With National day now behind us, so begins that final march toward the end of the year. Here in Nanjing, we are lucky that march enjoys the best weather around. Joining us this month from Shanghai (that’s three in this issue; you guys rock) is Timothy Natcher Pruett for our Fiction piece. A selfdescribed, theme-park enthusiast, he claims to have taken to 26 metro systems and over 100 roller coasters throughout China. It appears to have affected his wrtiting (p. 16-19). Sincere thanks also to all writers at Inkwell Chinawide who submitted potential stories for this issue. Also from the big smoke, we have Lillian Paetzold Chen continuing her Teenage Jailbreak and Matthew Stedman who has discovered the “joys” of a red health code(!). Also making his debut this month, we welcome Nic Gibson, who for this month’s theme examines some of the quirkier regulations out there all over the world and the logic behind them, or lack thereof (p. 10-13). Welcome to “Rules” from The Nanjinger.
