  2. Ben et. al. Keywords: Irrealist, fantastic, joke, label, magical stuff.
  3. Matt Cheney, in the YA slapfest. Keywords: ghetto, groupthink, Frankenstein, secret (superior) history.
  4. Hal Duncan, in the same slapfest. Keywords: plot, meaning, “central metaphoric conceit.”
  5. Hal again. Keywords: aesthetic form, commercial formula, arbitrary.
