Ha! I like the one-eyed author in this issue, and how he defends his work as the trash it is. I too have written trash. I know it is trash. Should anyone ever try to interpret it in any fancy way then, frankly, they'd have to be dreaming. I write good things and I also write trash, so I've got instant sympathy for any author who's in the same boat, and let's face it - they all are.

This particular issue has made me marginally more interested in the robot prince. He does still feel like a walking subplot right now, but that may well change.
