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.

Same, what gives! Can't believe more people did not consume [artsy/literary canon that came out this year with almost no fandom presence even if it did have canon slash]

coalie, I know you can't say the fandom now because it'd deanon you, but that sounds right up my alley! if this is what i think it is, you just gave someone a canon rec :)

It's not a book, and I'm not the only one who wrote for it this year. It's also in the top half of the alphabet.
