Re: Fairyspace Expansion

I really like the work you have done here, however I do have one issue I
would change: having both liveworlds and earthworlds. I would say count the
suns for fireworlds and then have the "non-elemental" world be heavily
influenced  by the plane of shadow or the ethereal. Have to run to work and
still catching up on a lot of SJ/PS mail so I'll have to flesh this out a
bit later. Nicely done!
