Seemingly unwilling to follow the first part of his own advice, Sid rambled on. "Can't imagine where F-Cup got the idea no one else gets to write me," he muttered. "There are literally dozens of loose threads with me in them no one's followed up in in addition to those where I got put backstage. Authors!
