Ms. Barbara Moore
A Blue State
Dear Ms. Moore,
We are writing to inform that, for the first time in the history of our awards, a story (your “Barb goes BATs”) received
all the members’ votes for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
The members and the Select Committee of Five felt that the
power of your story was so strong we would overlook the fact that, based on an analysis of your writing, English is obviously not your native language.
In addition to power, your story could have had the most extreme character arc, which, according to Section 98765.874.76554301 of our bylaws, is “pretty important.” As you know, character arc shows how much the protagonist has
transformed over the course of the story. Obviously, transforming from an “Energetic Town Slut Fucked by Anyone Who is Able” into an “Inert Small Pile of Ashes” would have been a huge transformation and allowed you to win this category hands down. So, remaining “Energetic Town Slut Fucked by Anyone Who is Able” was an obvious problem in the character arc category.
Despite this, we all felt your story was powerful enough to overcome even this huge deficiency. We were within minutes of making the award official when an attorney, a Mr.
@Loinclothslave (for professional reasons, he REALLY needs to consider a name change), who has spent all his waking moments for the last four years reading the By-laws, pointed out a problem. When, thanks to a recent song by someone named ledoux, he determined your work was an autobiography, he referred us to Section 8844789.254788.7747838 which unequivocally states that, “under no circumstance may the Nobel Prize for Literature be given to a ho.”

So, unfortunately, we cannot grant you the otherwise richly deserved Nobel Prize.
Sincerely,
The Nobel Prize in Literature Select Committee
