"There's not much point [...] in arguing with someone who's convinced that the Martians are stealing his toilet paper."
--- Neil Gaiman in his blog, June 3rd 05
STORIES OF THE WEEK
Title: Megiddo
Author: Alan P. Scott
Length: 3000 words
Why read it? Because with a first sentence like this, "The angel stooped on me out of the desert sun. I barely had time to shoulder my launcher and trigger a glory-seeking missile before he reached me.", how can you not?
Why not read it? Not in the fandom.
Title: Bruce Campbell vs. The Army of Fangirls
Author: Weyoun
Length: 3500 words
Why read it? It's fun.
Why not read it? You read that type of story before, and it wasn't much fun the first time around.
Title: Duncan MacLeod and the Stone Chicken
Author: Astrochick
Length: 11,500 words
Why read it? Monty Python goes well with the weather.
Why not read it? It's silly.
Title: Magweth Pengolodh: The Question of Pengolod
Author: Tyellas
Length: 90,000 words
Why read it? It's about Numenor, and languages, and boat races, and all the details that make a world.
Why not read it? Little action, no strong plot, and long.
