Travellers, they are in...

One of the thing I'm considering tackling is the issue of Travellers in Ireland and Britain. The Amazons live in settled communities generally founded on the outskirts of major cities. Blending in as another multicultural suburbia, the one thing I'm wondering is how a Traveller cross-over would come in. This will probably require more research than I have done so far.

Why Travellers? Well the truth is, I'm Irish and I find the Tinkers to be an interesting feature of the Isles. They are gypsies in a way (they are no Roma, so not sure the term can really apply) who are nomadic and yet are not so. I'm already covering such things as the Nationalist movements so may as well toss in Travellers even if it's one character. With how secretive they can be I'm considering perhaps a Roma man who gets cut off from his family for being contaminated by the outside (somethign I know of) or perhaps his mother is Amazon. Or perhaps it is a her.

Be really interesting to see a female dominate society reacting to one that is stereotypically dominated by men. Especially how it could happen. Something to consider perhaps as a side story.

Long Hiatus almost over

The past several months have been a real crucible. I'm graduating soon so most work on Arrow Child and Amazo has been set back for a while. I've started work on slowly expanding the Amazonian vocabulary to a target of 300+ words by the end of the summer!

Some new things that will be upcoming in future Arrow Child installations. Poems in Amazo,and also other bits. Plus, I'm looking at possibly getting some character art work done in the future.

Sorry for the short blogling, but I have little time for now :(
