the Inklings in fiction
At Mythcon two years ago, the Guest of Honor was James A. Owen (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
coppervale), known for his Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica, a series of fantasy adventure novels featuring the Inklings as characters.
He is far from the only author to have used the Inklings, or their simulacra, as fictional characters, and I'd been following that small region of fiction for some time, so I used this as an excuse to write a paper on the whole subject, which I gave at Mythcon.
I did not supply a reading list handout with the paper, so I wrote one up later and published it in Mythprint. Now, inspired by reading the latest entry in the Inklings-in-fiction field, Looking for the King by David Downing, I've updated and expanded the reading list, and put it online here.
At some point I hope to publish the paper, which will tell you all about many of the intriguing stories listed therein.
