Before I begin writing a story, I always ask my sagacious and superb readers for insight. In the past you’ve helped me choose which story premise is the strongest. You’ve even suggested various mythical foods I could include in my upcoming novel, Magic Banquet. Thank you! They turned out deliciously.

This time I’ll be stockpiling an armory of ideas for a premise that’s as crazy as it is fantastical. I chuckle every time I think of it. With your help, I hope to make it worthy of a cackling.
