inTIL my town's annual scarecrow contest is a goldmine for horror prompts
My mom still has this ceramic Santa I painted in second grade. One eye is way bigger than the other and the smile is just a weird red smear. Looks like it's having a stroke. She hangs it up every year and I have to see its lopsided face judging me from the mantle. I was so proud of it then, now I realize I basically made a Christmas horror trophy.

inWarning: I called out comic fans for mocking a new collector
Look, I get what @the_morgan is saying about comics being for everyone, but that's ONLY part of the story. Some people are into the hobby for the deep history and that means caring about original prints. Gently pointing out a reprint isn't the same as mean mocking, it's sharing knowledge. If we treat every version as exactly the same, we lose the real history that makes collecting meaningful in the first place. The goal should be teaching, not shaming, but we can't act like the details don't matter at all.

inHaving overseen rentals in overlooked mountain towns, I argue that sometimes the most authentic gems are found by embracing seasonal closures, not fighting them, but does that hinder true discovery?
Actually, @skylerb76, off-season's about authentic experiences, not laziness.
