This last weekend I was attending a writing workshop on Juvenile/YA Fantasy.

At the end of Saturday we had a really great group discussion about writing ethics and cultural appropriation (and other privileged appropriation of non-privileged voices and issues).

Fully intend to discuss further my (lack of conclusive) conclusions. In the meantime, apropos of this issue, here is a haiku (plz note irony) about it.

Appropriation
of other cultures: a big
part of my culture.
