do you think it would be good as a pre-grilling bratwurst soak?

It’s tough to say -- I’ve never made beer brats and rarely eaten them, because I don’t normally like the taste of beer. This one is VERY much the exception to the rule and makes me wonder if I shouldn’t be trying more light craft beers. 

In my extremely limited experience, I would compare it to Dos Equis in terms of lightness and flavor; it’s extremely easy on the tongue, but it has a savory finish instead of the sweet finish Dos Equis has. Speaking theoretically I think it would probably be too light -- you want a pretty strong beer for a brat, yes? 

I really think this is more of a drinking beer -- I don’t think you’ll get that hit of mustard unless the beer is what’s touching your palate. But I DO think it would make a GREAT drinking beer to pair with brats, especially if you’re eating them with a nice mustard.

Sam, the Iglesia ni Cristo sect in the Philippines has very strict tithing and a huge budget for chapel maintenance because they believe that when the time comes they will all get in the church and the building itself will literally rise up to heaven with them in it

Oh neat! I mean. Kinda culty sounding so maybe not neat, but conceptually neat. And I suppose they’re employing a lot of construction workers, so there’s that. :D

I did not get the alien part. Just an eldrich, but earthborn, diety.

I mean, it’s not really vital to the story whether it is or isn’t alien, so I kind of leave that up to the reader :D

H-‘Andy’ Solo? because you only got one?

As someone who has a large collection of fountain pens, cards and many different kinds of paper, I raise a glass to you. Also, a trove of Crane and Co paper is something to trumpet from the rooftops ok

spam?? the fact that you were inspired enough to make art is basically the PINNACLE OF HAPPINESS for me as a fic writer, so never apologise for it.

Oh wise @copperbadge -- What are your thoughts about rewriting old stories, in terms of posting them? Do you leave the original as-is and post a new version? Maybe as a transformative work of the original? Or do you edit the original (possibly upsetting people who may love every word)? Thoughts?   Thanks!

I haven’t done a ton of extensive rewrites, and usually if I did it was on a WIP. I kind of feel like once a fic is finished, it’s okay to let it go. Especially if someone has podficced it, I’m reluctant to alter it, because then the podficcer has to deal with that or not, as the case may be.

On the rare occasions I’ve done significant overhaul, usually I’ve posted the revised verison to AO3 with notes saying “Here are some changes I made”. If I were going to keep both up, I’d probably rename the first one as “Old Draft” and the new one as “Revised version”, the same way they do with textbooks.

Sam this is SO GOOD. Your Remus and Sirius are my favourite because they are ADULTS, not aged-up Marauders, and they may be mischievous and impulsive but they think and they care so, so much. Can’t wait to see what you do with one of my all time favourite fics

Thanks! That’s actually a huge part of a discussion they have right before Dumbledore arrives -- Sirius is like “He’s expecting me to shout and you to be the obedient prefect, but he hasn’t seen us in about seven years and we’ve both done some growing-up. Let’s use that.”

Where can I find the whole fic? This is awesome

The rewrite isn’t available yet, and won’t be for some time, but the initial fic it’s derived from is available here: Stealing Harry

I am SO EXCITED. This was the fic that led to us first speaking, lo those many moons ago, and I was always sad that you didn't finish it - but I also really understood why, given everything that happened in canon.

people who say drop bears aren't real also want you to go for strolls through bush land. Coincidence? I THINK NOT.

It’s true what they say: everything in Australia is trying to kill you, including Australians.

I mean they say jackalopes arent real too, but we know better.

Yeah, but we have to say jackalopes aren’t real to keep hunters from tracking them. Same strategy, opposite goals! If the jackalope isn’t real, is there any point in bringing a rifle to New Mexico?

I think my favourite thing about all this is that someone called you ‘samuel copperbadge storyteller’ like they were your 40s Brooklyn mom <33333

re. unrecognisably flattering: as someone who keeps trying to master the art of that man’s face but still hasn’t succeeded - maybe they couldn’t unlock the mysteries either? we should all study at wobblycompetencies’ feet

Tan Twan Eng sounds amazing! I’d just heard of him; my friend recommended The Garden of Evening Mists but I might want to read this instead, the way I picked The Intuitionist over Underground Railroad.
