One: "You are educated evil, and might have to kill the evil ONE teaching educators before you can learn that 4 corner days actually do exist"
And, the other: "Death wobbled meretriciously, erring on the side of butch with a strong scent of whiskey on their jaw hinge." -

OT: Does Timecube count as fiction? by

On the one hand, it's clearly false and made-up, but on the other hand the author (from the looks of things) thought is was true and meant for it to be taken seriously.
This seems like an interesting edge case in the "fiction" category. -
I'm guessing you made that up. (nm) by

As 700 rounds per minute blazed across the bombed-out no-man's-land that used to be the city's most exclusive club, all that Corporal Allen McCormick could think was: "Did I leave the stove on?"

Here's the sentence:
She wanted me to play out the string, to find the place where she had stopped and was waiting for me, to follow the bread crumb trail until it dead-ended into her.
So: Published, badfic, or something I made up? -
Hmm. That looks tricky. by

And I'll add one of my own: "It was the only dream she was allowed to have and in truth it was the only dream she wanted to have. After twenty-four years she'd come to learn that there was a certain kind of alleviation achieved through the act of taking another's life."

I got it straight out of Ready Player One, the book. More or less, I only have a French version, so I had to translate. And I swear, this sort of line where the reader is considered as dumb as a brick abund. Might be because the chracters are on that level too. Movie is much better.
And for the sake of giving a shoot, I'll tell fanfiction for th line you gave. -

I haven't seen the movie, but it looks interesting. Anyway, it's probably a lot harder to get that sort of sentiment into a movie.

I haven't got far enough to decide if this Avengers fanfic is a raging 'Sue or just tiresome, but in any event that's a poor use of the word "alleviation".
