 Sticking Up for the Girls: In Defense of Female Space Marines   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
A crucial element to fiction is something called “suspension of disbelief.” That is, the willingness of readers to momentarily believe in people that never existed (called “characters”) and events that never happened (called “plot”).
There’s an axiom of fiction writing that says it’s okay to “Ask the reader to believe the impossible but not the improbable.” Thus, it’s okay to ask readers to believe in Eldar, for instance, but not female Space Marines, because while the former is virtually impossible, it’s somehow easier to believe than the latter.

Let me state unequivocally that while each individual paragraph occurred as written, the notion of her sitting down and listing each of my faults and failures, in a letter to Ann Landers, is patently ridiculous.

 "Major Dell Conway of the Flying Tigers" (1951)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The TV series, which we remembered as just "THE FLYING TIGERS", was set in post War contemporary times.The Flying Tigers of this story were all said to be veterans of the War, but were now a sort of uniformed para military group of crusading air men.
I can remember one of the group was a big guy in his military type suit and had the nickname of either "Moose" or "Caribou".
In looking back, the fictional FLYING TIGERS of this short lived series from the early days of live TV bore a striking resemblance to the Quality Comic Book feature (later DC Comics), BLACKHAWK*, which started out as a aviation comic feature during World War II.

 Yblis' Bzrkx
The idea of a human-like Necron leader has always appealed to me; in the fictionalized battle report New Year, New Enemy, I assigned some human characteristics to Lord Thoth.
Though the Necrontyr long ago submitted themselves to become machines, it seems quite reasonable to me that the Lords—presumably the strongest-willed of the Necrons—kept some aspects (even some emotions, perhaps?) from their mortal lives.
Hence, in the fictional piece that begins this article, I have the Necron who becomes Lucifer recall (or imagine?) past battles and victories.

A master of the short story genre, Borges has never written a novel, and his actual fictional output easily fits into a moderately sized hardcover edition – and yet so does the Torah, those pesky five books that form the written roots of some of the major Western religions.
Not a writer of characters and emotions, Borges is at home in a universe of philosophy, speculation, and Big Ideas, and the sheer density of his thought cannot be measured by the length of his stories.
