Oh! Yes. I adored the Fionavar tapestry for years - read it first in my teens, what can I say, wrote songs about it, yada yada... just a few years ago I came across a copy of Red Moon Black Mountain, and remebered the name Joy Chant from early childhod, and a book read once from the library and never refound.

Let's just say there are uncomfortably many paralells between the two. I read Joy Chant's RMBM with a bizarre sense of 'I read this already... in Fionavar' and I've not quite been able to revisit the whole GGK set again since, which is a shame, and maybe I should.

As a writer, I try to watch the origins and predecessors of my work, and if they are too obvious, I don't release them into the wild. Hmm.
