Yup, and a humble one too. He actually cleans the shitters, unlike the other one who talks about seniority or some shit idgaf about.

theres nothing wrong with being a janitor theres just a lot wrong with packard

I don't think so either. It's just that Packard says he doesn't have to clean the toilets because he's a senior janitor. I'm a manager, yet I still sometimes clean the toilets. I just find it funny.

You came on too strong.  Ghosty needs a gentler touch.

Well, ghostrek's prose is . . . different. It reminds me of works translated from foreign languages. Certain nuances are lost in translation, and the translator has to work around that. In a sense, the translated work becomes an original piece by the translator. If I were to edit to ghostrek's work, I would think the same concept applies. ghostrek also said he has trouble reading paragraphs longer than three sentences, if I recall correctly. It makes me think the current screenplay-esque style of his fanfic is his way of working around that.

I'm probably putting too much thought into this, but I really have thought about editing his fanfics seriously.

Never thought this would be the place for serious discussion on editing...

Ghostrek is what he is, and there's no getting around the fact that just making the story understandable means adding words and reordering phrases.  Something like that is difficult enough because an editor's job has always been to do the bare minimum cutting and to never add content.  For someone who has dyslexia (which I believe Ghostrek has said he does) longer sentences are a problem, and the truncated screenplay type delivery is integral not just to him expressing himself but also him understanding the world around him.

Hold on I am looking for that gif where I pull down my pants and insert the LWC into your mouth. 

I appreciate the gesture. This piece of shit thread is responsible for one of the threads in DF, so it might as well be sent there.
