  Speaker 3: there with their cases, there was so much there's so
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: every single woman is holding a question in her hands

• 14:59
  Speaker 7: Stupid, But also is working. It's working.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: So yeah. So I've done a lot of Harry Potter
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: and like I do some of the sexual stuff, but
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: I also do some of like the heartbreaking tender other stories.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: I like to think about the other stories you didn't
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: hear from Hogwarts. Yeah, yes, forgotten the forgotten stories. And
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: I've recently actually switched to I've been sampling out some
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: fanfic with the people that live in my building. Oh
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: oh oh, it's awesome for me. I found the readers
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: have a lot of questions like who is this person?
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: What are they? And so like a lot of it
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: is right now. I've realized parentheses are my best friend,
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: because I'll do Derek. He lives parentheses, he lives in
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: room three oh one, he's got a dog, he's got
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: a cat, his wife just left him, and so like
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: that will just paint the picture for my person. And
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: people are saying, this is not fanfic, this is thick.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: I think it's amazing the way people use parentheses.
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: How do you guys use them? I use them to
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: disclose the secret that nobody else in the room knows.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: I love that you can give us a reading.
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so it's like George Costanza parentheses wearing women's underwear
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: into the restaurant, and.
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: So that's really bad.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: I only do parentheses for if someone's winking.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: What do you mean parentheses? Winking?
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like snow white parentheses. She winked.
• 16:24
  Speaker 7: Do you believable?
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: She waked, She wakes.
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: It's almost like I'm at a coffee table nearby and
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: I going to my friend.
• 16:37
  Speaker 7: She winked, She winked. It's a little secret.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: She winked, she winked.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: What situation to your fan?
• 16:46
  Speaker 8: Is sleeping beauty sometimes when they're about to like going
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: in the bunker because there's missiles flying everywhere, and she's like.
• 16:56
  Speaker 7: It is it sleep?
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: Because she's just the one that's sleeping. It is it?
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: Like why that also was sleeping?
• 17:07
  Speaker 7: She was also eating.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: She's eating an apple.
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: She's mostly eating for the story, yes, but there is
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: a part where she's sleeping, but most of it she's eating.
• 17:14
  Speaker 8: I have a fanfic where she's eating an apple with
• 17:16
  Speaker 8: one hand and the other hand loading a cannon, right,
• 17:19
  Speaker 8: And I.
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: Love to use the dwarves as like part of the militia. Militia.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: Yes, parentheses are tough for me because I.
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: Can imagine just trying.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: To look like math, because I'll use the parentheses to
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: say what's in their case, but then their name is
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: the number of the case.
• 17:40
  Speaker 7: It looks like parentheses looks like.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: Jokes.
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: The hair of seventeen fifty thousand dollars.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Yes, you know what's funny.
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: I sometimes I look at the comments of yours and
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: they go, I solved it.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: And you're like, oh, this wasn't a math problem.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Co peticians are all in your comments.
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: They already hate to see your fanly coming.
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: Focus.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: Mathematicians hate her sending me numbers and I and it
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: drives them mad. And it drives them crazy because I
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: don't have the answer to the question, because this is
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: math I can't do.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: But you also do a fun thing where you're always
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: asking what the audience, what do you think the banker
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: is going to offer them? And so they are kind
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: of doing math because you are going like, oh X
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: has this much, this is what's left. You kind of
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: have to figure it's like such a fun well I
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: feel like.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: I read about you in an article. It was when
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: it was coming out that Megan Markle used to be
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: a dealer no Deal person, and then they were referring
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: to you because you happen to be a Dealer no
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Deal of the phanfic writer and it was like a
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: picture of you looking like like and it said like
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: mathematicians hate to see her coming.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, they hate to see me coming. And they
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: hate to see me coming, if you know what I mean.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: That's what I.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: Come weird.
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: But uh, it's it's it's really the numbers.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: People are so so into it and they they they
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: need something that I can't give them. Sometimes they'll come
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: to my house and they'll because.
• 19:08
  Speaker 7: They want to know the answer.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: For them, sex is about knowing the answer. And for me,
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: what is hot about dealer no Deal is the not knowing.
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: Okay, Margaret, I completely relate to this because for my
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: parenthetical use, I use it for ages. I go, I go,
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: you know what?
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: You know? What's an example Tommy Pickles seventy.
• 19:31
  Speaker 7: Eight, Yes, you know, And occasionally.
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: As I'm writing, if the story is long, enough, his
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: birthday would have passed, so it'll change seventy nine. But
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: if his birthday wasn't important to them this year, I'm
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: not going to write a chapter just about his birthday
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: because it happened. But people, then I get in the
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: comments going when is Tommy Pickles's birthday? I'm like, I'm
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: not gonna that's private.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're trading apart your.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: Comments, your paragraph structure, trying to dissect when exactly his
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: birthday was.
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: And that's all what this is about.
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: That's not what it's about. It's about him and Angelica
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: going to a pond and accidentally killing a duck.
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: People don't realize this, but asking someone's birthday is a
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: hippo violation.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: If we all remember, we were.
• 20:11
  Speaker 7: Born medical information, we're.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: Born in a medical procedure.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Medical that nowaday and that's but that's a hippo violation.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: On my mom.
