Greetings, reader! It is I again, Fluffy McGiggles, Melodramatic Actress Extraordinaire.

As demonstrated by that overly flowery introduction sentence.

Today, I bring a tale of woe to you about writing. For you see, readers, there exists out there an evil character masquerading as good. She sneaks upon you unexpectedly, and corrupts whatever writing she manages to infiltrate. She is… the Mary Sue.

What, you ask, is the Mary Sue? Well, she is the “perfect” character. As in, she literally has no flaws. Any “flaws” that she has would, in other characters (or in real life people) be considered virtues. This list of “flaws only a protagonist could have” essentially summarizes the Mary Sue set of character flaws. The list is quite amusing, also.

Alas, I fear that there will always be Mary Sues in works of writing, especially as teenage girls are now capable of posting their works of written fiction online. However, I hope that some will avoid them.

If you have encountered a Mary Sue, I give you my sincerest sympathy, and hope that you have managed to escape relatively unscathed.

I now wish you a joyous Wednesday.

Greetings, readers! I bid thee a joyous Tuesday.

I recently encountered this amusing tale about a company problem.

It involves a multi-million dollar decision from a CEO and a solution that may or may not be expected by some people.

I encourage you to read it.

I hope you enjoy.

Greetings, readers! I wish you a joyous beginning to your week.

I recently came across a story again that I did not realize I had not already shared with you.

I am going to ignore that, especially as the sentence is not particularly relevant.

For you see, the relevant point is that I encountered an amusing story that I wish to share with you. It is a story of a Gazebo.

I am going to provide some background for you first, however. Just in case you are not aware, a gazebo is basically an outdoor, house-like structure. (Wikipedia provides a more in depth explanation.)

Next, if you are not aware of what a role play game is, you might want to read this Wikipedia article that describes Dungeons and Dragons.

Now, you are ready. There is a legend about a dread Gazebo. It is a worthy tale, and very much worth reading.

I hope you have an excellent week.

Greetings, readers!

I had a idea a while ago, and I am now writing it down. How would it work to have a three-person game of chess?

Here is how it would work: You would have three people playing, alternating which color they play each turn. The first person, let us call it person A, would start, with white. Person B would continue with black. Person C would then play as white. Person A would go back to black.

That particular method would completely change the strategy of the game.

If anyone tries this version, please let me know.

Greetings, readers! I hope your Monday is starting well.

A reader recently submitted an interesting article. It is an article that includes a rather remarkable graph- which country has a GDP comparable to particular states of the union. It is worth investigating.

I hope your week goes well.
