If writing fiction were a permissible activity, this blog would be purely fictional. But because the Public Communications Bureau has so wisely ruled that the writing of fiction is not permitted without a license, we must stick to the facts. More exactly, the writing of unlicensed fiction is subject to essentially the same penalties as unapproved writings of any kind: the destruction and purging of all disapproved content, and for the incorrigible sowers of dissent, fines, ejection from access to network services, confiscation of homes and other assets, compulsory re-education; perhaps a late night, no-knock visit by well-armed gang of costumed men accompanied by a considerable risk of a hail of bullets or death by Taser, a tortuous interrogation ending in a tragic death, or some other unnatural fate. This being what it is, the Board always navigates that undiscernable line between fact masquerading as fiction, and fiction masquerading as fact. Read at your own risk, and let not your mind be darkened.
