The great curse of my position at magic is having to look at a beautiful piece of prose absolutely dripping with insightful and intelligent character work and go “this is great, but it needs more vampires”
Sometimes I complain about people making fun of me a lot, but then I remember how often I use the word “yonder”

a couple years ago i had a Magic story come out about a sad detective who gets seduced to the dark side by a necromancer, and they posted it under some random guy's name at first, which I think resulted in fans of my previous work missing it. anyway i like it. apparently it was too gay for Russia

pretty cool that physicists have finally proven the existence of faeries eager to lead lonesome travelers into their gloom-drenched netherworld
In swamps and marshes, people occasionally see mysterious blue-tinged flashes of light above water, which have commonly been associated with ghosts or spirits. Now physicists may have finally worked out what causes them.
We may finally know what causes will-o’-the-wisps
Mysterious flashes of light seen in swamps and bogs could be caused by burning methane or other gases, ignited by sparks that fly between bubbles in water

private equity is ruining all your favorite things. good news though: it will also make some of the most useless people in the world a lot richer
My colleagues at Bloomberg report that the $20 billion debt in the EA deal is expected to be rated single-B — meaning it is considered a "junk" loan, or one that is high-risk and speculative, typically offering high interest rates. Which the new EA will have to pay
