Of course the highest accolade would be for the works that were never even written, since they have a readership of one.
We could take that one step further, and assume that the greatest stories of all, must naturally be the stories that were never even thought of. That is to say, stories that are not stories, because they do not exist in anyone’s mind in any form. Or, as it is more commonly known, nothing.

Therefore, I must conclude that true genius lies in complete nothingness, and that the best ideas that have ever been, have never been, and the most stupendous thoughts have ever been thought, have never been thought.

Furthermore, the smartest people are those who were never conceived, and they are, by default, the greatest writers who have never been known, and their books are the most intelligent that have ever been not written and not thought of.

Not to trivialize your thread, or anything, Lush... But this growing number of posts has rendered it useless, as the best threads are those who were closed without a single reply (or, better yet, were never thought of by members who have not joined).
