[Suzerain of Sheol]

We're well into the dissolution of creative media now, Quiet. The cross-contamination of the audience with the author's work has rendered plagiarized, bastardized, self-insert fan-fiction drivel more common than actual literature by orders of magnitude. Never underestimate the power of globalized intercommunication to render sordid the auspices of what was once art(1). By sheer statistics, it's indeed noteworthy that one has expended the intellectual energy to make a character of their own imagining, rather than imposing a cocktail of fetishes onto some hapless published figure in an abortion of creative thought.



1. I do not in any way concede the self-affirming value of art.
