    1. Hey, I enjoyed this. A fine illustration of how things that are supposed to be AWESOME turn out to be disappointingly meh. Too much hype for a particular experience can often deaden whatever magic might have been there.

      Linking the acquisition of the disappointing life experience that “not every orgasm curls the toes” with the trivial “pleasure” of earning a social media badge is a fine piece of narrative inspiration if you ask me.Report

      1. @burt-likko I assumed he meant he’d never see Sherwood Forest without SureWood Forest replacing it. Ie, brain cells, hijacked. But that could just be because I had the same experience.

        (I also enjoyed the piece.)Report

        1. I might also be overreacting to a memory of someone being grumpy about us publishing fiction at all. This piece was clearly marked with a “FICTION” tag so hopefully that experience won’t be repeated.Report

          1. Maribou has read me correctly. I am not grumpy about the piece being published. I am merely observing that I am never again going to be able to read the word “Sherwood” without thinking of … other things.Report

              1. no, I appreciate it, because I read the comment the same way you did and I would have never known otherwise if you hadn’t posted.

                Thanks for reading, everyone.Report

  1. It’s a smaller thing to notice, but the saga of the protagonist’s obsession with Miranda’s impressive chest was a very well executed element IMO.Report
