We, the delegates to the second Portland Accord, welcome novelist Jessica Anthony (author of The Convalescent and other smashing writings) to our circle of peer pressure and intranational crafting. Faced with late-winter production deficits in key areas, we believe it is best to embrace Jess's fantastic productivities rather than to cower in the face of them. Delegate Anthony accepted our offer with her now-famous line, "Ask not what my stories can do for you; ask what you can do for my stories." Boldly, we expand to support, defend, and make complete fun of them.
