a typo idea wot you may steal


Just now I was attempting to type the word "fratboy".

And instead I typed "fratbot".

I thought, There's a story in that. But I also thought, It's a story I'm never going to write.

So, if you'd like it, it's yours. On the other hand, if you sell the movie rights to Steven Spielberg for a seven-figure advance, I'd like me a cut, okay?

Goddamnit. I saw this post last night and thought, huh, fratbots, that's funny but were I to write something, it probably wouldn't involve AIs. Then the Story That Is Eating My Brain (dear Story: I AM NOT A FRICKIN' WRITER! GO PLAGUE SOMEONE WITH SKILLZ!) ate the fratbot and . . . yeah. Now we have psis and AIs and government conspiracies, oh my.

*sigh*

(also poetry) (only not)
