With this story, context is especially important. It was the first story I ever wrote on the Octopus Garden account, and I wanted that to be believable. So, I decided to make a story that would be decent, but not particularly good either. From this, A Konatsian Family Reunion was born.

| - With this story, context is especially important. It was the first story I ever wrote on the Octopus Garden account, and I wanted that to be believable. So, I decided to make a story that would be decent, but not particularly good either. From this, A Konatsian Family Reunion was born. The story is basically just a parody of how bad most writers are at creating a culture. As KidVegeta astutely noted, Tapion's culture is just Earth culture with meth involved. This was intentional. The problem that many writers have when crafting a new planet or culture is making it different from Earth culture. This story was making fun of how bad that could get. This story was written while I was at my Dad's house. It's one of my shortest stories, and was written pretty suddenly without much forethought at all. The story was entered into the July 2012 Short Story Contest, making it my first entirely new story in just under a year. It was written almost one year after Semi-Charmed, my last Short Story contest entry. As with Semi-Charmed, it did not win the tournament, a huge blow to my ego to this day.
