So, I’ll probably do whatever I want anyways.

Is the POV character in Dirtbag Dyke a post-op trans woman?

Yes, obviously, this fits the narrative

Yes, of course, i(reader) am trans and would like the additional representstion

Sure, whatever, write more smut for us

No, she should remain a cis woman per your original intention

Frank made it onto the AP Reader's Poll list for best Eyeball Records Band, twice!

Alt Press put out the results of their latest reader's poll where they asked fans to choose the Best Eyeball Records bands. My Chemical Romance topped the list, (not surprising) but Pencey Prep made it as well! Now, is that because one of your mods here went on a mission to make sure they got at least an honorable mention on both the AP Instagram and Twitter accounts? Well who can say really...

I'll go to my actual grave saying that Alex Eyeball was so so wrong about that band.

For both writers and readers, if you have a story where someone has faked their own death and the main character has no idea, would you rather learn they're alive when the main character does about halfway through? Or would you prefer to learn they're alive earlier and see scenes from their point of view?

I would to learn about the faked death when the main character does

I would to learn about the faked death BEFORE the main character does

I have no preference

It depends entirely on the specific context
