Someone broke into my computer and rewrote my rough draft synopsis of What We Did to Save the Kingdom so that it would sound stupid, boring, and confusing.

At least, this is a much more palatable explanation for what I'm looking at here than the other alternative I can think of.

Sigh.

Oh, has he been to your house, too?

Oh, yes. If we ever catch him, we can take turns holding him down while the other one beats him with old manuscripts.

Ista was mad at you?

No, Ista is The Helper Poodle. She is Helping right now, with her chin over my left arm.

All synopses sound stupid, boring and confusing. ("Man walks around Dublin for a day.") It's a rule.

This one more so than necessary, I'm afraid.

Well, this is why we read things rather than saying, "I remember writing a synopsis of this book! Here is a file whose title implies that it is such a synopsis! I will send it to the publishing world at large without reading it!"

Oh dear, that does seem annoying.

Your computer is probably mad at you because you were snubbing it last week.k

It's a conspiracy! They did the same thing to my NaNo novel!

Are you feeling better now, that you're up to looking at the computer?

I've been up to looking at the computer all along, just not necessarily for long stretches of time.

Have you eliminated the possibility of a malevolent AI? (I realize the results would be similar, but different security measures would be needed.)

I don't think I've made any definitive determinations of what flavor of someone we're talking about here, other than malevolent.

There is a reason I named my latest synopsis Epos. The words rearrange themselves into gibberish as soon as you take your eyes off of them.

Ah. Mine still make sense. It's just as though they hired a not-very-bright eighth grader to write it. It's barely this side of having to remove "like" twice from each sentence.

You'll fix it. It will be bright and shiny and dazzle all the agents with its brilliance. :)

The up side of it being so bad now is that it is so easy to improve it.

Asshole vandals.

I imagine the hacker was a little confused and thought this had to do with the Mariners somehow. No wonder it doesn't make sense to you now.

I promise I have very little to do with the Mariners when I can help it.
