★★★☆☆ Average
(Multiverse Fantasy) The Cartography Corps charts alternate Earths in different realities, but today they’ve come to our version of Manhattan, where, for some reason, they’re drawn to the Flatiron building. (3,665 words; Time: 12m)

Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Review: 2019.342 (A Word for Authors)
Pro: I was amused that the visitors are just making maps, so they really, truly don’t want anything, and I especially liked the Tor.com people offering to tell the press it was all a publicity stunt.
Con: Not a lot actually happens in this story. It mostly seems to be an in-joke for the benefit of people who work for Tor.com

This is a good 3-star story that is worth reading. Would have helped if it was a bit longer. I would have liked to have seen a bit more interaction between the visitors and the TOR staff.
