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 think I got Untherius' fic

[(Anonymous)]

Yes this will out me but I'm not complaining about it or making trouble so I haope that's ok. I'm pretty sure it's the Cinderella one. It has his hallmarks, such as bringing in characters from other francises. Plus he has written a Disney fic 3 years in a row if you count this.

Much appreciated.

time for the big question: did you like it?

Re: I think I got Untherius' fic

Does anyone ever really "like" untherius fic aside from rubbernecking and popcorn?

I got a Madness fic from him one time and LOVED IT. Finding out who had given it to me was the cherry on top of the cake. Such a good first Yuletide experience, 1000% recommend.

It was...interesting.

Has he done Wolpertingers before, or are those a new one for him?

Re: I think I got Untherius' fic

If you actually are the recip, I'm sorry he once again played his "get as close to your DNWs as he can without actually hitting them" game.

Re: I think I got Untherius' fic

Did he, though? Random whipping is random, but it is not graphic sex.

Re: I think I got Untherius' fic

That would make it dnw adjacent without hitting the dnw, then, wouldn't it? Exactly like cyrt said?

Re: I think I got Untherius' fic

BDSM is not inherently "graphic sex adjacent" any more than kissing someone is "graphic sex adjacent."

Re: I think I got Untherius' fic

[(Anonymous)]

No it wouldn't.

Re: I think I got Untherius' fic

[(Anonymous)]

No, it would make it not having the DNW.

Re: I think I got Untherius' fic

It isn't graphic sex, and it isn't anything I would report to the mods...but BDSM isn't what I would have written for someone who DNWs graphic sex, DNWs a bunch of kinks, and (most importantly) doesn't express interest in anything kinky.

Not a rule break, but it's clear that he's still writing for his own enjoyment more than his recipient's. My interpretation of this fic would be more generous with an exchange newbie (or almost anyone who isn't Untherius) but he's had people trying to hold his hand through exchange etiquette for years.

Re: I think I got Untherius' fic

Yeah, he's always writing fics that are basically "na-na-na-na-naa-a, I'm not touching your DNW but I sure found a loophole to skirt as close to it as I can!".

That's Aurae. Untherius is "I'm here to have fun, and my latest batshit idea is my idea of fun. Didn't you say this was supposed to be creative?"

For various reasons, I doubt you're the recipient of the Cinderella fic. But if you are, just for the record, it's bad form to leave a comment full of praise and then run to the anon forums to say the opposite.

Re: I think I got Untherius' fic

I think that if Untherius actually cared about anon forums, he would know exactly why his fic is inappropriate and not well liked. So either he visits and doesn't give a shit, knowing his recipient is unlikely to be pleased by his bad faith gift. Or he doesn't visit. Either way, I don't think that there's anything wrong with the recipient leaving a nice comment on the off chance that he doesn't visit and complaining about their very justified grievances here.

it's not just about Untherius

Re: I think I got Untherius' fic

They really didn’t say the opposite though.

Wtf? No, it's not. That's what anon comms are for. Do you think everyone who talks about secretly hating their fic actually indicates it in the comment? That would defeat the purpose of "secretly".

lol they're not being anonymous though, not for long.

Reading through it and there's a character called the Count of Monte Dumas. Come on man
