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.

Re: What ship configuration did you write/receive?

Wrote M/M for someone who requested it. When I write ships it’s typically M/M, though I write a lot more genfic than romance.

For the fandom I ended up getting gifted I said I was fine with shipfic of any combination of requested characters, and picked two male characters and two female characters, and made it giver’s choice. Received F/F that I like very much.
