Bit behind, but plan to catch up soon! No Tardis Wikia synopsis so rattled one up myself: Finding himself transferred to the notorious Camp Gulliver, Doug Canning soon learns that in the facility stories are forbidden and no prisoner who ever returns can describe what happens on the Special Wing.

I came about this story in a roundabout way, having first stumbled upon many of the concepts in the later Book of the Enemy story, The Enemy of My Enemy Is My Enemy, a parody of the lives of Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, and JK Rowling. I'm glad I came to the story with that context in mind, because this earlier narrative is vaguer on the topics featured. There's some evocative stuff about censored literature and niche internet media. It feels tangential to most FP concepts, but treads on enough overlapping themes to fit in nicely. All these little sub-stories and interests of specific authors can be tricky to track over the various anthologies (like the fact there's a direct follow-up to On the City of the Saved in Romance in Twelve Parts that I stumbled onto without being aware it was in there).

Like several stories in Romance this one required a couple of reads from me to understand what was going on. I read this story first long before raking up the concepts again in the later story you mentioned. This one more than most opens itself up to potential future stories. I think Cousin Story and the concepts deserve wider exploration. |
