Some Examples Of Why The Oxford Comma Is Generally A Good Idea

Getting real tired of this trigger happy fandom

Okay, I’ve seen a huge angry response to that one line from this week’s TJ chapter. It goes as follows:

“If fanfiction is Beau’s outlet, I’m not sure I want to know what issues he’s working through.”

I laughed at this line, because it was CLEARLY a jab at the CONTENTS of Beau’s writing, NOT ABOUT THE FACT THAT HE WAS WRITING.

Unfortunately, it seems that everyone in this fandom missed the point, and the writers for PB are being attacked.

I’m going to address a few issues here.

1) “Why doesn’t PB ever promote fanfiction?!??”

They can’t. Promoting non-canon events causes fans to wonder what counts as legitimate and what doesn’t. It also brings up legal issues like copyright and fair use. Please stop badgering the writers about this.

2) WHY WOULD THEY SAY SOMETHING SO MEAN?!

Let’s dissect the statement:

“IF fanfiction is Beau’s OUTLET, then I don’t want to know what kind of ISSUES he’s working through.”

This statement clearly refers to the way Beau uses fanfiction, not just fanfiction as a whole. He clearly has deep-seated psychological problems that cause him to write strange and violent scenarios. THIS STATEMENT WAS NOT THROWING SHADE AT FANFICTION AUTHORS.

3) “PB writers hate us because we’re COMPETITION!!1!”

Ah, yes, I’m sure that the PB workers being paid to write for you are intimidated by your 38-part Drake Walker smut fanfiction. Get real, guys. Why would the PB authors see us as “competition?” I’ve had a fanfiction written about a novella I published, and I just felt flattered.

In conclusion: STOP acting as though everything PB does is a personal attack on you, guys.

Meanwhile at the PB emergency meeting...

"WHO LEAKED THIS INFORMATION? WE WERE GOING TO CHARGE FOR THAT!"

Crack theory time.

The Endless Summer crew managed to save the World, but unbeknownst to them they ended up back in time.

So they hop onto a plane and start flying back home. But because Jake is flying they crash and die horribly.

The only thing to survive the crash unscathed is Jake’s jacket (because it got “accidentally” thrown from the plane). The jacket is blown away by the wind until it is found by a Berry High student

And that is how Micheal Harison got his signature look….

I just realized that a shower scene with Kaitlyn could be... interesting.

If all the sexy diamond scenes in The Junior don’t take place in different locations of the apartment (the shower for one) I’m going to be very disappointed..

Or did it technically declare all fanfics as canon? 🤔

pb opened up a wormhole for fanfic writers with all of these alternate timelines, new ships alternate stories varying outcomes like holy shit this site is going to write so hard that word processors everywhere will stage unpaid overtime protests

Listen here kiddo

Whoa! Amazing work as always! I love this so much!! 😍😍

Too adorable. Thank you for sharing it!

Me: -stares into the void-

The Void: write the next fucking chapter of your fanfic.

person: oh you write? are you any good?

me: yeah I guess

also me: he furrowed his brow, his brow furrowed, brow furrowing, his brow knit together, a wrinkle creased his brow, his brow browed browingly, brow—
