Alignment is about making sure your car's wheels are pointing in the right direction. If they're off, it can cause uneven tire wear and make your car harder to steer.

Do you guys want to guess how many words are in the first 28 chapters of the fanfic?

And archive of our own, is that the place where you're reading this?

This is so fun.

You decide, oh, it'd be fun, maybe let's have a reading break, and have Franklin read

to us.

Well, we'll all take turns reading from Proust, aloud to each other.

I keep hoping that maybe I'm in the first 20 minutes of Jean-Dylan 23 commerce, or whatever,

and at the end of each section, maybe something interesting will happen.

Alignments are kind of one of my things where it's like, I will pay someone to do an alignment

because they have an alignment machine, and I have strings and paper plates, and it sucks

when I do it.

Yeah, I've seen people do the string stuff, and I always just think, does that actually,

that can't be good enough.

Is that actual string involved?

Oh yeah, there's string, rulers, paper plates.

We hit 228 in September, and so I had to read 28 chapters of this 6 million word fanfic, which

I am now going to summarize to some extent for the fellas.

I mean, thank God it was 28 chapters exactly, because at the end of chapter 28, they did

kiss.

Wait, who kissed?

Mark Webber and Seb Vettel.

Which is fine, good for them.
