So, one of the webcomics I read is Misfile. The short sum-up of the story is this: "Once a slacker angel in heaven's records department was almost caught smoking a joint on duty. In his rush to clean up he shoved several files away without checking to see what drawer they went in. Unfortunately for him, while he didn't get caught violating the ( Read more... )

Heee!

I have very mixed feelings about Misfile (long story, and not its fault) but this is funny!

I mean really, one would think #3 was obvious, no matter the gender of either participant.

Not every story is for everyone. Either not to personal taste, or else triggery for reasons that might be baffling to others. Or sometimes just personal stuff (I got thrown off of reading things by SM Stirling, not by the sometimes cringe inducing moments in his books, but by some of the positions he's taken on 'the great neverending internet copyright debate', namely his suggestion that it would be perfectly reasonable to require everyone to have all their computers checked annually (or heck, it might have been every 6 months) by the police with on the spot confiscation for the slightest perceived copyright violation).

Yeah, I've stopped reading authors for similar reasons.

Ook. Yeah, that would be awkward (and a good example of a personal trigger).

Although the best example of a personal trigger I know of isn't to do with fiction by food. The last time my sister ate mini shredded wheat cereal she was also listening to a tape with Shel Silverstein's Sarah Cynthia Silvia Stout (Would Not Take The Garbage Out). With all the description of all the trash that was piling up.

Now every time she thinks of shredded wheat cereal it makes her think of the list of trash...
