you've made a most egregious mistake though, in the form of a typo in addendum -2; and thus i quote:
It was a reptile in that it was cold. It was a mammal on that it was warm.
i'd be real embarrassed if i was you
I really love what's here, it kind of reminds me of your collaboration with Henzoid which is one of my favorite articles you've done. However, I feel like there's something I'm missing, or perhaps, something that is missing from this article, so I will have to no-vote. Really happy to read another article from you though.
pastarasta1 is quick-talking and often scheming
I wasn't sold on this until that ending, but that message and especially the detail about the teeth clinched my upvote. Awesome.
A fantastic article. The topic, depth, and especially the writing were so all-around great that I'm not really sure how to explicitly say what I like/dislike about it.
Actually, scratch that. What I disliked about the article was that its quality of writing is so good that my writing bar/standard might have increased unfairly 😜.
Definitely a +1
Ha! Good take on the kind of urban legend you'd expect from this kind of department. Loved the way they tried to logic-out the inner workings of this legend, and how it backfired. Very fitting.
+1~
I was wondering why the hell it was Euclid the entire time, until I got to the kicker. Brilliant. Love the interpretation and "scientification" of folklore as well. +1
There's a really strong setup to the main concept here, and I do appreciate a version of the Foundation that takes fairytales dead seriously. I will say though, that while I like the stinger at the end, the message burnt into the ceiling really lacks any sense of subtlety and feels very "horror movie". The message in the ceiling feels very intentionally left for someone who was not there- the reader. I feel as if the scene would be better if that message was removed and we were left with the blood and teeth.
I pretty much completely agree with fabledtiefling here. The ending feels abrupt and a little too on-the-nose. Also I fixed a typo, "I asked me if it…" to "I asked it if…"
