User blog comment:Matthew Babe Stevenson/Minor Fictional Characters in Laura Frankos Short Stories/@comment-37503859-20190501205555

Treating Laura Frankos stories as a group, I think it makes sense to have MFC. Especially when anticipating "The Sea Mother's Gift", which crams in as many MFC as a Harry Turtledove novel. The story deals with the great plague of 1160 BC and introduces a host of "redshirts" who are all given names and basic biographical thumbnails while being killed off.
