Only circulated in back rooms of monumentally compartmentalized quasi-governmental entities as part of a didactic shitpost on infosec used to induct a particular clearance level. Heavily redacted versions have appeared in various literary journals as cut ups by prospective recruits. Friendly advice: don’t post to tapir threads

I've written one every year since 2013. It's really enjoyable to go back after a few years have passed and read them again, that's actually the only reason I write them. Just so I can go back and read them. Same thing with music, which admittedly I'm significantly better at.

If you actually spend all your free time writing, as in literally all your free time, not some meme, "I write for a living and spend 40-50 hours a week writing" then you'll bang shit out at a remarkable rate. Basically, just be autistic and you'll be incredibly productive.
