"People ask me 'Brooke McElaaaThorax, how can you possibly stretch a stale non-joke over 6, sometimes even as many as 18, days straight?'. Well, here's a snapshot of that tortured process in text form."

If you want the long fics, you need to give feedback.

Nothing saves a long fic like you commenting, keyboard slamming, engaging with the author through the comment section.

I have written several long fics just because people liked it, told me so and it encouraged me to keep writing it.

Comment.

Elephant in the room here:

"Fall of the House of X" royally sucked. It was an embarassment to everyone involved.

At least the UU is getting an ending from the talents that helped create it.

At this point I'm not so much irritated at the strip's descent into constantly flirting with pedophilia (or hebephilia). That subject is debated enough.

No, what I object to is A) He's making money off of it, and B) The entire time he's clearly convinced it's the HEIGHT of culture and refinement.

Suddenly recalling that one political cartoon of angry, jeering WASPs crucifying Jesus, while the man holding the hammer and the nails looks anxious and says "Stop struggling! Don't you respect our FREEDOM of SPEECH?!"

And yet theh dress like they're in their late 40s-early 50s while she digs out her "look at what a sexually desirable child I was" costume out for the hundredth fucking time

Schrodinger's Nastiness: the wave function never collapses, and the character is in a simultaneous uncertain state of both "child" and "woman".

The only certainty is that she remain an object rather than a person.

The therapist will just prescribe a long dip in the lake (pool?) and a rigorous session of Mozart.

P/L: "Our Mother, after you sexually matured, did you somehow pull our Father into sexual maturity by his bootstraps?"

E: "No, he remains a child in almost every conceivable way."

A: "But a happy child, and that's the most important thing."

"Oh, it's a funny story! My name is literally Lolita, but it's my *fiancee* who acts like a traumatised infant every time we even hint at sexuality. Just like my father before him"

"Did...did you mean *his* father before him?"

"I did not fucking stutter. But also, yes, you're right"

"Is nothing sacred?", he asks, a cishet man framed in the lesbian flag colors, once again co-opting a quotation about the love between two women for the exclusive usage of his self-insert straight couples
