Get the Your God is those things mug.The metaphysical puzzle of individuation: What makes a "thing" a distinct, bounded object? At the quantum level, boundaries are fuzzy. At the cosmic level, everything is connected by fields and forces. Our everyday world of discrete objects (trees, cars, people) is a cognitive carving of a continuous reality. The hard problem is that "thingness" is not a fundamental property of the universe, but a useful fiction imposed by our minds. Where does a mountain end and the valley begin? At what point do the cells from your lunch become "you"? We live in a universe of processes, but we think in terms of nouns.
Example: Is a "chair" a thing? Or is it a temporary arrangement of wood molecules, soon to be kindling or dust? Its identity as a "chair" depends entirely on its function relative to a human sitter. The hard problem: The world doesn't come pre-sliced into things. We do the slicing based on our needs, language, and perception. This makes "things" profoundly relational and unstable. A physicist, an artist, and an ant would carve the same patch of reality into entirely different sets of "things." Hard Problem of Things.

A fanfiction short story from a Marvel property where the characters get pissed at the writer for producing a rapefic as the ending portrays him getting chased for doing so, it's the fanfiction counterpart to what becomes The Fandom Writer. The character A. J. Poe introduced to The House of Pain E-Zine was the Gothic Horror backlash to finding such stories.
The horror story directly cites the Chick Tract called "Doom Town" which is the most realistically drawn tracts of the era that easy drawn influence from Charles Beaumont's short story chronicling glorified heterophobia called The Crooked Man. Emerged in Dec 23, 2002 as I was active with the site AuthorsDen and ThoughtCafe at the time. Noted for the copyrighted characters breaking the fourth wall and collectively imply "Blood on the Water" as the alleged writer flees screaming for help and going "oh crap." This kind of story makes the cult horror short from 2004 have a nastier sting.

"There is this one story written by the screen name of ' MyPlague' based on a 2000s era Marvel animated property where Stan Lee might be a tad pissed."
What story is that!
"The Day All of The Things"
I think there's an original fiction horror story introduced to FictionPress.com and later to the House of Pain E-Zine as it's a guess he found this piece back then. The Fandom Writer as it was written by a cult webmaster who invaded Clive Barker's E-Zine when he was 24 with something he did at 20. The same era of this story he introduced a true story to the dark literature plethora as it's shocking how it's extremely hard with the language and a chilling candid dialog between him with a near-victim of his classmate from 7th grade homeroom. He later commented on the said piece, "They're going to kick your ass for producing a rapefic."
