A peak example of how my parents should be proud of what their daughter is using her liberal arts education for: In the midst of writing a report, having to stop and seriously contemplate for a second: “Do I have to explain to my boss what a high school AU is?”

#fanfiction #high school AUs #i think i might just stick with saying that it's officially sanctioned fanfiction hahaha #like i'm sure she at least knows what fanfiction is pfft #actual backstory: we got a submission that's essentially...officially sanctioned fanfiction based on a popular kids' sci-fi title #it was pubbed as a short story in the 70s first #and now the publisher was like 'let's publish this as a chapter book but with illustrations!'#but literally on edelweiss you'll take a look at the first paragraph of the summary #and there's a sentence: 'this is about x and x's first day at school! But in another galaxy!'#the first thing that went through my mind was....#'this is...this is a fucking high school AU omfgggg'#war flashbacks to all the terribly written high school AUs I have read #like don't get me wrong #high school AUs are fine #and there are some good ones out there #but most...tend not to be written as well as I'd hoped so I have pretty low standards for most #hurricanedancer #i feel like this would amuse you LOL #this also reminds me of the time in HS where one of my official assignments was to essentially write bible fanfiction #screamsss #good times #peak adulting #adulting things #truly living the dream~~~#personal
