Feeling guiltyish

.

I am a writer of Thimprovs & Abstructs. To the layman: I make crap up without forethought.

Then, occasionally, people think I've made logic puzzle or a political commentary and they're enjoying themselves so much I hate to disabuse them of their notion and, who knows, maybe deep down inside it was intentional.

What's the ethical thing to do in this situation, Fobs?

Possible comments include:
  • Other trinities you can think of.
  • Peircean analysis.
  • Compliments on our good looks.

*Yes, I know Episode 4 has its own title, but that wasn't until later.
**Yes, I know that's not the order Peirce puts them in, but it's the order the song puts them in.
***But not necessarily in that order, so as to preserve their secret identities.

What, no one likes sex anymore?

.

I can't figure out why my eros posts attracted so few comments. It's mystifying.

The Marilyn Brown Novel Award

.

I've decided to submit this year (why not?). You all should too.

Change of plans

.

So my dear friend and expert came over today to help me with my LaTeX problems and he was astounded at their number and magnitude and, although it pained him greatly to say it, he recommended I use Word to typeset the Fob Bible. The certain disadvantages brought by Word will remain, but I think we can overcome or minimize them.

What this means for everyone else, mostly, is that the proofreading job will change. Instead of checking for wonky punctuation, wonky pagination (for instance).

Fun fun fun!
