Horse Apple Turnover by Impossible Numbers
Think Flim and Flam got away a little too easily from Sweet Apple Acres? That was just the start of their humiliation conga, as this short story tells. A bit of lighthearted fun at the brothers' expense.

The July 1954 issue of Beyond Fantasy Fiction magazine, a short-lived spinoff of Galaxy Science Fiction, had a Midsummer Night's Dream fanfic called Yours for the Asking, that sadly cannot be found in any other publication/anthology/what have you.
Oberon and Puck have been investigating the advertising industry's use of the word magic, and find, to both their relief and their annoyance, that it's all puffery. Puck casts a spell on an advertising exec so that everything labelled magic does literally what the advertisement says. Hilarity ensues.
