As I understand it, cyberlocks (or cyberlox) are plastic or foam or rubber dreads, not hair. So it doesn't contradict the blond hair wish.

Thanks for adding these episodes to this story. I look forward to more.

Perhaps. But also take into consideration that Mikey is adopted in this storyline. Jon is the only one biologically related to his grandfather. I don't know if that makes a difference.

Yes, they're dating, as usual, but as Biff transforms, their relationship would probably change, in some way.

Well, they stay themselves, but they'd have to exist with five other families that are just like them, either for better or worse.

Keep going with this one. I'd like to see where it goes.

I'm changing Linda's husband's name from Roger to James, to make it less confusing with Laura Ferguson's husband, which is also Roger.

Fun fact - 19 years ago, I (as Anonymous51) posted my first episode ever (for any website) on this day - May 19th. Who could have known that back in 2004, I'd not only be still writing episodes in 2023, but that I would amass over 15,000 episodes over several websites?

It's only been twice so far, but I'd say bad luck?

I've got to be honest - until last night, I had no idea what a "Karen" was. It's kind of a funny weird story there. I saw that you posted this episode, but I didn't have a chance to read it, because I was heading into work. At work, a co-worker just happened to mention that someone was a "Karen" and I recalled back to this episode, that I hadn't read yet. She explained what it meant, finding it astonishing that I hadn't heard of it before. I just thought it was a weird coincidence that she was talking about something that had to do with your episode, without me even saying anything about it. I occasionally do talk about some of my stories to my co-workers, but I get the idea that they aren't too interested. They're far more interested in discussing whatever video game they're currently playing.

SimCity is one of my favorite games.

This must have been back when I used pictures instead of descriptions. And now the pictures are gone, so no one (not even me - 2005 was a LONG time ago) knows how these characters look, now that they've become gothic versions of themselves. Oh well.

Yeah, because becoming a girl is a horrible fate.

I just realized a potential dilemma for Jon. I'm not sure how it could be put into the storyline, but if Jon is fully-encased in latex, then he can't use the stone. Because he has to be able to touch the stone to use it. Of course, it wouldn't be a problem if he could somehow take the latex off, but what if he can't, for some reason?

I'm just trying to point out that the way Jon dealt with the situation is completely out of character for him. Is he now going to make more wishes like that, to other people, some of which have done worse, like actually committing murder? If you want to go down that road, I'm not going to stop you (well, actually I can't, since I have no control over other people's episodes), but don't expect me to just go along with it, unless there's a good explanation for why Jon is suddenly acting that way.

As to your first comment - What? Where did you get that Cecil is a violent person? A pervert, sure. Someone without morals, okay. But he never tried to harm or kill anyone. Yes, he told Karyn to knock Jon out, but he never told her HOW. That was left up to her. Mutilating someone so grotesquely for doing what Cecil did? Maybe YOU'RE the one who's being inserted into the story, wanting to get revenge through words on the person who did something like that to YOU. Jon doesn't have a sick mind like that. At least not in any of the other countless stories that I've either written or read on the site. And dropping notes into a well? I'm pretty sure that's not how wishing wells work, or how they're supposed to.

As to your second comment - Who says that you can't still have Karyn telling her mother about the wishes? That is literally what the last part of this episode is about, whether or not she should tell her.

So he tries to end a vague wish by making another kind of vague wish.

Thanks. On the other site that I frequently add to (The BE Addventure), I think I'm currently 3rd, by my calculations. The previous guy who ran the site used to have monthly updates, showing exactly how many episodes had been added, but that count hasn't been updated since September 2020, so I'm not sure what count other authors have, but by my own calculations, I have about 6,500 episodes, so that puts me at #3. So between that site and this one ... yeah, that's a whole lot of episodes!

By the way, this is my 11,000th episode on the site.

He doesn't wait around. He goes home and gets the stone (https://fictionbranches.net/fb/story/16964).

If you want to criticize the way the wish is being granted, then go back to deepfried's episode (https://fictionbranches.net/fb/story/16944) where Linda Masters is affected by Cecil's wish. It's basically the same thing. I just continued with the same idea. As for filling the well, it's kind of the only way to do it, as wishing that the well was filled would make it so that the well essentially wouldn't exist, so that would be a contradiction of the wish for the existence of the wishing well in the first place. I wrote that episode a long time ago, but even though I didn't write it like that, I kind of got the sense that that's what was meant by it.

I think you mean that the table is set for five, not four. And there's four of them there - Jon, his two siblings, and his mom.

The 'Star Trek' episode mentioned within this episode is called "The Enemy Within", if anyone's wondering.

Yeah, where I live, it's K-5 for Elementary, 6-8 for Middle School, and 9-12 for High School too.

For me, middle school (or junior high school) was 12 to 14 years old. Then high school was 15 to 18. But ages could vary.

Actually, Linda already got inside the house in a previous episode, using a spare key. (Musical Closets Variation: Yes, Jon is Stephanie's Friend)

Normally, I don't think a person affected by the wish would be able to reach their destination so quickly, so I just figured that Zelda must live very close to the school.

Sorry, I guess I missed that.

I know that in a previous episode, Mikey's last name was said to be Matthews, but I changed it to Gibson, because ... well, I prefer that last name.

Nice to see you back, and thanks for adding onto my episode.

Will you be adding new chapters to your newest FictionMania stories anytime soon?

Nice reference to some of my Christmas stories with the Santa thing.

By the way, the title of this episode is a reference to the "Star Trek: TNG" episode "A Fistful of Datas", where the image of the character Data was replacing all the characters in a holodeck program.

Hey, welcome back. I wasn't sure if you'd ever show up again. You haven't added anything in months.
