We realized that this week's story, boringly titled "Fate," is a perfect Adam Sandler movie, and it reads about as well as you'd expect. To be fair, this is what we get for choosing a story based on a random word in the title which happened to be "boots." So that's on us folks. Suggested talking points: Flipjock the Barbersmith, Hissing, Boots, or Ale, Summer Santa, The Other 1...

This week's story might sound a little bit familiar, and there's a good reason for that. It turns out that back in Ye Olden Times, fairy tale authors were much less litigious and didn't check for plagiarism that often. We're reading "The Story of the Seven Simons." Suggested talking points: Castle math, palace building strategies, the Armstrong Council, the Sphinx's nonsense riddle, prin...

Suggested talking points: Grand Duke, Filly-Buster, Sea...

What might have started out as a joke about name choices in Iceland quickly turns into an emotional ride at the hands of a probably warlock named "Habogi," which is also the name of our story this week. His motives can only be guessed at, but it's either a strange form of revenge, or possibly just an innate love of chaos. Suggested talking points: Ye olde ponyoff, scurs, ventriloquist pe...

This story comes really close to having the most metal ending of any story we've read thus far, but just misses the mark. Introducing a cast of interesting characters that do nothing, while we stick with the boring ones, this week we read "Vasilisa the Beautiful." Suggested talking points: Literal Ghost Town, Mint in Box, A Sandler-esque Grasp of Time, And Her Name Is…, Born of Marshmall...
