Outside the Jinglemas, I was part of a smaller secret Santa exchange. Which means I also wrote this story for Monochromatic. Well known RariTwi shipper isn't satisfied with her two faves, had to get greedy and throw in a third. Now, you might think that it's actually 50% more shipping, but a ship between two people creates one relationship. A three way ship is *three* relationships! This is, mathematically, 300% more ship for your ship.
I also got this in return from MagnetBolt, one of my low key favourite authors on this whole site, and it's absolutely spectacular comedy. Every time I try to think of what I want to say about it I just kind of laugh too hard to come up with... words. Descriptions. It's really unfair to him, but he's been a victim of his own success.
That story here, and it really is just fantastic.
I'm going to have your ribosomes on thin toast.
Hm, I was about to say 'but isn't it like 200% for each one?" and then realized you should care about what happen between your two friends too, not just between you and each one of them .. so, yes, more like 300%. Probably explains why this multilove (polyamory) thing is rarer .. among humans we tend to be around, at lest.
The general idea of exponential growth in this context is accurate, but your numbers look kind of sketchy. It's why polyamory is often illegal; most people can barely handle keeping one relationship of that nature healthy.
