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 got a perfectly good treat from them for a pairing so wild there's no way they didn't get into it just for me.

Clicking through her fics with only 2 comments (recip+misura response) is a fascinating experience because SO many of them are the *only* fic for that fandom or pairing on ao3. She is really out there putting the rare in yuletide and I think that's really nice.
