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.

How do you know it's them?

Maybe they've reached the level of passionate nemesitude where they know them more deeply and profoundly than anyone else and can recognize them in any disguise, maybe they just know who writes like that in a particular tiny fandom.

Either way I ship it

Cyrt - Because they write the same fic every single year with only the names changed.
