Oh, crap. · 4:44pm Jul 21st, 2017

I almost want to say "I'm sorry" for this.



I'm sure you've probably already noticed, but PoSiE II exists now. As Bugsydor has already noted in the comments, it's a spiritual successor rather than an actual sequel, which means it contains poop jokes and low-brow humor at best. I won't apologise for it, but it does seem like a good idea to say a couple of things about it.

I am not implying that all of the stories in the Replaced genre are crappy. Just mine. I was even able to read most or all of the Replaced stories that exist (for science), where I hadn't yet found a single Displaced story that I didn't cringe away from about three sentences in – provided that I made it past the description – while researching for PoSiE I.

As such, this is more of a parody of my own PoSiE, as well as evidently poking fun at how much Spike gets to contribute in the show sometimes. I'm not sure I did a good (well, relatively good) job with that, but I generally don't write stuff this dumb, which necessitates mental exhaustion to cross some lines. Bottom line, this story is dumb for the sake of dumb, not for making any kind of point.

So yeah. At best, I only conditionally recommend reading PoSiE I, and PoSiE II is no better. There's another possibly excessively subtle joke about which episodes were featured. One kudo to anyone (who isn't Bugsydor) who figures that one out.

That's because you were there, discussing it with me while I wrote it. :moustache:
