Is it a good thing, or a bad thing, when even something like *this*
gives you a story idea? I'm honestly having trouble deciding. (I'm
serious...getting an answer to this question is my main reason for
posting this fic. Read on, then tell me, please.)
You know.... every so often, things on the list reach a deplorable state: the
sigwar era, Jack Ji, my own slightly suicidal attempt to start an anti-Tybalt
underground, and most recently, the backlash against spam and story ideas,
coupled with the unfortunate and ill-timed "Wooden Ponies" post that will most
likely become a legend.
And then.... THEN.... somebody takes an utterly horrible, horrendous thing,
reaches deep down inside it, and pulls forth a shining gem of ficness. And my
basic faith in the creative process is restored.
This not only may lighten the dark and gloomies I've noticed aroound here
lately, but it's one of the best SPAMfics I've ever read. Plus, I don't think
anybody's ever actually taken it into their heads to write from Takahashi's
perspective before.
A.C.M.E....... heh.
