  Let me put it in words of one syllable for you, since you’re desperately reaching for any goalpost you can find to shift: I don’t know who you think you’re talking to, but it isn’t anyone who’s replied to you on this thread.

  Heavens, it’s lucky we have people as smart as you to put the rest of us in our place. That guy has told you repeatedly, for instance, that he’s not American and views “Trump voter” as an insult. And yet you persist in accusing him of being an American Trump voter, while jerking it to the sound of your own voice - surely the act of someone a cut above the common herd, who’s not a self-important asswipe at all.

  She has accused him of both rape and of grooming her. What on earth do you think her punching him in the stomach while he forcibly deep throated her was supposed to be?

  This has been highlighted in the news coverage.

  Both child grooming and emotional and sexual assault are illegal in the UK, bizarre as this may seem to you.

  I mean, I’d never use Notepad. Download Notepad++, it’s better in literally every way.

  Doesn’t have formatting, unless Notepad has got really adventurous at some point in the last decade or two.

  Slightly annoyed about this, as I do use Wordpad (it’s lightweight and useful for quick notes that I want to mark up with bold and italic). I don’t always want to watch Word or Libreoffice load for twenty to thirty seconds.

  Shitty decision, happy to be Wordpad’s one fan.

  Wasn’t the issue with this one that money was changing hands in exchange for a printed, physical book? Like, I know the team wasn’t making money, but it’s understood in fanfic circles that this is a Bad Idea and this was a very high profile (and, sadly, professional-looking) project.

  The work is now on AO3 alongside countless other Star Trek fanfics that exist with no trouble. If they’d done that all along, I suspect there would never have been an issue.

  I couldn’t finish it. Really dreadful.
