When I was in my 20’s and desperately trying to get into print, I wrote a story about a war-ragged citizen in a long-abandoned Sim City town/file named “Asshole_1.” The editor I pitched threw it back at me fast enough to ignite. ⬇️

I’m mad in retrospect because the idea was just ahead of its time! It’d be a multimedia hit by now!
OK not really. But I did have a hard time finding a place in traditional print. People wanted stories about aborted babies haunting boyfriends who forced abortions on their gf’s. That wasn’t my bag.⬇️
This kinda reminds me too, a bit, about how Mandi (MMHP Mandi) told me back when I was e-mailing her on the daily, that Capcom had approached her to write books about Mega Man, but when she found out she couldn't use the Captain N cast (that she always used), she refused.
Should've made it an isekai titled "Shoo Flee! I Was Reincarnated As A Sim And Now I Must Defeat The Aborted Babies of Everyone In My Harem And My House Has No Toilet!"
