Brienne is standing behind King Renly Baratheon: she's wearing a helmet with stag horns, but she's got a feminine face and is very tall.

Stephanie Meyer is herself a Mormon....could it be that her specific writing style tapped into and addressed that demographic in particular?

Okay, I read the thing...wow is it short, insultingly short for an attempt at even "short fiction"....and yes, the biggest shock is that a major publication like "Nature" would print this.

Do you think its long enough and articulate enough to be like, a fan-submitted io9 post? Yeah right.
