Having a work wife/husband is completely acceptable, even if you're already in a relationship in c/[email protected]

First of all, I never heard it anywhere I worked, so it sounds weird because I'm just not used to it.

But why would OP say this term is to be used for coworkers that have the genders they're attracted to? That's what's making it weird to me if it's platonic. Like couldn't two hetero same-sex work friends use to it too? Like two straight men or straight women be work husbands or work wives respectively?

[META] Should this community function like the subreddit r/changemyview? in c/[email protected]

I actually really like this idea, but the mods aren't practically non-existent on this community. I think only the way they'd see this post is if someone reports it.

Edit: oops, I forgot that I think you can tag people, but I'm not sure because never tag anyone

I was pointing out that the two fandoms are actually connected by some actors because the person I was responding to seemed to be unaware.

Maybe no one does this, but I've looked at character pages and clicked on actors' pages if I liked them and wanted to see what other work they've done.

Yeah, times are kinda rough right now

I recommend [email protected] but it's not super active, about a post a day

I guess you don't have to get it. I just mentioned that site as an example because it is kind of garbage, but it's useful for fans.

And the federation between fandoms would be like how different articles are connected on Wikipedia. For example, there are actors that had roles both in the Star Trek universe and the Star Wars universe.

I can definitely see it being a better alternative to that Fandom wiki site

What's a good book that unfolds over a short time in-story? No spoilers, thanks. in c/[email protected]

Ulysses by James Joyce takes place in a day... 🫠

~~Also, A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens takes place in one night~~

Oops, I forgot you said: I'd like to avoid "and it was all a dream", time travel, or similar plot devices if possible

Wow, it's really hard to think of books that only take place in a few hours. The only ones I can think of take place over the course of a day. Yeah, I guess reading plays would be your best bet
