Post making contest 4.0

Okay so back when I wrote this it was intended as a way to throw together a whole bunch of concepts I had for other things and write short (maybe?) self contained stories with a consistent locale and cast. Each chapter is (probably?) its own self contained story so I can tear these things apart one chapter at a time.

Right off the bat the title of the first chapter is just... you know sometimes you see those books/movies/whatever that have been constructed around a single perfect pun and its all real contrived to fit to that one title. Well the first chapter is that but the title makes no sense. It's not a clever pun, it's not even a pun. It's a fundamental misunderstanding of a popular song title. I'm more embarrassed by this than anything else I've ever written and this is just the title. It doesn't bode well.

Magnesium hydroxide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula of hydrated Mg(OH)2. It is often known as milk of magnesia, because of its milk-like appearance as a suspension.

Paper made from chemical pulps are also known as wood-free papers–not to be confused with tree-free paper; this is because they do not contain lignin, which deteriorates over time.

If the novel describes some unreal things, and you're terrified by it...

does that make it a terrific?

okay i got distracted but so far i've read maybe the first paragraph or so and it's 1) lazy exposition, 2) i guess i didn't understand just how dangerous and long lasting nuclear fallout was back when i was eighteen (23 years after a nuclear apocalypse everything should have cleared up and everything would be back to normal again right?), 2b) this observation gives an incredibly misleading idea as to what this story is going to be about, 3) teenage sex fantasy worldbuilding and i promise that this isn't that kind of story either

This is update #207.

My laptop is now running Windows 10.

Coincidentally, my final count of the number of times everything broke is also 10.

I am frankly exhausted and fed up with the concept of computers in general, so am going to spend the rest of my evening glued to this one, obviously.

Passes 1 and -1. Which is weird, honestly. I don't see any reason that should have triggered that negarule but it's just not there apparently.
Originally I said this passes 0 regular rules that was a mistake.
