Friday Fiction: The Spiders in The Walls
A warning, dear reader. This story contains spiders—and if you have arachnophobia, at all, you may not want to read this one.
The Far Reaches Reviews: “The Long Game” by Ann Leckie
“The Long Game” is actually a story about very short periods of time and the exploitation of a species. Its title refers to one idea in the story, among a few different, some related, some not, concepts—and the greatest strength of this one, like “How It Unfolds,” is how interesting those ideas are.
The Magnus Protocol Reviews: “Solo Work”
“Solo Work” is a fantastic episode. The horror is weird and cosmic. The character work is great, and we get a lot of it—and there’s a cameo that made the ending all the better.
Friday Fiction: Spaceship Maintenance Professional
Imagine, if you will, a series of spaceships housing all of humanity.
Now imagine the level of work it would take to keep such locations livable and pleasant.
Winning With Lands In Bof1 Standard
Do you like synergy? Do you like a deck where each and every card works well with every other card? Well, this is the deck. Literally months in the making, I have been tinkering with this land-based, Standard Bof1 deck that gets to play cards you’ve probably never thought could be this effective.
The Magnus Protocol Reviews: “Saved Copy”
“Saved Copy” is a setup episode. It’s clearly about one plot point, and plants ideas for that plot point—and that’s the whole point of it. There are barely any asides that don’t deal with the concept.
Friday Fiction: Talking to A Ghost – Part 5
We return to our supernatural tale, dear reader.
Now that our main character has finished talking to a ghost about the ghost’s troubles, there’s more to do.
The Far Reaches Reviews: “Falling Bodies” by Rebecca Roanhorse
“Falling Bodies” is an outlier, so far, in this collection. The concept of time does play a part in the story, but no more than any story that deals with someone’s past. There are plenty of sci-fi elements, but it takes place on a normal time scale.
The Magnus Protocol Reviews: “Anti-Social”
To review “Anti-Social,” I need to make some assumptions. I need to assume our main character, Madam Electrum, is an accurate representation of a type of internet personality/celebrity.
Friday Fiction: The Needles Arrive (Part 1)
An extra-dimensional species simply called “Needles” has just arrived—and things have gotten bad.
The Far Reaches Reviews: “Void” by Veronica Roth
“Void” is a murder mystery story, front and center. And, with as much forthrightness, I’ll admit to my lack of knowledge of the subgenre. I don’t know the conventions.
The Magnus Protocol Reviews: “Well Run”
“Well Run” is a chaotic, disjointed, flawed, but ultimately enjoyable episode of The Magnus Protocol. The main horror story is riffing on a classic concept that’s been explored in many other places but is still effective for a reason.
