| - This story is part three in the series of drunk stories Destructivedisk and I have recently been writing (the other two are The Ballad of Dango and Zarbon and Dodoria: A Love Story). We may make this into a collection at some point in the future, but as of writing this commentary, we don't have a name for this collection. I should also mention that I expect us to write at least one more of this kind of story, but nothing is certain. There could be way more, or perhaps no more. I don't know. Hopefully DD is be up for writing more of these things. Anyways, this story was the hardest of the three drunk one-shots to write because it was difficult to schedule times to write it. Since both DD and I had to get wasted before writing, that limited when we could write this. He also had a problem getting alcohol for a good amount of time, which prevented this story from being completed for a while. We wrote this story over four days. The first part was written on December 30, 2015 while I was over my friend's house. This made it harder to coordinate with Destructivedisk. Also, my friend (Mr. Q) wrote a bit of the story during that time, but I later deleted his contributions on January 12, 2016. I don't remember what prevented us from writing more than the first 1200 words or so, but it might've been Destructivedisk falling asleep. I really wanted to complete this story in 2015, but alas it just wasn't meant to be. The next time we wrote was on January 22, 2016. I don't remember much about this section of writing, but I think it ended like all the rest - with DD falling asleep. We were pretty productive on that day - writing another 2500 words of the story - but by the end of it, it was clear the story was not reaching its conclusion and needed at least one more day of writing to be completed. By this point, it was becoming clear how hard it would be to continue writing it, as DD mentioned that he wouldn't have access to alcohol for a good many weeks afterwards. There was discussion about just posting what existed after these two days of writing, but I thought that the story wasn't good enough in its form then, so writing some more was the only option, even if it would take many more weeks. We next got together to write on March 20, 2016. We wrote for a good hour and a half before DD fell asleep again, I think. Either way, I was very drunk during the writing of the third section (I made many more spelling errors around this time, which you will notice). But again, after we finished writing on that day, the story didn't feel like it was over. There was more left to do! Besides, we only wrote roughly 1500 words that day, so not that much progress was made. So we got together on March 24, 2016 to finally end this thing. And we banged out a lot of story that day - we wrote over 3700 words. Destructivedisk once again fell asleep when the story ended, and I would have liked him to do another few sections with me, but the story was really, really long by this point, so I was fine ending it where we did. This story was a unique experience, because it was essentially four separate stories because of the time differences between writing each section. For me, I can see "what I was into" at the time I wrote each section, with quite different references in each section and whatnot. I'll get into this more into the endnotes. For that reason, it's a pretty interesting story, though I know DD probably just thinks this is a pile of nonsense not worth analyzing.
