      But Otto suffered from multiple personalities. One of whom, Emily, thought she was a Czech farmer.

      Except, that the Czech farmer she thought she was, always dreamed of being a butcher.

    Can someone summarize what this story is about?

    Are you challenging someone to karma whore for you? I'm sure 15,000 words isn't enough to stop some whores though ;-)

    I conceived of a plan to write a series of stories with the same titles as famous sf shorts, which would pick apart the toalitarian [sic] assumptions underpinning some of sf's classic narratives.

    What a coincidence! Just this morning, I myself embarked upon a series of drawings intended to undermine the assumptive usage of light and shadow in the French Impressionist movement.

    Which is to say, What the Fuck is a Cory Doctorow?

    That I wrote the names of famous baseball players on paper and sold it to kids telling them that it was a genuine autograph.

    Okay, I didn't really do that.
    Maybe I should have.

    Someone called SCO just called. They said something about patenting your story and then threatening to sue everyone who reads Isaac Asimov, I don't know.
