Of course, if you confront them on the pretentiousness of it all, they will merely squirt a cloud of aerosolized ink at you and run away. Also, I think that squids have been under-represented in fantasy fiction, trailing only slightly behind African American protagonists and slightly ahead of naked mole rats. My own alternate -punk trends were published on <a href="http://www.darkfantasy.org/fantasy/?p=1053" rel="nofollow">Fantasy Magazine</a>, but none of them are as frighteningly believable as yours.