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm going, you.
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: Should not know your own birthday if we're really being technical,
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: because that's.
• 20:28
  Speaker 7: That's my mother's information.
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: Do I tell you the day I had all of
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: my surgeries?
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: No?
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: No, never thought of it that way.
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: That is why you're amazing, That is why, that is
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: why that's that's amazing.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: That's is why, that's why you're amazing.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: I want to just mention to it.
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: Just what I love about your parentheses is how load
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: bearing they are from the story later it changes everything.
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: You have the most load bearing parentheses, because some.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: Of your stories would appear that because not everything happens
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: at a nursing home. Sometimes you know they're going to
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: McDonald's or whatever, and so it just appears that it's
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: a normal story with the normal ages of Cayu. But
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: only when you see the Kayu is ninety do you realize, No,
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: he changes doing different changes.
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: If he's at a playground and you think, well, that's
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: just regular Kyu at a playground, I'm not interested. But
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: then I have to be like, he's ninety seven and
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: it's unusual that he's at playground.
• 21:19
  Speaker 7: Off something's all.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: The piece about Gypsy Rose Blanchard, Yeah, replacement.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just and I'm fifteen. I was I was so
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: fun that you wrote fanfic about Gypsy Reslan Listen.
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: Okay. If I'm a fan of anything, I'm a fan
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: of getting what's yours? Okay, Yeah, I'm a fan of
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: girl queens.
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: Bosses me to you. I love girls with guns.
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: Can I just say you're actually notorious because you had
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: one of the wildest ships that anyone's ever seen, because
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: you have this thing about the character's nursing home, where
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: you have this series that I come back to every
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: now and then, where you all the greatest characters we've
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: all ever known end up in the same nursing home,
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: neglected by their kids, so they end up kind of
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: meeting and having romantic affairs.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: And you had a really controversial ship.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: So I took Arthur Reid from the Arthur series aged up, yes,
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: eighty two.
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: Uh year, that's hot.
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah cool, nice, nice grew out And I don't know why,
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: but people don't think that Poe from Teletubbies can kind
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: of age. So they found it disgusting. They're like, he's
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: dating a child. I'm like, first of all, Teletubbies are
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: not children. They're little monsters.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: They're monsters.
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: They're literally monsters.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: And monsters have no age. Also, that's a hip hop violation.
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: So I had Arthur and Poe. They met in their
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: retirement community. They were playing Canasta. Poe wins. Obviously, Arthur
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: starts crying because none of his kids visit him. Anymore
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: because he was emotionally abusive. So he goes to his room.
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: Obviously obviously obviously he goes to his room. He calls
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: e W doesn't call him back, and Poe comes and
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: knocks on the door, and it's like a real man
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: wouldn't care if a beautiful woman beat him in Canasta,
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: woman impose a woman. People didn't like that either. The
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: gender police came at my door. They said, Poe is
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: not a woman. Those police, I said, is literally a monster,
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: is a monster monster, Poe is a mon, literally a monster.
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: And so then Arthur starts having a heart attack and
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: Poe used to be a nurse, so I have Poe
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: resuscitate him back to life. People people were like, that's
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: like a baby giving a kiss to an artwork. And
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: I was like, no, it's not okay.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Mouth to mouth sounds like a procedure.
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: It's literally.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: Mouth to mouth.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: There's a hip violatory in theory.
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: I shouldn't even be telling people about this story because
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: it's all a hip of violation to these two characters.
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: But I did it anyway. But that's fan fi and
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: that's fan thic. Also, Poe is literally ninety. It was
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: supposed to be a story about an age gap. An
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: eighty seven year old man dating a nine year old
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: woman is literally controversial, So I get it.
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry people, I'm so sick of the angry comments
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: because you come to the fucked up story about a
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: pre existing story store and you don't want to hear
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: a fucked up story literally and exactly.
• 24:31
  Speaker 7: Oh you want to draw the line here, This.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: Is where you're gonna call me out.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: What You're gonna call me out for being weird about
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: a story that doln't exists.
• 24:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah, welcome new store, story store. Okay, why did you
• 24:44
  Speaker 7: come here if you don't want to littery?
• 24:45
  Speaker 8: You want sex that feels weird because it's monsters, aile tude.
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you don't want Poe to have an abortion?
• 24:51
  Speaker 7: Read a book. Read a book, Read a book that
• 24:54
  Speaker 7: in a regular book.
• 24:55
  Speaker 8: You're just going to Barnes and Noble, the non fucked

• 25:07
  Speaker 6: Cannon, but you know what they call those things cannon
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: because they blow, they blow.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Speaking of that, Yeah, you think it's fucked up that
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: I wrote a story where Stitch kills himself with a cannon.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Didn't it was? It was murder suicide?
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and I honestly they go to the normal story
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: to do it.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: It was right to do it.
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: I will say that was very graphic, putting his head
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: next and then loading the cannon.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: I can't write whatever I want now, knowing that you're fifteen,
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: those that the level of chilence you were capable of
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: imagining was beyond anything.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Well, aren't you happy I'm writing instead of doing it?
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: That's yes? Oh my god, everything's going together in a
• 25:52

  Speaker 3: with which we will come. If that ratio is an
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: odd number, it's men first. If it's even, it's women.
