My entry for the 013 contest. Let's do thissss.

Special thanks to the OGs: ieatcrepes, Dummie, Minuteman, and Tarbs for their insightful feedback.

Crit thread is here.

The first image comes from this online shop here and I actually reached out to the dude who makes/sells the little pumpkin stress balls and asked him if I could use his photo for my article. He was totally cool with it, so long as I give credit. Photo is not mine, all credit goes to Ethan Ray. 🤘

The second image base was taken from Google's CC search feature and falls under fair use.

you actually used local files AAAA thank you

I greatly enjoyed the Amazing! Co appearances. They were super fun to read every time I did.

However, the incident reports just don't particularly interest me. I don't find anything quite wrong with them that I would change or correct, but they don't give me specifically a fun read. I think I would've found it more fun if the incidents were not a clear result of anomalous properties but more the Authority being paranoid after reading the advertisement and Thank You letter, but that's just saying how I would've written it rather than actually useful critique.

It wouldn't feel honest to up/downvote this article without a clear reasoning as to why, so I'll settle for a neutral for now. This is still a very competently written article that will do [and is already doing] well in the contest.

Fairly simple and lacking in content, but deserving of a plus due to staying on-theme with the contest topic and humor.
