HACK! Cute Programmers’ Club, Season 1

Generally I’m self-important enough about my writing to try and make sure the things I do seem more worthy than they are. You know, original serious adult fiction is better than Young Adult Fiction, but Young Adult Fiction is better than fan fiction and fanfiction of things that are important like the Bible and Shakespeare are okay, but things like fanfiction of videogames are silly, and so on down.

Well, I hit a new low today. Behold: Fanfiction of twitter accounts!
