now I'm wondering about writing the story where the editor itself is an AI, which would neatly solve the problem of the editor being clueless in that particular human-emotional-subtext way.
Now THAT actually sounds really cool!
The editor doesn't work for me in "STET". The author -- I could find her plausible, but I feel like I'm supposed to also find her in the right in this exchange, and, like, no. I mean, obviously I sympathize, given the tragedy (as a parent, moreover), but the particular choice of tragedy just feels both implausible and emotionally manipulative, so I can't even fully do that.
