There are a few, I think, but none of them are remotely active. I consider trying to start one up every now and then but I don't really know how to go about it.
I just take Ancelstierre as England circa 1930. :/ I don't know how intentional that was, either, but that's how I've always treated it. The perimeter guard are awesome, I love it when they turn up. \0/
Uh, yeah, I don't get it either. Normally in post-Abhorsen fic Nick's like, "Gee, old chum, I guess magic really does exist by golly." I dunno, I thought the major contrast was between Nick who is much more a traditional hero figure and a natural leader, versus Sam and Lirael who are outcasts and unsure of themselves. The fact that Nick was subverted early on is significant, but it doesn't make him an idiot.
