I have managed to write 150 words since last Thursday.
Partly due to low energy, but: was working on a villain monologue, then looked at the news and was struck by a weary sense of futility. My most over-the-top manic fictional villain is boringly pedestrian compared to (gesticulates at real world).
We're living in a Marvel or DC comics spin-off universe where the supervillains won, 30% of the population support them, 30% are horrified but helpless, and 40% care more about the price of eggs.
@cstross If you find the gateway to the correct timeline, please let us know. This timeline is the evil one, and I've just shaved off my goatee.
