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.

https://archiveofourown.org/collections/yuletide2023/works/52331842 I really wanted to like this Eagle fic about Esca and Marcus having a culture clash over the masculinity of gay sex more than I did, but it just didn't stick the landing for me, idk.

There’s a longer piece I was really looking forward to. Unfortunately it seems the author has not heard of commas

It is both the people who think that Yuletide participants should be so desperate for content in their fandom that they shouldn't write letters/etc because they should be happy for ANYTHING and the people who think wanting comments is entitled or whatever that one dumbass wank was.

Most FFA Xmas wank is displaced real life stress. Look up salad dressing wank as another fine example. Someone that bent out of shape when a nonny says they mildly dislike something generally means in the background, the oven's on fire, their parents are screaming at each other over who was supposed to wrap the presents, and the cat is hiding on the roof.

you're not wrong! It's just funny how in this wank the people who are bent out of shape are trying to portray the 'other side' as if their roof is made entirely of cats.

actually the cat is not hiding on the roof. he is there because i put him there. i exiled him. his crime, you ask? he spoke my name

Mewmew rrrawr, I'm going to need you to step away from your device, eat a snickers, and take a nap. You're not you when you're hungry.

Honestly if your cat starts talking to you in human language exiling him to the roof seems legit.

Refreshing the stats every five seconds to see if there are more hits for my fic in a fandom from the ass half of the alphabet as if I am not myself going alphabetically and barely halfway through B.

Interesting end result of Yuletide is that I have found that I want to write sequels at some point in the future, perhaps turn the one I wrote into the starting point of a series. For a fandom I have never written in before. I suppose that's part of the point of this escapade, to grow fandoms.
