liberateourtime is yelled at for being straight:

padparadscha discusses her latest idea for a short story:

Actually, it's a somewhat serious story about an alien coming to terms with the death of a loved one, the circumstances of which raise some tough ethical questions about nature versus technology and our responsibility toward the life around us. He grows to understand how in all things, the good is mixed with the bad.
