You’re right, thanks.
I’m not sure why I keep clicking on the wrong thread to comment on the story

Not sure where the writer is going with this. I think he’s losing his mind.

Or she. Or its. Or they. Or zir. Non-binary people can lose their mind too.[1]
Sorry @Mercury, didn’t know you’re the writer. Where’d you last see your mind?
Not done studies on this, just hearsay. ↩︎

I was hinting that Nic Briggs is writing this himself

I was going to as well but then saw the follow-up and tried to be funny. Sorry, Mercury.

Hemingway often spoke about how you have to strip away at your work, cutting unnecessary words…
I wonder how he’d feel that I just made Briggs leave, then immediately return so unnecessary
He paused, let out a “for Briggs sake” and moonwalked back. He had to know for sure…

I don’t know about you, but I’m finding this story absolutely gripping.

I think it excels in it’s absurdity and in fact we’re actually making a salient point about the state of copyright

That’s the kind of multi textual storytelling I was hoping for.
Proper clever dicks aren’t we?

I’ve added a quick summary of chapter one before my post.
Hopefully this will help people jump in, without needing to read everything (though why wouldn’t you, Briggs is cooking! This is gold

I’ll have you know that the word ‘Trickler™’, in all its forms, is copyrighted, and every time you use it, you owe me!

I feel like I’ve said it before, but this new exercise has reminded me: I fully intend (at some point in the future, when I can muster the required strength and time) to write an essay on that! Doctor Who is a franchise that embodies the concept of the Death of the Author so comprehensively and on such a vast scale that, combined with its nature as a pan-generational institution, boasting contributions from creatives who themselves were and are still fans, it blurs the lines between writer and reader, creator and observer; Doctor Who is the perfect case study for the democratisation of narrative, a text that retains its identity despite changing so drastically with such frequency—it’s the Spaceship of Theseus!

What about if I actually trickle…do I still owe you then?
I’m not saying I do trickle by the way. The floodgates stand firm these days.
