>> Yeah. I like that about you, and several of the people you point to. <<

I love having an audience who appreciates that. I love being able to point people to other works, and have those authors point back to me, so that we can build a pool of readers and donors who are into this stuff.

>> Dale and Kelly, Morgan, Igor and Victor, and.... I haven't read enough to remember her name, but the detective with wheeled mobility... <<

Brenda Cochlain is the wheelchair rider in P.I.E.

>> all sorts of characters who very much aren't me but who are very interesting... Oh, and Damask, too. It's really cool seeing the inside of a multiple's head... <<

That's good to hear. I really got a kick out of "One Step Ahead" by baaing_tree for multiple-perspective.

>> My partner is working her way through Joanne Greenberg's works... I don't know if you know them, but a general theme is minds (including her own) who are... not neurotypical. <<

Interesting. One of my favorite neurovariant books is This Alien Shore in which one main character is multiple, another is something like autistic/OCD, and many of the supporting characters have other variations.

>> But then again, *her work* is not typical, either... I really think the creative jam environment is the best place to encourage folks to think outside the big house's silly rules. <<

Agreed. I love prompt calls -- mine, other people's, whatever wherever. The crowdfunding creative jam is also a great place to gather creative folks and audiences for inspiration. Some months it's more active than others, as with the Torn World Muse Fusion, but there's usually something going on.
