We held an informal poll among the Superversive authors, and these are the two dozen choices for the title to our new column on writing, speculative fiction, fandom, friends, and family.
Please tell us your favorites. (Responses will be correlated with responses to this poll posted elsewhere. The suggestion Superverting Expectations also received votes, but it does not fit the theme of this column. We may use it for another column.

If you can borrow from another author, Holding Wonder. (Zenna Henderson had a collection of short stories by that name – she was nominated for a Hugo and is slammed for stereotypical gender roles. A good collection. She was a teacher. Influenced Bujold, Orson Scott Card, and others.
Was influenced by Heinlein, Bradbury, Clement, and Asimov))
“Peanut Butter and Lembas” gets my vote
Small, Familiar Magics strikes me:)
