Huzzah! I entered the Polite Dissent Nikolai Dante contest in the quantity category, trying to fit as many items from this big list into one story. I didn’t manage to fit every item into my story, but I won anyway because the person who submitted this lovely poem with every item on the list already won a copy of Nikolai Dante in the quality contest. So here is my story, called Svetlana and the Library of the Weird. Beware, I took the quantity category to heart, so it doesn’t make much sense.
I’m looking forward to reading Nikolai Dante, thanks for the fun contest Scott!
