The Russet Doom Saga Supplementary Link Collection
I'm trying to keep tabs on the blog carnival that's risen up around The Russet Doom Saga.
What's here:
- Blogs who have mentioned Russet Noon/Lady Sybilla
- Forum posts and discussions regarding Russet Noon/Lady Sybilla
- Anything Lady Sybilla has posted herself to publicize Russet Noon
These links are organized by the date of their appearance.
Comments here are screened. Please keep discussion in the main post. Comment here only if I need to remove a link (for example, if you don't want me linking to your blog, or if I've linked to someone underage and need to remove it to comply with JournalFen rules).
Here goes:
