    More like slowly becoming an umbrella to shield his kids from the rain.

    One is not okay and Tycho hates it. The other is clearly okay, as he himself is writing them.

    So microfiction is like cybersex or sexting, without the sex.

    So, the joke is that the described scenario is actually happening, and he will recieve no rescue because it sounds like he's writing a bunch of bookshots, right?

    Tycho said he loves Bookshots™, but hates the word, and the idea of someone trying to trademark the novella. Bookshots™ is advertising short stories as "shots" of writing: "You know how you want to get drunk fast, so you do shots? Well we've created the same thing, but for reading!" It's the horrifying cherry on top of the age of people being proud of not reading.

    In the manner of an extended Goku montage, I need to build my writing strength so that I am prepared for the challenges ahead, which may or may not revolve around engaging in literary battles with alien lords or devil gods. That’s what I’m hoping. Optimally I’ll be able to stand in an open plain, gaze beyond the sky, and exhort them to face me.

    Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. XD

    This actually sounds like an interesting idea.
