Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

This is the conversation that has been going on for six bleeding weeks:

Author: Sorry my corrections are late! How do I give them to you? Me: Just write them out and I'll make the changes. ...time passes... Author: Sorry I'm late with the changes! How do I give them to you? Me: Just write them out. Can I have them by Monday? Author: Sure! ... Me: Can I have your changes THIS Monday? Author: Okay! And how do I send them to you? Me: ggnngrr ... Today: Author: Remind me what it is you need again?

I swear, this is almost verbatim.

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

Okay, the apartment was a notch more ghetto than I would have liked. Bonus extra hot neighbor could sway verdict, but I get wonky about scary neighborhoods.

Thanks for the birthday wishes!

Always Anti-fascist!

Have a great one, Allyson.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Author: Remind me what it is you need again?

Argh! Although.... sometimes I think I'm Author. But that's when the thing they want isn't something that I care about.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Author: Remind me what it is you need again?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Beans!
Beans?
The special beans!
I'd let him go,
I didn't know
He'd stolen my beans!
I was watching him crawl
Back over the wall
When--Bang! Crash!
The lightning flash!
And well, that's another story...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Nevermind, anyway...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

More than relieved it's over. Pass or fail, it's not something I can see redoing.

Here's a picture of the new Miss USA, who frankly looks scary-skinny to me:
