Paul Michael Anderson's Blog: The Dumping Ground, Part Deux

Hey, a free story (and my one attempt at fan fiction)

Necessary preamble: Back in 2017, the SyFy (is that the logo of that network? whatever) ran The Magicians, a series adapted from the trilogy of novels by Lev Grossman. I loved the novels (first clued in on them by Joe Hill while walking the stacks of a bookstore all the way back in 2009 or 2010, before he gave a reading from his then-new novel Horns), and so watched the series with great interest.

Paul Michael Anderson liked Tara Parker's review of Standalone: "More of a 3.75. This one confused me some, but I’ll chalk it up to being sick while reading it haha. Super interesting concept, the writing was well-done, and the short story afterward was also really good."
