Edward M Lerner's series on sf "tropes"

Edward M Lerner recently began this series called "Trope-ing the light fantastic". Begins with the notion of a "trope" in mainstream literature, moves on to meaning used in sf, then looks in detail at tropes in sf. Two posts are already up - series introduction & FTL.

The series is picked up by my "featured posts" bot - so both subscribers of its feed & of Bot SF master feed will be receiving it automatically. Of course, it also gets linked in one of the external links sections in the left bar, & for longer durations from Bot SF magazine page.
