Summary
A short piece on Clark Kent, effective altruist. This is either incomplete or complete but open-ended, and either way, I don't intend to add more to it, though I'm sure I could if I had a gun pressed to my head. This has been sitting in my drafts folder for a long time, and after reading it over a few times, I haven't found any sufficiently satisfactory conclusion to it, in part because the central question appears to me to be unsolvable. Apologies for any misrepresentation of effective altruism, Superman canon, basic science, or economics.

Summary
A short one-off with original characters examining some of what I found interesting about the end of season one in terms of politics, including some stuff/takes I wish were within the work itself. Written a while ago, cleaned up and finished at date of publication.

Worth the Candle: A Brief Description of Aerb by Alexander Wales (cthulhuraejepsen), cthulhuraejepsen
Fandoms: Original Work

Summary
This document gives a brief overview of Aerb (the primary setting of Worth the Candle) and its connected planes, based on what is known to the people of Aerb at large, with occasional notes from Juniper Smith and Amaryllis Penndraig. Information should not be taken as necessarily correct, only correct within the common understanding of the situation on Aerb. Information is also, of necessity, incomplete, mostly hitting the highlights and the top 20% of information that should give you 80% of an understanding of what the world is like.
Contains mild spoilers for Worth the Candle, but nothing much beyond the first book (which ends at chapter 14). There are setting spoilers, and at least some repetition of things already in the text.

Summary
Written for /r/WritingPrompts, "[WP] The rules of who goes to heaven and hell are clear, definite, and inarguable. You are an afterlife lawyer, who helps people figure out if their potentially sinful plans are technically allowed by the rules." Could probably have been a better short story with more work, posted here for posterity.
