<<< because this stuff is too crazy for me
Maybe we can make the ultimate best story by eliminating 90% of the stories ad infinitum
[11:46:11 AM | Edited 11:46:14 AM] Majin Stuffing: but then 90% of the final story will be crap
[11:46:15 AM] Belligerent Sock: Natural selection don't work that way, M1.
[11:46:49 AM] M1Garand8: [11:46 AM] Majin Stuffing:
<<< but then 90% of the final story will be crap
True
[11:46:53 AM] Majin Stuffing: so you'd keep cutting 90% of that story until you get to one word
[11:47:01 AM] Majin Stuffing: and 90% of that word will be crap
[11:47:12 AM] Majin Stuffing: so you'd cut it down to one letter
[11:47:13 AM] M1Garand8: IT NEVER ENDS
[11:47:26 AM] Majin Stuffing: and that letter will be X, the edgiest letter of all
[11:47:42 AM] M1Garand8: lel
[11:47:56 AM | Edited 11:48:04 AM] Belligerent Sock: And then Z comes in and murders X.
[11:47:57 AM] Belligerent Sock: PLOT TWIST!
[11:48:13 AM] AdamThePony: And 7 eats 9
[11:48:19 AM] *** M1Garand8 backstabs Sock with a letter Z ***
i also tagged my latest fic because why not
Because you're not supposed to use fic tags for that.
2584012 eh, whatevs.
But wouldn't 90% of that letter be utter crap?
2584092 Which is why Z killed it.
Mind=Blown
2584100
But then Z! Oh... Great... You know, whatever, Murphy's Law.
That's not how Sturgeon's Law works!
