> # KEY UPDATES FROM THE QUEER FANTASY PANEL WITH TAMSYN MUIR AT THE BRITISH LIBRARY

> - We will find out in Alecto the Ninth whether Kiriona’s chest has teeth or ribs.
> - She cites Final Fantasy and Animorphs as intros to SFF. On Animorphs: “Nobody’s safe in that book. Everyone’s dead by the end. It was an influence.”
> - The 1.5 page outline of the Locked Tomb was written in the back of a notebook which Tamsyn was using to teach herself Latin. She has (except for the detail of Gideon being a fireman) followed this guide throughout.
> - She is still writing Alecto the Ninth. She feels tremendous pressure, primarily from herself, to produce a satisfactory ending.
> - On Tasha Suri saying she still doesn’t know what Homestuck is after watching a 2 hour video about it: “Neither do I.”
> - She says she is working through creating the balance between a Catholic worldview and the critique of imperialism. She hopes that the balance will be struck correctly. “I’m kinda worried about being excommunicated. For one scene in particular.”

> Hope to post a full transcript tonight or tomorrow.
