{Utopia} cthulhuburger
Cthulhuburger is a better ficleteer than me. I am always surprised to see how many helpful and constructive comments he leaves around the site. He is prepared to call bullshit when he sees it, but he also gives credit where it is due. His stories range from silly to poignant, but always have an undercurrent of deep wit.
Perhaps the thing I respect most about cthulhuburger’s writing is that his characters have multiple facets. There are no purely good or evil characters in his stories (except maybe Mecha-Hitler). They all have depth that makes their struggles all the more tangible.
I tip my top hat to him any day, and I keep a firm pinkyless grasp on my teacup with the other hand.
