Introduction & rules

Imported from LJ 01/06/2017 - so everything at the moment is very out of date, but perhaps over here it can finally see some life as a comm? Who knows?



This is an LJ community dedicated to the writer Joan Aiken, most famous for her sequence of children's novels, The Wolves Chronicles, starting with The Wolves of Willoughby Chase. I was looking for somewhere to post some Midnight is a Place-related goodies I had, and found nowhere. That seemed very wrong, so a comm was born.

Anything connected to the author, her works, her illustrators, TV/Film adaptations of her books etc. is welcome on the comm, as are icons, fanfic, reviews, discussion and so on. She was also the daughter of the US poet Conrad Aiken, while her sister is the novelist Jane Aiken Hodge.

If in doubt, generally, a tangential post is better than no post, but you can also contact the mods, or drop a comment to this post if you have a question or suggestion.

Rules: mainly, be nice. No spamming, no trolling, no flaming etc. No plotting to heartlessly throw orphans out into the snow.

There's also a Resources Post here.

I'm glad I found this. I read as many of Joan Aiken's books as I could find when I was a pre-teen/teenager. I've re-read some of them as an adult. I think it is time to read them again.
