This is your first post. Replace this with your fiction and stories.</p>\n<p>The Magpie is a small fiction notebook for drafts, fragments, links, and essays about how stories get made. The name fits the habit: a bright sentence from <a href=\"https://www.gutenberg.org/\">Project Gutenberg</a>, a detail overheard on a train platform, a weather report from the <a href=\"https://www.weather.gov/\">National Weather Service</a>, and a line from an old letter can all end up in the same nest.</p>\n<p>This first entry is intentionally plain. It gives the index a few paragraphs to breathe against and gives the article template enough text to show spacing, link color, and the weight of the dark theme.</p>\n<h2>What Belongs Here</h2>\n<p>Expect a loose mix of forms:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>short fiction and flash pieces</li>\n<li>notes on structure, memory, and unreliable narration</li>\n<li>links to useful essays, archives, interviews, and public-domain texts</li>\n<li>occasional process notes from the desk</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The site should feel like a field guide with a flashlight: narrow, legible, and a little watchful. Longer essays can sprawl when they need to, but the default shape is compact enough to read in one sitting.</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>A story does not have to explain the whole dark room. Sometimes it only has to tell you what moved.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p>For now, the archive is small. Start with <a href=\"https://magpie.tender.wtf/2024/05/05/the-garden-at-midnight/\">\"The Garden at Midnight\"</a> for a longer fiction sample, or read <a href=\"https://magpie.tender.wtf/2024/05/03/on-narrative-and-memory/\">\"On Narrative and Memory\"</a> for an essay-shaped placeholder with citations and notes.</p>\n","summary":"An introduction to a bird with a love for the written word.","date_published":"2024-01-01T00:00:00.000Z","author":{"name":"a-dummy"},"tags":["fiction","site-notes","storytelling"]}]
