Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


"Anyway, Putty Tat, what the hell happened here? Not just what I just fixed, but I just saw a news report that 246 quit because he disagreed with some policy of yours."

  • Marty Stu: 246
  • Mary Suetopia: The English district, anyway.
  • So Bad It's Good
