Looking forward to reading this through. One quick note:
At a convention in 1978, Wendy ran into the novelist Marion Zimmer Bradley, then a feminist icon, only to be met with cold and critical dismissal.
Some background on why Zimmer Bradley is no longer considered a feminist icon (or really a decent human being).

Is that why the rest of the blog page now has type so small I need my even stronger reading glasses to be able to read it? Or is it unconnected and just another BB style update/tweak?
Probably just CSS from the special feature treatment leaking into the blog view. I put in a cut that should fix it

I loved that piece Rob, but I didn’t know where to find this comment thread until you linked it in another BBS discussion. I really enjoy reading your longer pieces when you post them, like this one and the one about your mother.
I was completely unaware of all of the stuff Wendy Pini had been going through. I saw a photo of her that Mark Evanier had posted from Comic-Con just recently and that was the first that I’d thought of her, Richard and ElfQuest in over a year.
Thanks for giving us a chance to read your latest piece.
