== Intro Clip: ==
"This is the auto-erotic asphyxiation of fantasy novels." - Ivan
== Show Notes: ==
* As red very astutely jokes, this short story reads more like a wikipedia article than other Railroad works. In other words it continues to be a bit of a 'slog'. But the episode of BGaS is a great one!
* YAY! Sick Red! Not that we don't love you happy and healthy. It is sometimes very fun to hear how much Ivan squirms with Sick Red around.
== Quotes: ==
"It feels to me that litterly, he had a publishing contract that you have to do a short story, then he reached behind him to one of his notebooks and said here publish this...publish as is" - Red
