Ugh, there is startup founder fanfiction now?

Not exactly -- the founder in the story is a fictional man named Tom.

The author, Miracle Jones, has a website with a number of bizarre, but well-written short stories:

U forgot to add, "Awesome!!!" with a truly beautiful UI.

Really I thought the UI was terrible. So terrible I stopped reading. I want to focus on content, not shit scrolling. Terrible.

By content do you mean text, images, or both? Do you care about things like fonts? Or is it more important that stuff is just consistently readble? What if there a way to make all text on all websites look exactly the same (only formatting is different)?

Hmmm, that was called irony.

Yes, there is startup fan fiction. This isn't even the first piece I've seen on Hacker News. I think it's kind of fucked up, but who am I to say, working a regular job for the man.

I absolutely love Miracle Jones' writing (http://miraclejones.blogspot.com/), but thought this story was fairly lackluster.

Definitely check out "Fear Boys With Dolls" (http://miraclejones.blogspot.com/2010/07/fear-boys-with-doll...) and "Mutamate" (http://miraclejones.blogspot.com/2012/03/mutamate-i-decided-...).

What a terrible waste of time. I thought this stuff was real so I read the whole thing. What's the whole point of this text, is it supposed to be funny?

It's art.

Awesome. I thought it was legit until about half way through. Some pissed off person dragging the Kickstarter guy through the mud... very entertaining.
