Reasoning with Rulers

Posted on September 20, 2022 by Nathan

According to the introduction to the 2002 Oziana, both health and technical issues prevented Robin Olderman from continuing as editor of the magazine, so Joel Harris in Special Publications temporarily took over the job. The issue wasn’t released until 2002, … Continue reading →

Coping with Immortality

Posted on April 6, 2022 by Nathan

We’re up to the 1978 Oziana, with a cover by Bill Eubank that appears to be partially based on a John R. Neill illustration from Kabumpo in Oz. Then there’s an Oz-E-Gag by Eubank, comparing The Wizard of Oz to … Continue reading →

Falling for the Fairy Fellowship

Posted on October 21, 2020 by Nathan

I’ve mentioned the fairyland on the other side of the world from Oz a few times, but since I’m planning on writing some fiction that takes place there, I might as well detail what we know about it. It first … Continue reading →

Rings and Things

Meatless Mortality

Posted on January 31, 2018 by Nathan

We know that flesh-and-blood people and animals are pretty much functionally immortal in Oz. They can be potentially be destroyed, but won’t die of old age or disease, and even being torn into pieces isn’t necessarily fatal. What I sometimes … Continue reading →

Sizing Up and Down

Posted on January 26, 2017 by Nathan

Characters changing in size is a pretty frequent occurrence in the Oz books. It’s sort of a transformation, but not entirely, as someone exposed to such magic keeps the same shape. At least, that seems to be the case for … Continue reading →

Mangaboos and More

Posted on September 21, 2016 by Nathan

A Child’s Garden of Curses

Posted on August 3, 2016 by Nathan
