I would be interested! It's been on my reading list for a while, and it'd be nice to both get a little push and be able to discuss it with people and get their insights.

My vote is also for one chapter a week to minimize both uptake and attrition. I'm sure I speak for many of us when I say it's been a long time since I was regularly reading books, so getting through a relatively short selection can still be a challenge. As a bonus, it also makes it easier for people to join partway through.

if she chose fox or shiek I'd be cooked. No one choses those two unless you know what you're doing

you clearly never met me as a child

also only just now realizing that the three characters I mained in Melee were Samus, Zelda/Sheik, and Peach. Nothing to see there blob-no-thoughts

doubt/doompostingkeep trying to subtly hint that I might be trans to my trans friend but she won't violate the prime directive (or more likely, my "hints" are way too subtle). god I'm such a coward. I'm so deep in the closet I'm not even out to myself. and now with everything going to hell in a handbasket I don't know if I'll ever be out, not if I'm still living here anyway. even writing this I feel like I'm committing fraud by posting in this thread madeline-sadeline

okay random as fuck but I saw a tweet which made me think about those MySpace bulletin surveys you used to do back in the day and, being the hoarder that I am, I actually found some that I had saved as text files

and holy shit, one of the first answers slapped me in the fucking face. I won't quote it verbatim on the off-chance that someone has a pre-wipe MySpace database, but it basically reads

internalized (?) transphobia (is this overkill pls advise)

I look female and feel female, but I have a dick so I guess I'm male :P

LORD SOMEONE GO TELL THIS CHILD THAT TRANS PEOPLE EXIST screm-aaaaaaaaaaaaa

that aside, I honestly had no idea I that kind of explicit eggy sentiment that early on. Sure, it's very flippant, but like--that's a weird thing for a cis guy to say, right? Wish I'd kept a diary, but I guess MySpace surveys will have to do
