Hi. I’m Aidan Moher, a Canadian science fiction and fantasy writer and Hugo Award winning editor. I live in Victoria, BC.<\/p>\n
A Dribble of Ink began opened its doors in May 2007, a couple of days after I graduated from my university program with a license to build websites. I didn’t have a job yet, though through a series of related and fortuitous events, I had in my hands ARCs (Advance Review Copies, essentially) of Acacia: The War with the Mein<\/em> by David Anthony Durham, which was catching some buzz around the web, even before the blogosphere was the force that it is today, and The Elves of Cintra<\/em> by Terry Brooks, a genre heavyweight, so, I did what any overeager college student would do: I started a blog.<\/p>\n Since that time, I have been overjoyed by the wonderful (though sometimes aggressive and snarky) community that has sprung up around A Dribble of Ink and similar blogs. That community keeps me inspired and is a terrific source of discussion and conversations about the speculative fiction genres and geekdom in general. I am proud to have published articles by many different fan writers, from other bloggers, to award-winning authors \u2014 including: Daniel Abraham, N.K. Jemisin, Kate Elliott, Christopher J. Garcia, Brent Weeks and many others.<\/p>\n When asked in an interview about A Dribble of Ink’s name, I responded,<\/p>\n I love the name of my blog, not least for the ‘A’ at the beginning generally placing me at the top of blogrolls, which has always been a boon for directing traffic in my direction, and I wish there was a story behind the name, something interesting, thematic or representative of who I am, or what my blog aspires to be, but there is no story. I was creating the blog, WordPress asked me for a name and I typed something in. That’s it. Sorry.<\/p>\n Well, no. Looking back, I suppose it might have been inspired by the opening line of Robin Hobb’s Assassin’s Apprentice, which has stuck with me since I first read it. It reads, “My pen falters, then falls from my knuckly grip, leaving a worm’s trail of ink across Fedwren’s paper.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n A Dribble of Ink is proudly powered by WordPress and the template was designed and hand-coded by me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi.
