Manifestoes

The topic of conlanging manifestoes came up recently on the conlang list. I enjoyed reading the Conlang Manifesto, Artlanger’s Rant, and an Apologia pro Imaginatione. Although the manifestoes primarily defend language construction, they apply equally well to conculturing (constructing cultures) and to fiction writing in general.
