ellenkushnerToday's Question:
Have you ever read any books in the Terri Windling shared-world "Bordertown" series?
If you're a writer, do you think they influenced your work in any way?
If you're curious, here's Terri's Borderland page, the Wiki page with a list of all stories & authors, and the latest Borderland fan page, with links to lots, including an LJ community, "Bordertown's Journal."
It amazes me to realize that I had a story in every single one of the 4 volumes (while "Charis" has been reprinted most often, I think my favorite is "Hot Water," with "Mockery" a close second.) Will Shetterly & Emma Bull wrote entire Borderland novels. And there are even some who say that the current spate of Urban Fantasy (Division of Elves on the Streets) owes a lot to kids who read them at an impressionable age when they first came out. What say you?
