Morbane's coal

[coalcube]

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.

I've interacted with the recip in other exchanges, and they seemed cool. Bummer that they have been touched by this year's wankstorm.

Someone should write them a treat.

I would except I can't think of anything for that pairing. I might try for a Madness fic....

Someone keeps posting this here and at FFA even before reveals but hasn't done the obvious part and wrote it themselves.

Nonnie... it's because cyrt is fishspeakers.

Re: Untherius:

Pretty sure the original person asking for treats was fishspeakers too. It made no sense for anyone to be writing those people treats in the first place when we had no idea if she even offered those fandoms.

cyrt

That was my implication, yes.
