Because Andy Said So

Me: Chapter 16, what do you have against Yuri? 16: I don't have anything against Yuri. I just don't want to coddle him. He might be your favorite character, but- Me: Hold on! I don't have a favorite character! That would be like having a favorite child! 16: No one's buying that. You do. It's Yuri. Move on. Me: Fine. He's my favorite. Is that why you're being so mean to him? 16: He needs to suffer for the plot. You know this. Me: I mean, a little bit of suffering, sure... 16: It's not like I killed his pets. Hmmm... Could we- Me: No. 16: Fine. The bunny dragon thingies can live. Can I go now? I need to tell 17 something.

Act II: Um... You doing alright, Andy? Me: Yeah. A little under medicated with the Adderall shortage, but hanging in there. Why do you ask? Act II: Well, you haven't checked in with me in a while. And several chapters say you didn't do exit interviews. Me: Oh! Right! (Checks notes) Me: 9, You have no content. We'll get to you in revisions. 10: Huh? I don't exist? Me: Not you, sorry. I meant the new Chapter 9. You're 10 now. 10: Okay? Me: 11, You took longer than I thought you would. That shouldn't have taken a whole chapter, but I guess it did. 11: Sorry? Me: It's alright. You're pretty solid. Now, 12... Well, that ending was certainly ominous. Well played. 12: Thanks. I was trying. Me: 13, your first scene is SO creepy! I love it. And your ending! Powerful stuff, 13. 13: Creepy is exactly what I was going for! Me: 14, nice fallout from 13. And that pizza... Sounds truly awful. Nicely done. 14: Trying to make pizza sound gross was a challenge...
