Dear Fantasy Authors

[commodorified]

Who are not graydon:

Have you considered including pangolins in your next book?

If not, why not?

Capybaras are also acceptable.

If these recommendations prove impossible to implement, please consider the advantages of the platypus as an animal which already looks as if it was built by a committee of amateur sorcerers. Surely your fiction can embrace this possibility handily.

excellent suggestion! I admit, way back in the dark ages I read a story containing a wombat, but a pangolin or capybara could enliven your boring standard fantasy-type story even more wonderfully!

Was it Ursula Vernon's comic?

[dine]

no, though maybe I should check that out. the book was Witch and Wombat by Carolyn Cushman, published in 1994. it was definitely tongue-in-cheek and I recall it being humourous and enjoyable.
