![]() ![]() I don't read it myself, but lots of "META" in my working life, as happens in areas that study concepts in which hierarchies pile on top of hierarchies. ![]() You asked whether others like META fiction. Missteps: I tried lONg AGO before EONS AGO, and CLOUD ServicE before CLOUD STORAGE. My daughter Lydia will probably be one of the queens, maybe the Snow Queen (the other "queens" being the Sugar Plum Fairy and the Dew Drop). I'm trying to decide whether/when to grow out my beard, which makes me look a lot older. This will be my last year on stage, in the GUISE of Drosselmeyer. That DRAGON reminds me that the dance studio where my daughter studies will probably be lifting its COVID-19 related restrictions and will be putting on its annual Nutcracker (connection: there's a DRAGON dance for Clara during the second half). It sounds like a portmanteau where one of the components is "fans", but please feel free to fill me in. This may be one of 15 similar responses, but DMING means "direct messaging". I posted a time which is markedly better than my Monday usual. This one is technically a lion dance I think, but still very cool! I might go into DC and try to see one next Chinese New Year. DRAGON (8D: Figure seen in Chinese New Year) - I've never seen a dragon dance in person, so I decided to look it up.There's just something about it that I really like, I can't explain it. META (41D: Self-referential) - I love love love metafiction!!! My favorite is Nightwood by Djuna Barnes, and my most recent read is Little Blue Encyclopedia (For Vivian) by Hazel Jane Plante.I learned today that the author's name is actually Nathan Hale (I'd assumed it was a pen name), and he's "channeling his namesake" when he writes. HALE (53D: Patriot Nathan) - I got this one immediately, and not because I know absolutely anything about history, but because I'm a bookseller and we've sold about a gazillion copies of the "Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales" series, which is a children's book series about American history. ![]()
