ALT0a : ... That the creator of Half-Life: Full Life Consequences wanted it to be so bad "that it stands the test of time as one of the worst things ever written"? ( Note: Info are [almost] the same as ALT0)

This sounds better, though I think we should use "original author" instead of "creator" to clarify we mean the original fan fiction author and not the video adaptation. What do you think? Blacklemon67 (talk) 16:12, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

ALT0b : ... that the original author of Half-Life: Full Life Consequences wanted it to be so bad "that it stands the test of time as one of the worst things ever written"? ( Note: like ALT0a but slightly more accurate)

Okay then, 1b passed the length test. Leomk0403 (Don't shout here, Shout here!) 02:16, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
