Man, this sounds like riveting drama. Turtle Fan (talk) 21:12, August 21, 2016 (UTC)

I can't read this story without feeling drowsy. It ranks among the worst crap HT has turned out. I have no idea why he thought it was worth telling.JonathanMarkoff (talk) 07:00, August 22, 2016 (UTC)
Haven't read it, just going from the descriptions here. He's done similar slice-of-life stories, but they all pack some genre-specific twist or punch. This just sounds pointlessly boring. Still, I think I'd rather read it than, say, SIStGTRotG, to say nothing of TGS. Turtle Fan (talk) 16:43, August 22, 2016 (UTC)
It pretty obviously has autobiographical elements, so it's certainly personal to him, anyway. It's nothing special, but I could appreciate it at that level. I've written one or two bits of things like that. I doubt the public would give a shit were I fortunate enough to become a professional writer, but, my wife kind of liked them.

Put that way, I suppose it's a harmless enough indulgence. Turtle Fan (talk) 21:24, August 22, 2016 (UTC)
