name and I began doing what I tend to do when I need names: making anagrams and swapping letters around. I’ve been asked if the City Beneath the Sea was inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s work, such as the sunken city of R’lyeh. The answer is no, it wasn’t. I was more inspired by the likes of Atlantis and such. I was only casually aware of Lovecraft’s work while writing Magic of Eyri, but in recent years I’ve become a big fan. I’m even on panels about his work at conventions, and I recently wrote a guest blog about Cthulhu in Pop Culture for the Elder Signs Press Blog.

Next Time on The Magic of Eyri (10.06.10): “The Queen” – Steve, at last, meets the ruler of the City Beneath the Sea. Hilarity ensues.

Ramblings:

Sorry that this episode was kind of short, but I wanted to introduce the Queen in the next episode, and this was the best spot for a cut off.

I remembered when I originally wrote this part of the book, I knew I wanted the characters to go underwater, but I needed a way for them to breath while doing so. I came up with the lungfish that are introduced in this episode.

This is one of the reasons I like writing fantasy: I can create creatures to solve problems like how the heck my characters breath underwater.

And — Happy Birthday, Dad.

Ramblings:

This episode introduces Fivetoes the Dragon (he’s the blue dragon on the cover of the novel). I had fun coming up a vocal effect for Fivetoes in GarageBand, and I kind of wish my voice was that deep. Oh well.

Ramblings:

I’m really glad I changed how I recorded and edited episodes. Every since I decided to record the episodes all the way through, instead of recording in chunks by character, it has sped up the process. It has also sped up editing, which takes the most amount of time.

Ramblings:

Oh, Vanderawlt. Perhaps one of my favorite lesser villains I came up with. Who doesn’t like pirates? His “ridiculously large hat” was inspired by a similar hat that Orlando Bloom wears at the end of Pirates of the Caribbean.

Seriously, did you see that thing?

Ramblings:

We get to know Alexander the Small a bit better in this episode. He is, of course, named after Alexander the Great, and a friend of mine named Alex (who wasn’t small, but very skinny). His crew, Julius the albatross and Hector the Penguin are named after Julius Caesar and Hector of Troy. I was partially inspired by an article I read once about the Nine Worthies.

With the audio versions of Julius and Hector, decided to try and do a “Bones and Spock” approach to the voices. We’ll see how it goes.

The joke behind the Pixie People surrounding Uncle Shameless and saying “Hi!” over and over, is a poke at Navi ...

This is audio from another panel discussion at Penguicon 2010 I was a part of, called “Humor in Science Fiction and Fantasy.”

Joining me on the panel are Jim C. Hines, author of the Goblin Quest and Princess series and Brian Briggs, creator of the geek humor site BBspot.com.

I loved being on this panel. It was a hoot. We talked about writing humor in genres vs. traditional fiction, and even in non-fiction. Jim teases me for taking food home from the laundromat. And we learn that Batman makes anything funnier.

Jim was also a guest on an episode for the other podcast I’m a part of, LansingNext. I am the co-host, and bring my lovable geek humor to the show.

Oh and last week’s podcast made it to the front page of BoingBong last week. Awesome!
