Brat summer is out, attic wife autumn is in. We’re hissing at people. We’re withdrawing from society. We’re growing our hair below our waist. We’re setting fire to his curtains. We’re gaslighting his new side piece.

Please SHARE! Writers! We want to apologize that we are still processing the recent short story submissions. Uncanny Magazine was hit with a massive volume of submissions due to AI subs. We hope to get through the pile over the next two weeks. Thank you for your patience.

One of the substantial errors, in my mind, in fantasy writing, is the idea that 'magic' has to be forced to follow either 1) a parallel system of physics or 2) a logical rules-based system. I'd argue instead that magic systems ought to be *thematically relevant* & *consistent.*
Also, the obsessive fixation on fleshed out magical systems is actually one of the problems with modern fantasy!

Worldbuilding/history chatter: the Nights Watch from ASoIaF/GoT/HotD don't actually make a lot of sense. The basic problem here isn't fantasy at all: how to keep a permanent security presence on a distant and potentially inhospitable border is an old problem. 1/

To be clear, what she is suggesting is a massive government funded bailout for the people who say they hate bailouts whenever anyone else gets them. "We should give massive amounts of the people's money to mostly affluent techbros who gambled on bitcoin and lost."
We will convert excess reserves at our 12 Federal Reserve banks into #bitcoin over five years. We have the money now!
