No prob! And yeah, I didn't expect to see another SP fan on here.

But you don't have to feel bad about not laughing at the same jokes as I did. Comedy is subjective, after all. And aside from that, I think we're on the same page, mostly. I agree that all good stories have to have conflict, but the conflict shouldn't feel contrived or forced. That's part of the reason why Brawl in the Family was such a trainwreck.

And I'm glad you liked The Men of the House! I'll have you know that I was pretty impressed with your latest oneshot, The Fool of April.

At first, I didn't think much of it, since I've seen the whole "Luan's pranks go too far and she gets in trouble" plot several times before. Your prose, as always, was excellent (though I noticed a couple grammatical errors), but plot-wise it didn't seem like anything new.

Then I got to the ending. The reveal that "Fool's Paradise" was just a guilt-induced nightmare from a younger Luan was absolutely chilling, and it really hammered home just how psychotic her actions in that episode were.
