#perce rambles

SF is like a mystery where the world and the history of the world is what’s mysterious, and putting that all together in your mind is as interesting as the characters and the plot, if not more interesting. We talk about worldbuilding as something the writer does, but it’s also something the reader does, building the world from the clues. When you read that the clocks were striking thirteen, you think at first that something is terribly wrong before you work out that this is a world with twenty-four hour time—and something terribly wrong. Orwell economically sends a double signal with that.

Actually okay question because I think this is a fun personality test, but my friend and I made a "laundry pact" during our fourth year of college where I would do both loads of laundry (involved carrying laundry up and down ~5 flights of stairs and changing it from the washer to the dryer - once for each of us), and she would fold both loads of laundry. We both thought we were getting the better end of the deal with this, and asking other people it's interesting to see that there doesn't seem to be a clear consensus, so I'm curious what you guys think.
