All Things Being Relative, Tanya Huff

This outstanding, and hilarious, short story can be found in the Villains Victorious anthology edited by the ubiqitous Martin H. Greenberg and John Helfers. 

Told from the perspective of the classic Dark Queen of faery tales dictating her biography to a hapless scribe it is one of my favourites that I dig out every so often.

Best line: "I dealt with the council in the traditional manner, replaced the carpets, and set about consolidating power."

Thoroughly recommended, track it down if you can

The sound of my sandals clipping in to the pedals. I haven't heard it in almost a week and it was amazing how good it sounded.

I'm still not fully recovered but I have a voice again and the ride was great. Admittedly I didn't push too hard but still... Yay!
