Greetings All!
This is a good news/bad news sort of post. The good news is that the Folklore & Fiction website has been moved to a new virtual private server! The bad news is that the Folklore & Fiction archive and newsletter infrastructure are taking longer to upgrade than anticipated.
Hello, lovely people, and welcome to the September 2024 edition of the Folkbyte newsletter. This month, the Seven of Pentacles is the newsletter mascot for our wee crow's focus on filling his nest with shiny things. The counsel this card offers is to focus on long-term projects that have the greatest potential for success, and I'm working hard to wrap a few short-term projects so I can do just that. Here's all the news on offer this month.
"Through careful conservation of energy, the engines of creation move forward."
Greetings, All!
Welcome to the July 2024 Folkbyte newsletter. I have news on The Storyteller's Guide to Folklore (plus an excerpt!), The Songwriter's Guide to Folklore, and The Folklore & Fiction Ballads EP. Onward!
Greetings,
I have been made aware of allegations regarding the plagiarism of my work; specifically, that my concerns are unfounded and that I have engaged in bullying and harassment of the guilty party. I am writing to reassure you that this is untrue. I have three years of receipts that clearly demonstrate idea mining of my work in the Folklore & Fiction project, and these have been reviewed by academic and legal professionals who agree with my assessment of the materials. I have also been offered the opportunity to pursue the matter in a public inquiry, but after consultation with those who made this offer, I decided to keep the peace. At the time, I was a graduate student with a heavy workload, and I preferred to keep the delicate detente where it stood. Both parties had exchanged letters through their respective attorneys, and I had demonstrated a willingness to defend my work, so I saw no reason to pursue the matter as long as the guilty party left that work alone going forward.
Greetings, All!
This month's Folkbyte newsletter will be brief, as I only have two announcements. First, I wanted to let you know that yesterday, I successfully defended my dissertation and became a Doctor of Folklore. (Not quite a Time Lord, but I did my best.)
Greetings and welcome to the April 2024 Folkbyte newsletter. I have news on the dissertation and The Storyteller's Guide to Folklore fronts, an excerpt from my preliminary research for The Songwriter's Guide to Folklore, and a monthly Folkbyte newsletter video to share. Onward!
Greetings and welcome to the Folkbyte newsletter for March 2024. I have news on the writing front, an excerpt from my preliminary research for The Songwriter's Guide to Folklore, and the next monthly Folkbyte newsletter video to share. Onward!
