Hello. This record-length issue is by special request: a breakdown of the fiction piece in the previous issue, talking through what's in it in terms of what, in fiction, would be the setting. I find this a little weird to write; I'm very used to breaking down other people's writing to get at the nuts and bolts, and very unused to doing it to my own. If you're not into it, feel absolutely free to skip this issue, and there'll be another one in a few weeks which is not so meta.
