Krystal Grow? Maybe she should have applied for the internship at Penthouse.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
And ensuring, if her original application antics hadn't, that she'll never work for SPIN as long as she lives.
Nor for anything else bigger than the North Adams Transcript, I'm guessing.

Oh god. She's one of the "I'm so smart everyone should love me and if they don't they are stupid and it is all their fault and I'm blameless." Scary.
Allyson, no need for a lecture. It happens. Just be glad you're not on a pretty full bus in a third world country and your backpack is in the luggage compartment. Not that that every happened.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Nor for anything else bigger than the North Adams Transcript, I'm guessing.
Exactly. Bad-mouthing someone in the industry publicly? Not a good idea all around.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Oh, pretty please?? I'll give you a tampon.
Ohmigod, this made me laugh.
I think our friend Krystal was raised with the notion that "everyone gets a trophy" even if they suck.
She's also a crappy writer.
Yes, write to her I shall. She needs to throw herself on the bed and cry one more time, just for me.

If I only had a brain...
I got the cite from Romenesko. Heh, heh. She is NEVER going to get another job in the industry, I'm guessing.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Allyson, I hope you post your letter to her here or in LJ for us to enjoy as well. Also, I have a question to email you-- which is the best address to use?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Allyson, just thank god you're not sitting in the bedroom of a man you fancy who's just told he you wants you, and you're secure in your knowledge you need to get on a bus and travel 30 minutes to home before you get to a tampon, because ALL the stores nearby are closed.
However, OUCH, and I need to go hide extra tampons everywhere.

Aimee's funny. I love that scene. Krystal NEEDS to get flamed by Allyson.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I've never had much urge to own a house.
And yet, you already own one.
I'm wondering about what font she used now. Something unicornesque, I expect.
Comic sans.
