Morbane's coal

In quantum wankchanics, Morbane's coal is a thought experiment, sometimes described as a paradox, of quantum wankerposition. In the thought experiment, a hypothetical gift may be considered simultaneously both the fic of your dreams (TFOYD) and coal, while it is unread state, as a result of its fate being linked to a random subatomic event that may or may not occur.

The Coaltide interpretation implies that, after a while, the gift is simultaneously TFOYD and coal. Yet, when a coalie clicks on their gift, the coalie sees the gift either TFOYD or coal, not both TFOYD and coal. This poses the question of when exactly quantum wankerposition ends and reality resolves into one possibility or the other.

Superiority over someone like you? Oh, honey. That's not terribly difficult.

Is this is a new fishspeaker tactic to get people to yell at you?

I'm glad you agree that society is so misogynistic that it makes any alternative almost invisible.

Stop engaging the confrontational troll. Just don't reply to them.

Coal has had one very angry troll for the past few days and a bunch of people keep taking their bait.

Short comments. For one, yay more people read my fic, for another, I don't really care for very long comments in the first place.

No, I'm a femslasher who reads and writes lesbian profic and reads and writes lesbian fanfic. We exist! I wish defensive M/M types would just...not comment. It's fine that you like what you like, but that's what it is, a preference, and the insistence that there just aren't enough female characters to write about says more about your media consumption than it does about the actual landscape of media. Or misogyny, for that matter.

I was really hoping that always a girl would catch on where the main guy would be always a girl and the the main het pairing would just be femalash.

Alas that has not been the case.

I'm not sure what your point is? My point was that perceiving all fic as simply downstream of the all-powerful and always-misogynistic Canon Creators is a silly way to do things.

Hint: it's because the people writing that are not actually interested in F/F.

Buddy, pal, friend, I'm also a femslasher. Please stop being so defensive.

I am not the defensive one here, nonny.

Nicely made but itchy sweater. My writer obviously paid attention to SPAG, but lost track of which family member they were referring to in several sections and more irritatingly, made a character not aware of a certain plot point in canon very aware of it instead.

Can we take the accusations of defensiveness back to FFA where they belong

Re: What ship configuration did you write/receive?

(Anonymous) 2023-12-26 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Received het, wrote m/m. I write pretty typical m/m during the rest of the year (explicit shipfic) so I usually try to write f/f for exchanges but nothing grabbed me this year enough to offer it (I still need to watch Bottoms!)

Why did you assume I was defensive M/M then?

Re: Porn - M/M

(Anonymous) 2023-12-26 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Because the comment I replied to trots out the bog standard "there's nothing to be done, it's all out of our control, there are just more male characters" defensive nonsense.

Something from a store I thought I didn’t like that turned out to be super comfy and looked great when I put it on, so now I’m like “hell yes I am an Eileen Fisher caftan person now.”

Lovingly handmade sweater, just for me, and I will treasure it forever.
